Ideas for Updating a More Traditional Staircase

July 22, 2015

If you live in a traditional home but are interested in giving it a modern makeover, then it is likely that your staircase will be particularly problematic because of its prominence. However, not all updates have to be as drastic as removing it and then replacing it with something new.

Here are some ideas for updating your traditional staircase:

  • The simplest method for updating a white staircase is to add a touch of black so that it becomes timeless enough to fit both modern and traditional interiors. Better still, black and white staircases make excellent complements for modern furnishings in the same room.
  • Painting the entire staircase gray can make it seem modern without having to change its actual structure.
  • Surround the staircase with modern furnishings such as non-traditional lighting to lend them a modern feel. This is particularly effective if the staircase receives a non-traditional paint-job.
  • Bear in mind that staircases don’t have to be either modern or traditional. Mixing architectural woodcarvings with more modern elements such as bold colors and non-traditional patterns can work very well indeed.
