These railings are all custom made to your measurements. They can be built to fit any conditions, even joined to round logs with intricate joinery and used as a stair railing outdoors.

Wood Banisters
This is a cool picture of wood banisters that looks wavy and not straight like every other stair railing that you see. This banister follows the steps, so for each step up, the railing moves up. The angle and flat portions give it a sense of movement, depth and motion unlike any other that you’ve seen.
Stainless steel banister
This is an interior banister for a stair railing design going down to the basement in a residence but this stainless steel banister would also work really well outside. The special part of this banister is what you don’t see; this architect from Dallas designed the mounting bracket for the banister under the sheetrock so that it is hidden. This gives this banister a nice clean line and a modern aesthetic.

Railing Design and Door
This interesting picture caught my eye as being both of a work of art and a rugged metal railing. The picture just serves as a reminder that architects will always be coming up with new and innovative deck railing designs along with all other forms of handrails.
This railing takes a different approach in joining two sections together. It has a knob that looks different from traditional handrails and gives the railing a structural elegance without losing its artistic flare.
Deck Railing Designs
There are so many different deck railing designs to choose from that it can be hard to make a decision. It’s important to start the design process early and gather all kinds of information on what kind of decor and design you will want in your home. Picking your handrail design will be an important part of the project to make sure to impress neighbors and those that look at your house. A stunning deck railing design will WOW your neighbors and add to your home’s curb appeal and overall value.
Metal railing is an interesting choice depending on a home’s architecture. Architectural style will determine so many factors and working together with a design professional is sure to produce the kind of results that you are looking for. Stainless steel cable railings are generally made with braided stainless steel wires that are fastened to wood posts. There are special connectors and tools involved in this installation. Metal cable rails are a good choice for modern architecture that emphasizes concrete and glass in the structure and aesthetic of a home or building.
Glass balusters are a good choice when you want to eliminate the distinction between the deck and the surrounding area. This deck railing design, along with solid glass panels, is a good choice when you want to emphasize the view from the deck and interfere with it as minimally as possible. Full height and width glass panels can also be nice in a mountain home to shield guests on the deck from some of the harsher elements.
Wood railing designs range from common and everyday to creative and extraordinary. Skilled carpenters can create masterpieces in wood that are memorable to all those who view them. Woodwork is a form of expression that is really a visual art. Although wood is common and can be lackluster, in the hands of a professional carpenter wood can be transformed into glowing artwork.

I’ve shared lots of pictures of railings at sunset or sunrise or with the light just so. and of course plenty of Mountain Laurel Handrail.
But this is the first pic I’ve shared of a cat on a handrail.
