A black staircase may seem like a dramatic move, but this kind of hallway feature can create a striking focal point in any modern home. If you love the idea of a dark staircase but don’t want to commit to such a bold statement, redesigning and renovating your staircase with black hard components such as bannisters and spindles can create the desired effect.
Will a black banister suit my home?
Black banisters can suit many homes, no matter what the interior style. Whether you’re looking to pair against a clean white wall for dramatic contrast, or create a moody ambient hallway, a black banister can easily be incorporated to suit every taste.
At Neville Johnson our expert designers will help you create a flawless black staircase. Our skilled team will consider every element to ensure your staircase flows seamlessly with your home. Choose your desired materials and shades from our vast selection and enjoy every step of your new dream designer staircase.
Black banister design ideas
How you design the black components of your staircase will depend on your desired finish. Black painted banisters, spindles or risers can work across traditional and contemporary homes. If you’re planning a minimal modern space, black matte or gloss metals can work wonderfully.
Black handrail and spindles
A top-to-bottom black staircase, like our Modern Black Oak Staircase, is an eye-catching design that combines a black handrail, spindles and treads. Choose a wholly black staircase to add a dramatic and moody flair to your home. This design works well with clean white walls, natural furniture and small pops of colour.
Black and neutral staircases
Adding elements of black or grey to your neutral staircase is a great way to modernise your hall, stairs and landing. Black spindles work well with natural timber steps and handrails, like in our Contemporary Forged Steel and Timber and Steel Staircase designs.
Choosing materials for a black staircase
When designing your staircase with Neville Johnson, you’ll have many options to consider. The materials you choose can make all the difference. Opt for warmth and timeless appeal with wood, or add a modern tactile element with brushed metal or gloss.
Black wooden banister
Painted wood banisters combine wood’s warmth and hardwearing qualities with any shade you like. Choose black or dark grey to enjoy the aesthetic benefits of a dark staircase while maintaining the beauty of your wood’s natural grain. Add black painted wood for your handrail, spindles, risers or steps to create a unique design.
Black metal banister
Introduce black metal spindles or a black handrail to your staircase for a striking finish. You can alternate black and natural wooden spindles or choose a more intricate black metal spindle style to add flair to your staircase.
Black and glass staircases
Black banisters and steps are an eye-catching addition to any hall, stairs and landing. Balance the intensity with glass panelling to keep things bright and airy. Glass staircase panels work beautifully in spaces with lots of natural light. This modern touch can elevate any staircase design.
