Do you mean balusters? (between railings and base) If you have turned balusters (as opposed to just straight ones) don't update them, turned balusters are valuable. Are they wood or metal/iron?

Hi MaryKay,

What do they look like now? Are they wood or painted? Here are a few ideas that might help. Just remember that what is updated today, will be "out" tomorrow. I'd suggest something classic. Wishing you the best.

If unpainted, just paint.

Painting them can make them look a lot better. You can also replace them with a shape you like better or even wrought iron.
