Before: Classic all Wood Railing
The residence was a testament to timeless design with its traditional curved wood railings paired with primed white wood balusters. With traditional curved wood railings and primed white wood balusters, the design, though classic, had become a juxtaposition against the homeowner's evolving contemporary taste. The client approached us with a clear vision: to update the space and infuse it with a sleek, modern flair without compromising the home's inherent character.

Case Study: Stair + Railing Makeover in Morris Plains, NJ
Before: Old Broken Stairs + Railings
The original staircase was burdened with dark wood treads and railings, which, while aiming for a classic look, ended up not matching the floor and contributing to a more enclosed feel within the home. This mismatch not only detracted from the home's aesthetic unity but also made the space feel smaller and less inviting. The broken parts of the railing and lifted treads further emphasized the urgent need for a renovation that would not only repair but rejuvenate the staircase’s presence in the home.
​
Our Approach:
Acknowledging the homeowners' vision for a brighter, more cohesive space, our renovation plan pivoted towards introducing a lighter aesthetic. We selected high-quality, lighter wood materials for both the treads and the railings, ensuring all elements harmonized not just with each other but also with the home's flooring and overall color scheme. This involved a detailed consideration of wood types and finishes that would bring a fresh and airy feel to the space.

After: A Transformation to Lightness and Harmony
The completed renovation marks a significant departure from the staircase's former dark aesthetic, introducing a lighter, brighter look that completely transforms the space.
