I never really thought much about banisters until my friend Pamela asked me to post about them for a friend. Here is what I think now - I only like really dark wood or black for the banister and white for the poles conecting them to the stairs - The contrast makes it chic. I also prefer curved -it is so much more dramatic. Do you care or have thoughts about banisters - I would love to hear them.

Thomas Britt also designed the Lucite banister which adds a modern touch to the old house. Hanging on the stairs is Walking Cake II by Laurie Simmons.

painted our banister a black lacquer with a shiny finish and it really makes a statement. Here are some images
to give you an idea.

I don't have banisters in my house so I feel like we are on the same page... I don't have an opinion... Bit seeing the black and white is so refreshing! Young hip vibe... No stained wood, thank goodness!!!
