Has anyone changed the direction of their staircase? We have just bought an EM but the start of the staircase faces the kitchen door and cuts the space between the living room and the dining room. The demarcation is good but we were thinking maybe can shift the lower half of the staircase against the wall - which is similar to other EM layouts i've seen. This will then open up the space of the house. Currently the space under the stairs is very wasted!
