I have a seventies staircase that I would like to make more modern. I changed to oak steps a few years ago and painted the rest white. I have tried through construction companies and some staircase companies to find a new solution for the railing, but it is difficult to get a somewhat simple solution for the existing staircase.
Wondering if anyone has a solution for new handrails both against the wall and the staircase railing. Considering possibly replacing with oak rod against the wall and placing a handrail on top of the railing. The whole solution feels heavy in our hallway.
The idea is to keep the basic staircase with oak steps.
Thinking about repainting the railing and stringer as well as the nearby panel, feel free to suggest colors if you have any.

Hello
In our previous house, we had a straight 70s staircase with balusters/spindles in unfinished wood that extended from the ceiling down to the stringer, not all the way to the floor like yours.
I bought ready-made wooden balusters that were painted white and fittings in oak or beech as a kit from Hornbach. Because I had to extend from the upstairs wall, I mounted the balusters on the inside of the stringer. As longitudinal reinforcement for the balusters, I used a suitably thick piece of wood to jigsaw triangles to attach to the inside of the stringer. The stringer was painted white, and the advantage was that the stringer was not disturbed by any balusters that would be attached on the outside. There was one baluster per step, which is actually too far apart. On the wall side, a round handrail also in oak or beech was mounted.
I am fairly satisfied myself, but many thought the modernization turned out well.
