Black balusters and oak treads frame this bright foyer stair. Wood warmth meets white walls.
Design Palette
Black square balusters contrast warm oak treads on an open L-shaped stair
About This Design
We paired matte black square balusters with natural oak treads and white painted risers to strike the balance farmhouse renovators want most. The open rail system draws the eye up through double-height ceilings while wide-plank floors and a brass chandelier add warmth throughout the foyer.
Design Tip
Paint risers crisp white while keeping treads in natural oak for contrast that brightens the whole stair. Choose matte black over shiny chrome for balusters, since fingerprints stay invisible and the look stays timeless.
