Restain
Tearing out a tired staircase can seem like your only option if it doesn’t fit with your new room decor, or if you just can’t stand the sight of it any longer. This can mean a lot of cost and a lot of effort when really it’s not always necessary.
Staining or painting your existing staircase can give you the grand stairway feeling that you’re aching for. You could stain the whole frame with a mahogany color, and contrasting white bars, or go for something more neutral and paint the whole thing white.
