We are a large active family (7)with two dogs. Recently put down laminate flooring and painted walls, but not sure about stairs and rails.
This is what we see when we open our front door
Photo not true to color, although shade or tone is correct-it is a light grey(no beige undertone). Dolphin fin by Behr
The walls are a light gray, with white trim. Those colors are also in the kitchen, which is where i Took the picture from.
The grey color on top floor wall is actually the same along the stair wall. The stair trim is dark grey.
Front door is a darker, contrasting gray

Defends on the wall color, we have to base it there, because by just painting it whatever color you want, might not look good, it should be at least closer or shall I say will not look awkward from the wall paint. From what I saw on your picture (not sure), it’s completely different when you see the actual color than by just basing it on the picture, I suggest, light brown or a shade of cream/beige color. If you decide to paint it dark color, dirty or dust is noticeable right away. -

I think your rails and baseboards etc would look lovely a deeper gray than the walls in the living room. Risers and spindles white. -

Yes your walls looked like cream/beige color, for me, just a suggestion, I will paint the rails a little darker than your walls and the stairs, the deeper grey color, at least it will all look like one tone (shade-grey). Pls let me know if you agree on my suggestion. -

Dark gray for stairs and railings... IMO I don't think you have the type of railing that would look right 2 toned. I think dark gray would look modern like your style of railing.I had natural wood like you and painted it white as per a designer's recommendation...big mistake! It always looked dirty or worn, despite trying different paints, and cleaning it all the time.- See 1 previous
