Railing stain vs paint

5 years ago

I recently moved into a home with a unique staircase featuring red oak hardwood flooring with a runner and dark grey handrail. I thought this was bold and unique but am wondering if the railing should instead match the hardwood? The previous owners painted to give the staircase a more modern, transitional feel. I would hate to lose that if I did stain. I would also definitely leave the spindles white. (Please try to ignore the tacky child gate!)
