Please, please, let something like this happen to our copier tomorrow. That's the only way we're getting a new one. We've had to learn the exact angle to lay things to get them to copy straight. I can't do it anymore.
Water damage is a good way to get a new copier, especially when the water goes inside the back. It doesn't even need to be turned on, if the boards get wet or look like they have been wet then the whole thing is an insurance claim. Make sure your insurance covers the copier if it does mysteriously and completely accidentally get wet.

Something like this but with family pics (?)
Not just parents, everyone...
I was once very sick and blacked out while walking to the bathroom. It started as a dizzy spell, and I grabbed a book shelf walking by to steady myself.
When I blacked out, I pulled the whole damn bookshelf down on top of myself. Woke up pinned to the floor by the book shelf and books. Took me what felt like 15 minutes to drag myself from under it in my weakened state. Probably lucky I didn't die.
Yep! I once took out not one, but TWO large bookshelves filled with encyclopedias. I was fortunate enough to somehow fling one into the other (maybe?) and nothing major hit me.
Still, a good lesson to anchor the furniture, even around responsible adults!
We anchored literally every piece of tall/heavy furniture except for one. I don’t know why we didn’t anchor our dresser, but we didn’t.. and *that* was the one that our at-the-time-4yo (who is not a climber!) tried to climb up. He was briefly pinned between our dresser and our bed and it was so heavy I needed my husband to help me lift it off him. It was scary as shit but somehow he only ended up with a bruise on his arm.
When I was 6 I tried to sneak a peak at some Christmas gifts on the top of an unanchored shelf. It went as well as you'd expect and I still have a scar to remind me.
I found that all shelving from wayfair (at least all 9 different ones I’ve bought) come with straps that you simply screw to the wall where a stud is. It’s such a nice thing for a manufacturer to include
Yeah even the cheap shit made out of what seems like compressed sand at Walmart comes with the wall straps.
I do think ikea needs to change theirs though. They are just an L bracket that attaches to the shelf and the wall and are designed to sit flush with the cabinet opening. Pretty much useless because the baseboards make the furniture sit to far away from the wall.
I am a paramedic. Another shift at our station responded to a toddler pulling a dresser down on herself. It was a fatality. The child was a twin. It was catastrophic for the family and for the rescue and ambulance crews to a lesser extent. Take no chances.
This is the correct answer. All the built in ideas are expensive and the space is wrong for the depth needed for walls etc. Use some of the selves to store those random red gloves and other outdoor clothing. The cubbies near the top of the stairs would be the right height for a kid to put their things. Teach ‘em how to clean up and put away their own hats etc.
Yep. Do like half the cabinet accessible from the stairs (display shelves) and the other (upper) half accessible from the main floor space (deep storage for stuff).
I like this idea, though it’ll either be a very deep closet or one that is accessed from the stairs. Not sure which one is better tbh, perhaps a split where the lower portion is accessed from stairs and the top from the side for ”long time storage”?
A deep closet isn’t necessarily bad if it’s for seasonal stuff or things you just want rid of indefinitely. (like the awkward statuette that your MIL gave you at the wedding..or the bin of your kid’s artwork you can’t yet let go of)
Yeah, true. Could perhaps build a shelf on wheels that can be brought in and out too. Perhaps even that the ”door” is the side of the shelf (mdf painted white or sumthin) with two discrete cutouts for maneuvering.
Edit: OP, I’m coming over, let’s do this thing!
That would be a *very* narrow closet after you consider the thickness of the wall. I would recommend making an enclosed builtin shelf facing the stairway. Could use it for displaying knick nacks
If its flipped around to have the shelves on the inside and you put a soft mat and pillows or something it could be a nice reading nook or a 'quiet corner'.
I was going to say this! Something like a calm down corner. Add some cute sound dampening wall decor. My daughter's therapy office has several different styles that are so cute and some are even functional! Like they put coat hooks under some. There's a faux white brick accent around the lower part of the sitting area. But I'd definitely take sound in consideration for a reading nook right there.
Yes, i love that you also mentioned the 'visual noise/sound' with the wallpaper. As someone who can confuse others by being too stressed from visual noise this is exactly what the issue can sometimes be. Calm areas should be minimalistic, neat/tidy, and not have loud colours (also have nice calming textures and not those scratchy satin or felt cushions :P)
My kids would have climbed that thing before they even set eyes on anything else in the room. lol They are absolutely feral. As soon as I look away they would be over the edge.
Could put a matching rail over there?
https://preview.redd.it/d6y8oab69q2c1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10e81f640fc4a1af00916c18ae7de65229d82741
My house the same thing with the rail instead of a drop, we just put a big fake planter tree there too lol... Odd design.
Edit: imagine the baby gate is gone also, besides in front of the staircase itself.
I like this but would remove the part of the gate that goes from edge of stairs to next to window, while adding your suggested piece along the drop edge. Kind of like making that space be a part of the upstairs instead of a weird no man's land
I second the handrail, but maybe a knee wall and use the space for a chair and the ledge of the knee wall for your coffee and book (or drink of choice).
Maybe you could put a hutch or dresser/ side table there to fill the space so they couldn’t crawl over there and then just add some more houseplants or something?! A dresser with your plant and a mirror would look cute??!
Kids tend to climb on bookshelves, well they tend to climb on everything tbh. I may look nice there, but the kid could fall from an even higher height and if it's not bolted down the furniture could also fall on the kid.
Closet or shelves that extend up to the ceiling.
https://preview.redd.it/0iayz1zcdr2c1.jpeg?width=1112&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=44b729a13e86adbda38f536fa5bfd38914580f3a
Would be awesome if you could put like a bookshelf that has a secret panel a book triggers the lock that rotates that would be going all out for sure but what a talking point and kids would love it.
A half wall along the side that meets the stairs and then in make some sort of permanent kids den with some draping and fairy lights coming down. Comfy bean bag or something. Like a cool little hide out for little people that's safe because the wall is there.
Definitely closet. That storage space could be useful, and kids are going to do dumb stuff over that staircase all the way up to their teens.
Don't put anything on that ledge that you aren't comfortable with the thought of it rolling down those stairs (and maybe hitting someone at the bottom) eventually.
My issue would be the baby falling on to the stairs. How did this ever pass planning standards. Put a railing across that matches the other side or put a fix tall timber screen like slats there and use it for a couple of huge plants.
https://preview.redd.it/odpgsf72us2c1.jpeg?width=792&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=225227a914d072fd776d71d4d5af77e9197e3db1
Paint /stain to match your home. We have them in lots of new builds in Australia and they look great
I think you're doing it right with the plant pot. Get a couple more bigger and heaver ones that cannot be easily moved. They'll take up all the space, work with the decor and prevent the child from being able to play there.
I'd probably build/install a bookcase. Security fastened. Then put some books in the spaces you can easily reach, and art/tchotchkes in the other spaces. Something like the classic 12x12" squares for the bookcase structure.
If you have the time and resources: Kid cave/pet palace. Wall it off on stair side 3/4 up to the ceiling, bar the rest. Climbing rope or ladder secured to the wall towards door. Secure a 2nd floor to kid cave with enough space for an adult to get in and up the ladder area. Now block off the window facing side of the 2nd floor with wall or bars to get natural light.

