Stained railing with newel post options

I need to determine what type of lower newel post to use in the foyer. This one on the left is a Houseworks rounded newel post. It does follow the rounded form of the spindles to a certain extent, but I'm not sure I like it. It seems too dollhouse-like.

The right-hand one is the square newel post that came with the narrow stairs kit. I like it because of its heavy visual weight. It also seems more appropriate for the general décor.

Thoughts? :D

Whichever one I choose, I will stain it English Chestnut to match the floor and railing. I think painting it Vintage White would make it stand out too much since it is a sizeable piece.

I'll chime in!

I like the square post. I am using that style in my Garfield and I like the heaviness of the post and it doesn't look "dollhouse-like".

Even before I read your comment, I thought the same thing about the rounded newel post. While the spindles are rounded, the two doors have rectangular panels, so I think the square one looks great.
