I learned from my mom that black and white always works, period. Whether in fashion or interiors, whether it's a traditional or modern space, there's nothing like a black and white palette that says timeless. Black can add a bit of edginess to any room and help a room from becoming too sweet. No matter how traditional, any piece of furniture painted black is transformed instantly and can work in just about any space. I apply the same concept to architectural details such as your stairs. The graphic quality of black and white can make a space more conducive to incorporating modern furnishings and bright colors into the mix.

Gold nautilus shells go from campy to sophisticated in this elegant entryway.

2. Foyer console. Paint a console from your local thrift store, and you have a catchall for all your keys, mail and cell phones as soon as you enter the house. Add a couple of dashing table lamps to finish the look.

So many old homes have beautiful wood staircases that should be shown off. I love how the two lamps brighten this entryway and show off this incredible banister and stairs. Instead of saturating the area with color, the upholstered green ottomans provide a touch of green and soften what might have felt like an otherwise stark space.

The Color.

Love how this stairway curves at the bottom. I like wood spindles but would pick ones with a little more character, like the white against the stained wood but would probably not go that dark.

For any room

Like the use of color on stairs

I like this color theme...I also like the chair rail and paneling...does this make sense to do throughout the house? Or just in the area where the stairs are?
