I think it is a little much, imo. I'd do black, I think.

In a word?

NO :)

Hmm. It's not often you see colorful interior stair railings, but it can be done. I like this one with metal cables instead of balusters:

Note, however, that the accent wall is a darker ground which allows the handrail to really pop. I wouldn't do teal for both the railing and the accent wall.

Absolutely not . It would look cheap and IMO not MCM at all. If you want a teal wall maybe but no way the rail.

Thanks, very helpful! So the consensus is not to paint the handrails dark teal. And some of you have recommended black. In that case, the spindles and the moulding that the spindles sit in will be white ad the handrail as well as the grab bar on the other side of the stairs will be black.

Q: For black, what do you think of Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black https://www.sherwin-williams.com/en-us/color/color-family/neutral-paint-colors/sw6258-tricorn-black?

Q: Or we could do dark grey, what do you think Sherwin Williams Iron Ore https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family/sw7069?

Q: Or we could do a dark brown, for example, Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze https://www.sherwin-williams.com/en-us/color/color-family/neutral-paint-colors/sw7048-urbane-bronze. I am wondering if this Urbane Bronze might work better than black for us because the stair treads will be stained to match the flooring which is a brownish taupe https://www.calibamboo.com/product-legends-golden-hour-oak-durable-vinyl-flooring-7902600201.html.%C2%A0

Looking forward to your thoughts!!! Thank you!!!

I love MCM and a lot of what I love is the simple chouces IMO leave the handrail and for sure not white spindles they will look cheap just black and simple please

Wood finish as is for the handrail and black or charcoal for the balusters.

Ugh, no teal on a handrail. If it's wood, then sand it and stain it to match the floors. Keep the balusters white.

I would do all black and make it look like iron railing . A sharp black .

Did not catch the white already there so yes the railing to match the floors and I guess keep the white .

I see a lot of MCM homes with wood handrails and black balusters. I would do that if you can. If not all black. I would use the darkest black I could find.

SW Black Fox is a good blackish-brown.

I suggest black, it's what will make everthing else stand out.

Thanks for your comments, all! So now we've decided against the teal and I'm glad about that!!! Thank you!!!

And now we're choosing between the SW Tricolor Black and SW Urbane Bronze. And you can see both on the railing in this photo.

We feel that black on the handrail and on the grab bar across from the handrail, will feel too strong and jarring with the white spindles, SW Balboa Mist on the walls, and this color floor https://www.calibamboo.com/product-legends-golden-hour-oak-durable-vinyl-flooring-7902600201.html.  So....we are leaning toward Urbane Bronze which is the color on the right in the photo.

BTW, this is the railing you see when you come into our house. Of course, this is all going to be cleaned up after this remodeling project is over!

I would go with the black, and also black on the spindles. No White.

Definitely all black!

Here is your railing against Balboa Mist. I definately think that all black is better... Of course it's your house, and you decide in the end, but it is my recommendation.

So many people are so afraid of using color! Why not paint the handrail teal and let the color flow from one room to the next?

I absolutely love the way this person used flip flopped her wall and trim color in 2 adjacent rooms, yet most people will say you have to use the same color on trim throughout the house.

You can do an Accent ceiling

Why not a handrail or stair risers?
