Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 17, 2012 6:26 pm I initially decided on white...both family and pre-start lady convinced me to go Treasured Silver as it was more modern/contemporary and would go with anything (that was the reason I chose white!) Anyway as time has passed I am second guessing myself now.... The rest of the home is basically white/timber...We have white windowframes.. Your thoughts please.

I think a silver balustrade would look more elegant and classic than white in the long run. Also white can get a bit grubby, and get a little yellow hint after a while I am told. We've gone for stainless steel on our stairs, and we have white windows! I certainly don't think it will look bad, but you should go with what YOU want at the end of the day:) Re: HELP please with stair balustrade colour 3Jun 18, 2012 1:12 pm Thanks Leighlou yes I guess I really shouldn't get too stuck in what I am always used to and get a little more adventurous and daring woohoo Slab Poured 30/05/12 Lower Floor Plate High 20/08/12 Upper Floor & Wall Framing 30/08/12 Roof 14/09/12 Lock-Up 13/12/12 Yee haaaaa WE ARE IN & I HAVE A NEW IPHONE Re: HELP please with stair balustrade colour 4Jun 18, 2012 1:35 pm Hey oneness, Are you talking painting the balustrade silver or having a stainless steel balustrade? I'm not sure I agree with the others using a silver paint I think either stainless steel but if it is timber then I would paint it white, I can't say I've seem many balustrades painted silver before, any pics? Re: HELP please with stair balustrade colour 5Jun 18, 2012 1:41 pm Hi Gogo Sorry I should have stated that the balustrade is powdercoated aluminium! Yeah I definitely wouldnt like a silver paint...would look very tacky I think!

I agree I think the stainless steel looks very contemporary over a painted one Re: HELP please with stair balustrade colour 7Jun 18, 2012 3:10 pm I wish it was stainless steel sadly though toooo expensive for us so we are having powdercoated aluminium and the closest colour is treasured silver but it does not have the classy look of SS...

Fingers crossed it will look OK ๐ 2 7158 |
