Ideas for banisters and railings

White-and-Wood Stairway

For conventional-style dwellings, the tightly tailored appearance of a classic white-and-wood-tone stairwell is frequently the most suitable choice. Here, a stringer and simple square baluster uprights are perked up with a natural wood handrail and treads.

Shipshape Silhouette

Contemporary homes gain from stairways and stair railings that sport sharp, clean lines. You won't find a more streamlined railing than this structure constructed of cheap lumber stained dark grey. The short length of the railing needs just two posts to support its bridge in the beginning stair to the upper wall. Safety is ensured by plexiglass installed between the railing along with the stairs without detracting from the minimalist look.

Pleasing and Practical

Stair railings must be tough constructions that ensure safe journeys. This enchanting layout has every possible and step risk insured.

Traditional Turn

Proper foyers call for elegant stairways equipped with stair railings that are delicately detailed. This railing, which boasts a black- classically contoured white balusters and painted handrail, takes a fascinating turn at the start. The handrail wrappings to the right (a right-hand volute in stair speak) around the stairway's first step and is supported by balusters as well as a black newel post that adds weight to the stairs's entry point.

Theatrical Installation

As they ascend from landing, along with the stairway, this steel balustrade bends with all the design of a ship's railings. Horizontally set balusters going beyond the posts add artistic dimension, perfectly in sync with the getting form in the stairway. Glass stair risers allow light to reflect in the multistory stairwell.
