​Your Home's Crown Jewel and How to Make It Shine
The Staircase
​When guests enter your home, their eyes naturally gravitate towards one architectural feature above all others—the staircase. This magnificent centrepiece doesn't merely connect floors; it sets the tone for your entire interior design scheme and speaks volumes about your taste and attention to detail.
​Why Your Staircase Deserves Star Treatment
A staircase is far more than a functional necessity. It's a sculptural element that commands attention, creates visual flow, and often serves as the first impression visitors have of your home's character. Whether you've inherited a tired Victorian banister or installed a contemporary timber design, the finish you choose can transform this focal feature from mundane to magnificent.
The beauty of a well-crafted staircase lies not just in its structure, but in the artistry of its finish. This is where traditional French polishing meets modern innovation—and where Boyle's French Polishers truly excel.
Pioneering Bespoke
Colour Techniques
If you're seeking a beautiful bespoke coloured timber handrail or staircase, colour created and French polished by the UK's leading French polishing company who developed this revolutionary modern technique, you've come to the right place. At Boyle's French Polishers, we've perfected the art of creating stunning, customised finishes that reflect your unique vision whilst maintaining the integrity of traditional craftsmanship.
Our innovative approach allows us to create virtually any colour palette you can imagine:
Pastel Perfection
Soft, dreamy hues that bring a sense of calm and sophistication to your home. Perfect for contemporary interiors seeking a gentle, refined touch.
Autumnal Warmth
Rich amber, deep burgundy, and golden bronze tones that create a cosy, welcoming atmosphere reminiscent of crisp autumn days.
Earthy Elegance
Natural tones inspired by the British countryside—sage greens, warm terracottas, and deep forest hues that bring the outdoors in.
Retro Revival
Bold, nostalgic colours that celebrate bygone eras, from mid-century mustards to Art Deco emeralds.
Cyberpunk Edge
For the truly adventurous, electric blues, neon purples, and metallic finishes that make a striking contemporary statement.
Historical Heritage
Traditional colours that honour period properties—deep mahogany, classic ebony, and heritage oak tones that respect architectural history.
​
Three Distinct Finish Options
We can create the essences of your senses and discover a beautiful creation through three signature finish techniques:
Semi-Transparent Finish
This subtle and transparent finish enhances the natural grain, giving a more organic look that celebrates the timber's inherent beauty whilst adding your chosen colour palette. It's perfect for those who want colour with character.
Patina Finish
Our patina technique creates a more distressed, aged finish—an excellent choice for trendy cocktail bars and quirky retail shops, but equally stunning in residential settings seeking that lived-in, authentic charm.
Solid Block Colour
For those who prefer bold, uncompromising colour statements, our solid block finish delivers rich, even coverage that transforms your staircase into a true design feature.
