Painting stairs cream

9 years ago

We are currenly putting a new redwood staircase in our house. I would like to paint the staircase cream but have been advised that it is very hard to keep the staircase clean when it is cream and small marks show up very easily. Anybody any advise? Is there special paint you can get that is easier to keep?

Thanks in advance

We painted our steps cream in our old house. Scuff marks showed all the time! Tried painting risers a darker color ....helped but still saw scuff marks so finally ended up putting stair runner over cream stairs. That solved the problem but had to vacuum runner quite a bit.

Who would paint redwood???? That's a total sin against the wood gods. Don't waste money on a premium upgraded wood like that if you want paint. Go with cheap paint grade poplar for half the price. And don't do cream paint to walk on unless you want to repaint every 6 months.

I would try to find a carpet to make the darkest shade in the wallpaper pattern like a mushroom color. Cream white gets dirty and stairs are heavily trafficked.

I would still do an island. You have the space. I hate having my stove against the wall. You get boxed in and forget about two people working at once. How about stove in island, fridge all the way down to the right? You don't want the fridge to interrupt work space. You will end up w two too-small spaces instead of one nice functional one. We had an island with a downdraft Jenn-air stove-worked quite well for most needs.

Hi, I have pine wood stairs, skirting, doors and architrave and I'm looking for some nice ideas to brighten it all up without painting the architrave , skirting and doors. That would be too much of a big job. I thought maybe cream for the walls but I'd like some bolder ideas and maybe the same cream on the instep of the stairs. Don't really know how to proceed. I'd like to show off the pine to its best. Also, it's a 3 bed bungalow so not a big mansion place, should fit the style of the house. I like a bit of black too and colour. What about pictures? Are they a bad idea? Thank you
