Compared to natural wood, a grey staircase can add a contemporary feel to your home’s interior. Grey is an increasingly popular choice, as it complements almost all colour palettes, from muted neutrals to bold pops of colour. Whether you’re looking for a deep grey to create a dramatic statement or a subtle hint of pale greys, these are some of the best grey staircase ideas.
Wooden staircases needn’t look dated and traditional – they also work well in modern properties. And you’ll be amazed what a colour refresh can do! If you’re considering grey painted stairs, look to Neville Johnson for a choice of over 60 colours, helping you find the perfect shade.
Dark grey painted stairs make a striking feature in any hallway, especially when paired with unique balustrade designs in wood, glass or steel. You could also opt for a dark grey wood finish for a more natural appearance. Our Opus staircase below showcases our Concrete Condesa Decor finish on the treads; a wonderfully contemporary and bold design for those looking for something more dramatic!
Light grey staircases are perfect for narrow hallways with less natural light, keeping your space bright and airy. Glass panels or steel balustrades can add a modern touch and let more light into your home. This painted staircase features a very light neutral grey to complement the use of natural oak on the base rail, hand rail and newel post.
Once you’ve settled on the perfect shade for your new grey staircase, consider complementary colours for the rest of the space. Achieve a harmonious design by matching your staircase panelling to the grey wooden bannisters, or let the stairs do the talking with clean, white walls.
Introduce dark grey or black accents within your flooring, upholstery, wallpaper and staircase panelling to complement a grey staircase without overpowering the space. If you’ve chosen light grey stairs, why not bring some colour into your hallway with other bold tones like green, blue or pink?
Pairing two contrasting textures or materials in your staircase design can help achieve an ultra-modern aesthetic. Choose from wood, glass and steel, depending on your preference.
For an industrial feel, consider a steel staircase with glass panels. The subtle hint of grey from the steel will give your space a modern edge, while glass keeps your hallway looking bright. Alternatively, an entire steel staircase with intricate balustrade designs or symmetrical spindles can be equally stylish and eye-catching.
If you live in a period property, you can still retain some of your home’s original character and introduce a modern twist. Wood and glass staircases strike a balance between traditional and contemporary, thanks to the contrasting textures of the two materials.
At Neville Johnson, we create bespoke, made-to-measure staircases for your home. Choose your preferred material painted in a perfect shade of grey to complement your interiors. Our expert designers can help you choose a colour that will elevate your hallway. Then, our craftspeople will build your unique staircase and ensure the paint finish is flawless.

From the initial contact with the company to the completion and installation everything was utterly professional; we have no hesitation in recommending the company to anybody. We are so pleased, that Neville Johnson is returning to install a new staircase!
Mr and Mrs Thorpe, Radcliffe
I cannot recommend this company enough. From first contact we received very high quality service. We were informed as to everything that was going on, which was backed up by the necessary paperwork, plans and phone calls. The fitter was competent and the work he did we can’t fault.
Mrs K Holroyd, Wrexham
From our initial enquiry to the completion of our staircase, we have found all the members of the team at Neville Johnson to be very helpful, courteous and professional in all our dealings. The staircase has transformed our living space. We have been very impressed with this company from start to finish and would not hesitate to recommend them.
Pauline Treston, Northumberland
A real easy process, I would really recommend Neville Johnson to anyone. From the first phone call through to a very skilled fitter (who had to go above and beyond with our old house not having one straight line in it) it was all so easy. We couldn’t be happier that we chose to use Neville Johnson.
Richard Smith, Surrey
From contacting the company to the point where the cupboards were fitted I was impressed by the whole process. The initial salesperson that visited was knowledgeable and helpful. I would certainly use Neville Johnson again and highly recommend this company.
Mrs S. D, Lincolnshire
The room is transformed and has been hugely admired by family and friends. I was pleasantly surprised by the attentive and courteous client care – everything went according to plan and nothing seemed too much trouble. They were in regular contact before and after the installation. I would highly recommend Neville Johnson to anyone wanting to transform a room.
Cherry Murdoch, London
Our new staircase looks fantastic. We’ve had lots of compliments and it has transformed our hallway. The whole experience was great from beginning to end, from discussing our requirements to the finished article.
Mr & Mrs Begbie, Hampshire
From the moment the brochure was delivered, I was optimistic that we were buying quality. I wasn’t disappointed. All contact made was courteous, polite and clear, with phone calls confirmed by email. In short, we’re really thrilled with our library and it was effortless from start to finish.
Alison Cole, Swinton
From the outset of our contract with Neville Johnson, we were supported with design choices, given expert advice and all deadlines were met. Everyone was courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. The craftsmanship is superb; our staircase is now an outstanding feature of our open plan lounge.
Judith Scorer, Stockport
From the initial meeting with the senior designer to discuss our needs, to the surveyor and then the installer, we were extremely delighted with the end result. The installation process went without any problems. All the staff were very professional and we would recommend Neville Johnson without hesitation.
