Colour for banisters - F&B
Comments (13)I would say you have 2 options: 1) paint as Pat says, but choose a nice dark matt colour, ( or I suppose White if that is you want, its a matter of personal preference), and handrail dyed and varnished MATT, or, stain / matt varnish the whole lot. Here, with discussion with client, and led by the client who wanted a low maintenance finish, the 300 yr old beams had been treated and left as natural, unfinished, and the new soft wood ( budget did not allow for oak or hardwood) was finished in stain and matt varnish - I thought it might not work, but the end result was pleasing to all and very very happy client. This expressed the new joiner from the older structural timber frame. What do you think?...See MoreStairs in kitchen / Staircase / Bannisters / Glass

Comments (86)Sorry, bit of a long thread but thought it’d still be clearer than starting a new one. I’ve touched on this subject before but want to present it to you again: Do you think painting these doors, of bathroom and separate toilet, in F&B’s Off Black would work? Also, would I need to paint the insides of the doors too?...See MoreIdeas needed on how to update hallway and stairs
Comments (7)My stepson is a plasterer and he usually skims over artex, but yours is very textured so may be worth getting a plasterer in to advise and quote. This is something plasterers deal with daily (oh the fashion for artex in the 80s!) so they really have seen it all before. I think the wooden partition and rails can be done by a carpenter or a builder. The lighting is better sorted by an electrician. So I would start with removal of wood, fit new rail etc, sort out lighting then lastly get the walls plastered. I agree that the carpet does need updating....See MoreEllie
