The long, winter months in Salt Lake City, Utah, are almost over, despite there still being some lingering snow on the ground. With spring, comes a rush of people wanting to update their homes—inside and out. An updated banister can add so much to the look of your home. Whether you have a two-story house or a rambler, the banister is one of the first things guests see when they come into your home. Besides being needed to help keep you safe getting from one floor to another, banisters can have a visual impact on the whole home.
So, if you have decided that you want a change, the big question is how much of a change? Do you want to paint your existing rail a different color? Or are you looking at replacing the whole thing altogether? The good news is that in today’s design environment, almost anything goes. You could have a traditionally decorated house with a black iron contemporary stair railings. Or you could have slick modern leanings throughout your house and still go with a white, traditionally shaped banister.
When deciding on what do to with your banister, here are a few questions to ask yourself: do you want your banister to stand out? Or blend in? Answering these questions can help you to know which direction to go.
If you have no idea what different styles of staircases are out there then you can start by surfing the internet for ideas. When you come across a banister that speaks to you, copy and paste the picture into a Word file, or save it in a Pinterest account. After collecting a number of pictures, when you look at them, you will start to see similarities, and it will be easier for you to figure out what you like and what you really want to do.