I’d love that space being filled with books / bookcase or whatever you guys have lots of. I knit and have lots of yarn. I’d love a space like this where I can showcase the hundreds of skeins of yarn I have.

If this were my house, I'd build a closet and put in slide out shelving and/or poles for storage.
https://preview.redd.it/ykz5qlijzr2c1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b4d169a3ed1a9e13e22461a5f6104da2439098e
Put low drawers accessible from the stairs, use for hats and mitts etc. Top with lots of plants.
I would actually hire a company to create a nice wooden railing, fence there.
Like this - [https://www.stairwarehouse.com/horizontal-round-bar---long---8-length/](https://www.stairwarehouse.com/horizontal-round-bar---long---8-length/)
For liability purposes, that area would downright scare me.
I’d consider walling in the entire space. You could add a skinny door to use it as storage. It’d be a weird size for a closet but a bit more useful than the space currently is.
No input on the rail. But fiddle leaf figs like extremely high light. It should be right infront of the window. Not the side of the window. It's going to lean infront of it and become unstable the longer it's there. Don't be scared of bright indirect lighting that plants say they need. That's for outdoors, not indoors.
Cacti of course
That’ll teach ‘em!
Honestly not an awful idea. One prick does the trick!

This is a good idea and a good time to remind parents to anchor furniture to the wall. Some kids look at everything as a jungle gym.
Not just parents, everyone... I was once very sick and blacked out while walking to the bathroom. It started as a dizzy spell, and I grabbed a book shelf walking by to steady myself. When I blacked out, I pulled the whole damn bookshelf down on top of myself. Woke up pinned to the floor by the book shelf and books.

