Updating your stairway can make a huge impact on your home. Whether you're just moving in, looking to sell, or planning to stay forever, this simple switch can rejuvenate your whole space. It's more than redecorating – it's making permanent improvements to your home.
Here are a few of our favorite before and after iron baluster transformations:
**Upgrade Wood Balusters**
We’ve seen time and time again the difference trading wood for iron balusters can make. These homeowners swapped light wood balusters for a mix of straight and single knuckle iron balusters. It’s an instant facelift! The space looks modern and fresh with intentionally subtle details.

**Carpets Be Gone**
The biggest factor in dated stairs? Ragged, dull carpets. Luckily, removing carpets is a fast and simple way to completely change the look of your stairway. This transformation is stunning. Red oak box newels, handrail, and treads pop against satin black iron balusters. Shoes on the tops and bottoms of these Twist Series baluster provide a clean, uniform look.
