What is the best way to paint my living room skirting board?

Staircase without newel posts
I’d like to fit a staircase between a solid wall and a half-wall that I plan to build. The half-wall would include built-in storage under the stairs. I don’t want to use newel posts as I would prefer the half-wall to be as slim as possible to save space. Before I reach out for quotes, I’d like to find out if this idea is feasible. Specifically: • Can the staircase be structurally supported by a solid wall and a half-wall without newel posts? • What kind of reinforcements would the half-wall need to support the staircase and storage? • Are there any building regulations I should be aware of for this type of design? I’d love to hear from anyone with experience on similar projects. Many thanks in advance!
