Help with dated staircase
Comments (10)I'd just paint the newel posts white. You could paint the top of the post and handrail in a light-mid neutral if wanted (as shown in the pic but with wood!) or just do the whole lot white. I might consider putting in spindles at the bottom as I assume your front door is a few feet away? I have the same issue with my staircase which has been altered, different period and it has spindles, but you step through the front door and after a few feet you encounter a "solid barrier" to the hall which is the bottom of the stairs!...See MoreBedroom before after 70s dated property

Comments (4)Agreeing with Gina! It will bring it straight back up to date. You could also consider dyeing the stone using a product called dyebrick, maybe in Charcoal to match the window frames. Dyebrick I think round the back, i'd copy the planting and wall on the left and bring it across under the front door. Paint the railings to match the windows or even change the railings possibly for wood to soften the look and make it a little more inviting. It will help frame the door and make the back visually more appealing. I think the render would look good in 'Sandstone' it works well with Greys....See MoreNeed help for a photo shoot of our empty property
