My stairwell has a very short ceiling due to a closet. Unfortunately, I can't simply eliminate the closet because the attic access is inside of it. Anyone over 5'7" hits their head on the stairwell, so I've decided to paint some "caution stripes" on the corners of the ceiling until I get around to changing the closet.
I've already painted orange stripes, but have not yet removed all tape. My original plan was to paint the alternating stripes black, just to offset it from the rest of the wall paint. However, after peeling tape, I'm thinking the orange may look good by itself. What do you all think? ![]() |

I think if anyone misses that, they deserve to smash their head into the wall.

I think the black will make the thing not contrast as much.

Lol. going down the stairs usually isn't the problem, it's coming up the stairs. The stripes continue at the same size underneath. Eventually, I'll raise the floor of the closet and just put in a single step on the side to climb up inside to get to the attic. I have no clue why the closet was built the way it was.

and install a video camera. People banging their heads (especially when drunk) would make for some funny Youtube vids.

Pick up some glow in the dark paint. Layer it on. Put the orange stripes over over it.
Orange isn't going to do you any good in a blackout |