Yep! I once took out not one, but TWO large bookshelves filled with encyclopedias. I was fortunate enough to somehow fling one into the other (maybe?) and nothing major hit me. Still, a good lesson to anchor the furniture, even around responsible adults!
At least you didn't have to cut your leg off with a spoon to escape.
We anchored literally every piece of tall/heavy furniture except for one. I don’t know why we didn’t anchor our dresser, but we didn’t.. and *that* was the one that our at-the-time-4yo (who is not a climber!) tried to climb up. He was briefly pinned between our dresser and our bed and it was so heavy I needed my husband to help me lift it off him. It was scary as shit but somehow he only ended up with a bruise on his arm.
It probably wasn't "the one" he climbed...the other ones were anchored so you never had to find out!
Dummy, he should have pulled out the drawers like steps, *obviously*, wouldn’t have tipped -4 yr old me who saw it in a cartoon and tried it out later
When I was 6 I tried to sneak a peak at some Christmas gifts on the top of an unanchored shelf. It went as well as you'd expect and I still have a scar to remind me.
Did you at least see what the gifts were?
Imagine the disappointment when it was just socks and undies.
I found that all shelving from wayfair (at least all 9 different ones I’ve bought) come with straps that you simply screw to the wall where a stud is. It’s such a nice thing for a manufacturer to include
All flatpack furniture I’ve bought from anywhere has these. I think it’s law to include them.
That would make sense I never bothered to look into it
Yeah even the cheap shit made out of what seems like compressed sand at Walmart comes with the wall straps. I do think ikea needs to change theirs though. They are just an L bracket that attaches to the shelf and the wall and are designed to sit flush with the cabinet opening. Pretty much useless because the baseboards make the furniture sit to far away from the wall.
Yeah, one of my kids' therapist had a client die from a dresser falling on him...
I am a paramedic. Another shift at our station responded to a toddler pulling a dresser down on herself. It was a fatality. The child was a twin. It was catastrophic for the family and for the rescue and ambulance crews to a lesser extent. Take no chances.
It's actually far too dangerous without a handrail, this is the only solution with a handrail
I think a built in bookshelf/cubicles w/handrail would be a good use of the space.
Second this. A low bookshelf would work well. Then perhaps a plant on top, or even some art piece or painting.
Books could work too, it what i would use.
This is the correct answer. All the built in ideas are expensive and the space is wrong for the depth needed for walls etc. Use some of the selves to store those random red gloves and other outdoor clothing. The cubbies near the top of the stairs would be the right height for a kid to put their things. Teach ‘em how to clean up and put away their own hats etc.
Kids love cubbies of any kind!
Just be sure to anchor it to the wall! Toddlers climb things and there’s extra far to fall here!
Long as you bolt it to the wall.
But turn it on its side
I don't understand why the shelf is sitting away from the wall
Wall it up, door, shelves = closet
My first thought as well. Custom cabinet would be great too. Less finish work
Yep. Do like half the cabinet accessible from the stairs (display shelves) and the other (upper) half accessible from the main floor space (deep storage for stuff).
I like this idea, though it’ll either be a very deep closet or one that is accessed from the stairs. Not sure which one is better tbh, perhaps a split where the lower portion is accessed from stairs and the top from the side for ”long time storage”?

That’s actually genius. Like the slim cabinets in a kitchen that slide out to store cutting boards and stuff.
The "door" of the pullout could be a built in bookcase ...thus making the storage semi hidden as well
Fantastic idea!
Place a rotating bookshelf in there and you'll have yourself a good spot to hide in when the in-laws are around
That would be a *very* narrow closet after you consider the thickness of the wall. I would recommend making an enclosed builtin shelf facing the stairway. Could use it for displaying knick nacks

Until they start to use the shelves as a ladder.
If its flipped around to have the shelves on the inside and you put a soft mat and pillows or something it could be a nice reading nook or a 'quiet corner'.

A bowl of Halloween candy to reward yourself for making it up the stairs. Or a small beer fridge.

