Stair Handrail.I hate it!

No you not BU - he is

When I had to gave an extra handrail put up to help me use the stairs safely, I chose a ‘pigs ear’ handrail and got a local carpenter to fit it. It was then painted the same colour as the wall and looks great

Oh God. Some men and decor. Most of them haven't a clue. They find decorative cushions bewildering for a start.

I think people sometimes do these things deliberately because they know it will spark a reaction. Surely, it’s best to strike a compromise with decor, furnishings etc. when individuals tastes conflict.

When I needed an extra handrail fitted up the stairs my husband asked if I was bothered about the colour . I said no he spoke to the people who powder coated the handrails they had a piece long enough it was brown and gave it my husband for free. Same with the handrails in the garden they where bright blue . I go for useful not pretty.

Like my ramp the council supplied. I call it industrial chic as it made from scaffold poles,metal plates and metal open grid flooring . It didn't cost me anything . But has helped me .

Not just men- I can't abide decorative cushions, or any cushions for that matter.

What do you rest your weary head upon kq?

I was thinking of getting a handrail but I'm sure DH will say it's a good idea, he'll contact someone who will come and put in some grey metal thing like scaffolding,

I want a wooden one that looks good as well as being functional.

My dh put up a hand rail in my mums hallway . He just bought some wooden ones and painted them white , which my mum wanted

Ooh that looks lovely , clean looking .

Beebaaboo .
Tell him that is wrong. If he likes Scandi stuff, a black metal handrail is just wrong. We live in a Scandi Hus….everything is wood.

I love that. I hate my handrail so will look into replacing it with that one.

I like it too,it looks good

I like the 'pigs ear' one too. Plain but nice enough to fit with any decor. A black tube would look awful.

How about a rope? one of those red/crimson plaited ropes
used in cinemas and outside clubs, through brass rings top middle bottom.
I can’t send a picture as it is in my colleague’s cottage, old oak beams, oak stairscase, bright white walls and a scarlet rope, looks dramatic, unexpected, stylish, practical.
She said her hand slipped on a wooden rail but a rope steadies her ascent and descent.

Pillows!

That looks really clean and fresh, I like how the handrail, stairs, picture frames and front door are all the same colour. Is that your actual home? I wonder because you said you had the handrail painted to match the walls. Maybe it was before it was painted. Looks lovely anyway.

It's a B&Q advert for a pine handrail.

Other handrails available!

Your stairs look great Tuliptree.

It was usually the cost that decided us. I would want a beautiful handmade piece of furniture but knew we couldn't afford it so thankfully IKEA was the compromise or the auction house, or Freecycle.

I vaguely wonder what I'll do if and when I downsize and have to start designing rooms on my own.

I do think your DH is BU. You should ask him to take it away and choose one together that you both like.

Is it really Allira It fooled me. 😟

Tuliptree's stairs could look exactly the same, though!

Looking at that one, I need a new carpet. Or house.

Lol!! Silly me. I'm sure Tuliptree's looks just as good 👍
