This staircase renovation refreshed a heavy, traditional design into a sleek, contemporary feature. With black metal spindles, natural oak wood tones, and clean lines, stairs now feel open, elegant, and fully aligned with home's modern style.
What We Did
-
Baluster Replacement
Swapped thick white spindles for slim black metal ones to create a modern, airy contrast. -
Handrail & Newel Posts
Refinished handrail and posts in warm oak for a natural, timeless touch. -
Tread & Riser Updates
Installed new oak treads with a light stain and painted risers crisp white for brightness and durability. -
Custom Trim Detailing
Added precise wood trim along walls and landings to integrate seamlessly with home's architecture. -
Lighting Enhancement
Added subtle recessed lighting to highlight design and improve safety at night. -
Protective Finishing
Applied a clear finish to wood elements for long-term protection and easy maintenance.
The Finished Result
The staircase now feels open, elegant, and perfectly balanced. The black spindles create a striking silhouette against light walls and wood tones, while oak steps add natural warmth. It complements open living space below and enhances home's flow from floor to floor.
