Painting the stairs banister
Hi
I changing the banister in my house and have removed the spindles and will be replacing with glass. Paint-wise, I'm wondering what would look best. Currently I have two paint colours I'm looking at Farrow & Ball Railings and Little Greene Slaked Lime Mid.
In the attached photo I am thinking about painting 1 and 3 in Railings and he rest in SLM. Couple of questions ...
1. Will that look nice?
2. Should I paint no.2 & No. 4 in Railings too?
3. No. 6, 7, 5 and 8 we're thinking about leaving in SLM (which is what will be on the walls)
The second picture (without the numbers) is the top of the stairs. I'm not sure whether to paint the posts here in Railings too or leave it all in SLM? There will be a light grey carpet here up the stairs and on the upstairs floors. Downstairs will be a light grey wooden herringbone floor.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks

Comments (0)Here is an example of one of our before and after jobs; we hope you like it as much as we do. Our customer wanted to update from an old, painted ranch style so we discussed different designs and sent examples of the different ranges they could chose from.

Comments (9)Hi Peony, Very interesting choice of the Vardo! Most stairwells are dark and narrow and the best way to enlarge, inspire and brighten up the space is to paint colour white adding occasional feature wall, paint handrails in bold paint colours, adding coloured and big art/frames. Painting and decorating the staircase in such bold colour is brave, and it will look outstanding, guaranteed. The only worry is that present wall colour may not necessarily work with it. You could add little more and paint walls - that would certainly be a bonus. A blue would nail it. Good luck with your project!

Comments (15)Just thought I’d update now the job is finished. I went for a mid grey in the end. It seemed to have browner tones when I used the tester pot on the brown rails. Never mind, it still looks much more modern and the carpet is fairly worn so won’t last forever. Doing two colours is hugely time consuming with all the masking involved....See MoreMartin Lawrence
