Black Banister White Spindles

At the foot of a white staircase accented with a glossy black banister contrasting white spindles a gold finial and dark stained wood treads a black and gold foyer chest is topped with framed art lit by a blue lamp katie emmons design view full size

That completely changed the look of our living room entry room except for one glaring thing the stair banister with all the black white grays and cooler wood look in our tile the orange oak in the banister really stood out not in a good way in our front room so we decided it was finally time to tackle this project

Combine the two using gray on the railing and newel posts and white on the spindles or opt for an all grey banister for a spa like look swap out the gray paint for a rich navy or near black green

We updated our stairwell railings by sanding down the orange tinted oak railings and staining them with minwax dark walnut then we replaced our white wood balusters with new iron ones and it x27 s a totally different room if you missed our past updates here they are week 1 the design plan week 2 how to save on house paint

I have a white bannister i wanted to update it so i wanted to leave the spindles white and paint the post and top railing black just like yours i started on it lastnight and i feel like i x27 m in over my head the first thing is the black is oil based this is what home depot told me to get it is crazy shiny i feel like i used the wrong
