Modern Stair Railing- replace or paint- Keeping costs down.
Hi, we are redoing our main floor which included updating out 70s modern open stairs with glass railing. I love the glass but not the posts. I feel like the post dates them. The plan is to update the carpet treads to wood and paint the stringer black. Should I replace the railing to a custom metal railing or just paint it black?
With covid, our costs have gone out of whack and I would like to manage them but also don't want to regret not having taken care of when the whole house was under construction.
Attaching some rough computer generated image of the current railing in white and if I paint it black without replacing them.
Thank in advance for your help!

2年前I agree with above, paint them black. Make sure you use a good quality paint, since you are also painting the banister, and they are subject to wear.

2年前I prefer the white stair stringer & handrail with the black door. Too much black gets oppressive, IMO.

2年前I think it looks like a commercial staircase if you leave it, black or white.
Isn't there a less expensive option?If not, then painting out the railing to black would look better. maybe once you get the wood treads in and paint the stringer black, it will look better?
Doesn't look like you have a large run to do. have you priced out any of these?I just think the squared off railing looks more modern than the current one.
what color stain on the treads are you doing?a natural like these?
Or a warmer tone:I love this wood tone (and the thick treads) w/the black
even these darker wood tones look good w/the black.do you have to have the glass? I think any of these are a nice option

質問の投稿者昨年Thank you all! I was able to find a railing contractor that can do it for lesser. So now getting a horizontal metal railing. Still undecided on stringer color. Here is the in progress pic and Will post the railing pics after it’s done.
