Hello house community, we need help selecting a stair rail color. We've got 3 options we're thinking of......please let me know what you'll think would look best - many thanks for your vote!!!

Please note the options are only to illustrate the color choices and not the style we'll be going with.

Option 1: White hand rail and black baluster

Option 2: Black hand rail and black baluster

Option 3: White hand rail and white baluster

Are you installing a simple hand rail on the wall or rail complete rail, newel post and balusters on the left side?

Sorry, none of your choices :-/

I would match your stair treads. Here's why. White handrail is going to a beast to keep clean. And the black iron to me looks like every black exterior railing on every mid-range house of my childhood. It will always look generic and slightly unkempt to me.

I like @kelly's idea of picking a lovely fresh color of paint for the door. You can then bring it down onto the stair risers. Either a solid color to match the front door, or go wild and add some decorative elements to the risers with stencils. Or think of staining the door a great color and coordinate the stair railings and risers. I have an idea book put together for just such project that might spark some ideas for you. http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/16700983/thumbs/Kathryn-Delany-s-Decorative-Stair-Risers

We had a landscaper come in and draw a plan. Re-used the whole bricks into a grid pattern, and filled the squares with concrete. This summer's job is to build the bench seats around the outside for a seating area. The flat surface has been great for our children - they learned to ride their bikes out here, and love decorating it :-)

Hi V Lyon. I'm a novice at this myself so I don't have any real comments except that what you're looking at doing seems nice. But I did want to ask is what program you used to do your proposed makeover? Was it just Photoshop? Or something else? I'm keen to try this on our 1970s house to get a feel for how it might look...

We'll likely be installing a simple hand rail on the left side of the wall, but for the lower section (where there isn't any wall), we'll likely be installing a short section of rail, balusters and maybe a newel post. We're thankful for any suggestions/recommendations on what would look and work best!

I would match your treads with the hand rail and newel post and cap. Paint the balusters white.
