Heavenly Staircases

Is your reno project this year to finally rid yourself of the worn carpet on your stairs and replace it with hardwood? You know, the stairs that greet your guests as they walk in the door? Maybe you just want to paint out the spindles and railing and replace the carpet? I have had quite a few clients in recent months who want to do just that. One of my trades professionals specializes in this and the results are quite dramatic. If you are choosing upgrades for a new home, it’s money well spent to upgrade the stairs to hardwood. If you are not convinced, take a look at these inspirational images.

via Design Sponge. If it’s not in the budget to replace your stairs with hardwood, painting the spindles white, staining the railing dark or painting it black and replacing the carpet with a striped one like this just might do the trick.

  1. Wow..great photos! Very inspirational!

    In many homes the staircase is a very prominent feature that you see as soon as you come through the front door. A fantastic staircase like one of these would greatly enhance the first impression your home makes to visitors.
