The project in detail
A great set of before and after photos tells a story better than any words can, and this staircase project is no exception. Before: a dated, tired-looking space that did nothing for the home's character. After: a vibrant, confident staircase that immediately catches the eye and sets the tone for the whole house. The feature colour was chosen collaboratively with the customer. It was bold enough to make a real statement but considered enough to work harmoniously with the rest of the home's decor. All woodwork, including banister, spindles, skirting and architraves, was carefully prepared, primed, and finished in a bright white to provide maximum contrast and a clean, crisp result. The preparation work was particularly important here: sanding back, filling and priming before the first coat of colour went on. Getting the prep right is what makes the colour look so clean and even in the finished photos.
