Need help deciding to keep this wooden balustrade.

We just purchased this lovely New England home with wooden balustrades. I don't know that I like it, but not sure what to replace it with, whilst keeping within the New England style. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    This link to New England balustrades may help. It also depends on your furniture and style.

    This style is so tricky! I too have had issues styling around this type of banister.

    Options I've done in the past are as follows:

    1.paint the spindles cream but leave the rail the natural finish.

    2. Paint it all in a bronze or black

    3. Paint the spindles in a metallic silver/black making it look like iron work.

    All of these options have a different look and can easily revitalize your home.

    Best of luck!

    as a new englander... i wouldnt describe that as a new england balustrade. its a 1980s balustrade, and the little bit i can see of your home matches that era. our 1986-built summer house (in RI, but i think its a style that was other places as well) had that style, we changed it to this:

    your uncased doorways have a modern vibe; so while i think square balusters are the best 'new england' look, i dont think they would suit your house.

    It's a very clean and simple design.....yes, probably from the 80s. The simplicity means it goes with New England traditions. Also, a true Yankee would never pull out a serviceable balustrade for any reason whatsoever. At most, it could be painted a neutral trim color, such as taupe. Keep it simple, a single color overall to avoid overdressing this dignified look. Coupled with white walls and taupe trim and woodwork throughout the house, it will be a perfect foil for 18th century furniture, China trade porcelain, hooked rugs, Shaker baskets, or whatever you have planned.
