Handrail color?

Hi, are the handrail and stair treads painted black or are they a dark wood? I love the look but can't tell whether painted or not. Thank you!

Thank you for your question-- the handrail and the stair treads are Quartersawn Oak with a Dark Walnut Stain.

Hi Michelle, Your space looks fantastic; I love the colour scheme you have gone for! Orange is a great accent colour, and a burnt orange shade would look lovely, such as Dulux Nigerian Sands 4. This will work alongside the pavilion grey and the railings colour which you currently have beautifully. Another idea would be to paint your woodwork in Dulux Pure Brilliant White, which will add that extra bit of light to the space, and will look amazing against the grey wall too. http://bit.ly/2fb99EG http://bit.ly/2g4SYbp Good luck with it all and please let me know how you get on!

Thanks so much for your replies. Really helpful and definitely food for thought. Shjuly71 - I actually really like the brightness of the light grey wall photo you attached thank you! Although it's less cosy I think that would do the world of good in this house. We will have the living rooms cosy and literally only use the hallway to get between rooms and upstairs. The wooden floor is an awful red stained and full of holes where heating has been installed etc so we desperately want a carpet to stop the drafts etc. We have had new windows and front door installed just before Christmas and that has made an amazing difference in the heat levels but I really want a thick heavy door curtain too. I really feel the cold. We have a multifuel burner in the main living room and have lived with that lit since September (plus central heating on timer etc). Minnie101 - I think it would look stunning to be all white - or a softer version as suggested - although I haven't ever been 'brave' enough to try anything other than brilliant white. Maybe this could be the time? We do have a mirror which came with the house and is bleughhhh (being honest) and is currently above an old teak 1920's walnut sideboard behind the door with the glass panel in the photo. The sideboard is really dreadful but is my other half's family heirloom and has lots of their history in it so I'm stuck with it. I did suggest it would look really lovely in the cellar or garage but he isn't for taking me up on that one! We do have the upstairs bathrooms to re-do but that won't be for a couple of years as we also have a kitchen to relocate into an annexe that was added on and that's going to be a huge job. Jonathandb1972 - I really love the idea of painting the radiators the same colour as the wall and would never have thought of doing that. They stand out so much like a sore thumb but they're really needed and do a decent job of keeping some heat in the hallway. Would I just ask for a metal paint / spray in the same colour and it would match? (We are DIYers - although himself was a multi-skilled joiner in years past so have a bit of help on that front - but we will be tackling the decorating ourselves as we have a such a huge amount to do). I hadn't thought that the pine was poor quality and I quite like the stripped vestibule door and the sides but I'm not a fan of shiny varnish and orange stain. But have since looked and see that they are pretty awful. So feel less worried about painting now. I think plan might be to paint as I was first thinking - skirtings and dado in white or soft white but leave the doors, frames and architraves in wood and see if it looks just plain odd. If it does I won't worry then about painting them all. Thanks again for your input. Really really helpful.

Ha ha, maybe, but I doubt it. I’m not much of a cleaner. It could be the type of cleaner I suppose. If I use anything it’s either flash spray or a shot of diluted zoflora. We only painted it in spring. Our last house was similar and I definitely didn’t clean that as much as there wasn’t an ongoing global pandemic in progress when we lived there. Maybe my husband is using something else on it?
