Crisp Architects We tried a black opaque stain, but in the end it was painted with semi-gloss paint.

witzkeracing We like the look of the black paint! How did you apply it to get a smooth, brushless finish? Do you apply anything on top of the paint to resist scuff marks and scratches? Thank you!

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Julia Pockett to Unravel the Mystery of Black
Rodika Chi, an expert in the principles of feng shui, has a lot to say on using black in interior design. "Black is full of the feng shui energy of mystery and sophistication; it holds the energy of power and protection," she declares. She suggests using black in moderation in an entrance hall, kitchen, dining room or child's room.This stairwell uses quite a bit of black, but the white walls and yellow flowers bring this design to life, and the warm chest of drawers prevents the space from being austere.

The black of the floor boards and stairs create a relaxing contrast against the white of the walls and trim. Note how the flower shout out in marked contrast! Mixed cut flowers would be even better.
