This residential renovation features a striking contrast of dark stained oak treads and handrails against crisp white risers and stringers, a hallmark of transitional design. The staircase is anchored by substantial square box newel posts in a matching deep wood stain, providing a bold architectural foundation. We utilized slim satin black metal balusters (spindles) to maintain an open, airy feel while adding a touch of industrial elegance. The entire project is grounded by wide-plank light white oak flooring, creating a seamless flow throughout the main level.
