Wood and glass staircases strike a balance between traditional and contemporary, thanks to the contrasting textures of the two materials.

Then, sand the spindles. If they’re in good condition with no peeling paint, use fine sandpaper to go over the surface roughly. If the paint is damaged, use a flat scraper to peel and remove the sections of damaged paint first. Then, use medium-grit sandpaper to sand down to the bare wood. Stairs are most easily painted with a big paintbrush for the flatter areas, and a smaller brush for cutting in at the edge and detailing.

Elisa Cirulli , an interior stylist based in Harrogate, who has just been nominated for the Livingetc Best Room 2012 Northern Design Award, and who has just done her own bedroom in Farrow & Ball Lamp Room Grey paint, has the following advice: “Don’t be afraid to go against the grain and use a dark colour even if the room doesn’t receive much natural light. When the walls are dark, the boundaries of a room tend to disappear, creating an illusion of infinite space.

Use decorator’s tape to protect the underside of your bannister or areas you don’t want to get paint on. This is especially useful if you’re painting the spindles a different colour to the bannister. Put the tape as close to the edge of the spindles as possible, protecting the areas you’re most likely to get paint on. This will also give you satisfyingly clean lines when you finish. If you’re not painting the bannister a different colour, you will only need the decorator’s tape at the base of the spindles.

Keep it Simple

Compared to natural wood, a grey staircase can add a contemporary feel to your home’s interior. Grey is an increasingly popular choice, as it complements almost all colour palettes, from muted neutrals to bold pops of colour. For an industrial feel, consider a steel staircase with glass panels. The subtle hint of grey from the steel will give your space a modern edge, while glass keeps your hallway looking bright as light is encouraged to flow through the panels.