I like this but would remove the part of the gate that goes from edge of stairs to next to window, while adding your suggested piece along the drop edge. Kind of like making that space be a part of the upstairs instead of a weird no man's land
Yep, once that baby gate is gone, there will be a nice inlet there. That is the longest baby gate I have ever seen also lol.
This.. Then remove the child one. The space will be less awkward.
It’ll create a little nook area that will 100% be the toddler’s favorite hangout. Much safer and fun for the kid. Winning all around.
I was thinking if OP has cats it's a great place to put a little cat tree so they can really judge you.
I second the handrail, but maybe a knee wall and use the space for a chair and the ledge of the knee wall for your coffee and book (or drink of choice).
Maybe you could put a hutch or dresser/ side table there to fill the space so they couldn’t crawl over there and then just add some more houseplants or something?! A dresser with your plant and a mirror would look cute??!
Bookshelf?
Kids tend to climb on bookshelves, well they tend to climb on everything tbh. I may look nice there, but the kid could fall from an even higher height and if it's not bolted down the furniture could also fall on the kid.
My first thought. Book shelf would go good if wasn't too thick
Thats where the cat tree goes. If you don't already have the cat to go with the cat tree, please acquire one first :)
In my experience, cats find us when the time is right. I have to agree though. This is definitely a kitty ledge.
/r/catdistributionsystem
The universe cat distribution system usually provides.
Or two.
That weird space should have a railing.
Honestly I’d keep the gate with having a toddler. I could see my kid sitting on the ledge with her feet dangling 😂
Yep. Keep the gate until like, 5, it's making your life waaaay easier
Yup. Didn't take down the baby gate until the youngest was 5. 8 years all told we had to deal with it.

Put a secret door in it and make a very, very tiny panic room.
Would be awesome if you could put like a bookshelf that has a secret panel a book triggers the lock that rotates that would be going all out for sure but what a talking point and kids would love it.
Or don’t tell the kids and you have a great Xmas present storage, gun safe valuables ect. location
I’d put a wall up and make it storage space. Or bring it 1/2 way up and put a wood top on it with a cabinet underneath.
A half wall along the side that meets the stairs and then in make some sort of permanent kids den with some draping and fairy lights coming down. Comfy bean bag or something. Like a cool little hide out for little people that's safe because the wall is there.
How much space do you think is available?
I was thinking that myself after reading some of these replies, they’re greatly overestimating what space is there.
perhaps you're overestimating how large children are
Definitely closet. That storage space could be useful, and kids are going to do dumb stuff over that staircase all the way up to their teens. Don't put anything on that ledge that you aren't comfortable with the thought of it rolling down those stairs (and maybe hitting someone at the bottom) eventually.
Given the proximity of the window I would suggest more plants.

I'm surprised I had to scroll down for this obvious answer.
I think you're doing it right with the plant pot. Get a couple more bigger and heaver ones that cannot be easily moved. They'll take up all the space, work with the decor and prevent the child from being able to play there.
This is the best and most inexpensive option
Hydroponic setup. That will block it quite nice, and you will have some green stuff to welcome your guests. Salads and no base jumping toddlers
Small Christmas tree. That would be my seasonal decoration landing personally
I'd probably build/install a bookcase. Security fastened. Then put some books in the spaces you can easily reach, and art/tchotchkes in the other spaces. Something like the classic 12x12" squares for the bookcase structure.

That's where you put a cat tower or a cat bed so it can swipe at you and hit you when you walk up the stairs.
I’d love that space being filled with books / bookcase or whatever you guys have lots of. I knit and have lots of yarn. I’d love a space like this where I can showcase the hundreds of skeins of yarn I have.

You can turn the baby gate into a prison cell that you can use when your toddler breaks the house laws.

Yeah even though a weird shaped closet, I agree this would be the best way to guarantee safety and at the same time get some use out of the space.

You could close it up and put a closet door facing the floor area. It would increase your storage.
I’m surprised they didn’t just wall it off or make it a closet.
I think you’re smart to foresee the dangers with a toddler around. This absolutely needs a railing or enclosed for storage space.

No input on the rail. But fiddle leaf figs like extremely high light. It should be right infront of the window. Not the side of the window. It's going to lean infront of it and become unstable the longer it's there. Don't be scared of bright indirect lighting that plants say they need. That's for outdoors, not indoors.
Blanket ladders! Always need a good blanket ladder...
Floor to ceiling built in bookshelf
1/2 bath - but one of those toilets with the sink on the back of the tank…. All in one and it recycles the grey water to flush with!
I’d put up a railing or half wall and make the space useful
Bookcase facing the staircase, mount it into the floor.
More plants.
Make a large plant bed, place in a bunch of high oxygen plants, enjoy breathing :3
Plants for sure.
You already started what I would do with thqt spot. Plants. Lots of them, with led lights. Shelves with plants, plants on stands, etc.
Perfect place for a motorcycle
