Stair railings are a prominent feature in many of the homes we build here at Collins Builders. Choosing the right style for your custom home<\/a> can make a large design impact in all the formal areas. There are 3 main components to the railings: the newel posts, the balusters, and the handrail. Each of these come in several different styles and materials and can be mixed to create a unique staircase that reflects your style. Often, we start with the balusters and then add in the newel post and handrail to complement them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Wood Balusters<\/strong>
Wood balusters come in two main styles, pintop and square. Pintop balusters can be finished with a stain or paint, and are smaller at the top than at the bottom. These balusters work well for a traditional design <\/a>scheme, and the pairing of crisp white balusters with a stained newel post is timeless. We recommend choosing a stain for the handrail as well to highlight the design and provide contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Square balusters can also be stained or painted, but are usually finished with paint. These balusters have a uniform width from top to bottom and provide a clean line to the stairs. Coastal, modern, or farmhouse styles<\/a> all work well with the square balusters. Choose a complementary square newel post that further accents your scheme. For a modern style, choose a sleek, unadorned shape, where coastal or farmhouse styles benefit from a newel with additional moldings. A white-painted newel contrasted with a stained handrail completes the look. For a more modern look, try a bold black paint or ebony stain on the newel post and handrail to give high contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Iron Balusters<\/strong>
Wrought iron balusters come in a huge variety of styles and shapes. We often mix at least 2 styles of iron balusters together to provide a truly customized staircase. Choose an oval style with a straight baluster for a unique, modern look; or a twisted basket style for an Old World or Mediterranean home. Iron balusters work best with a stained handrail and newel posts but choose a newel that complements your design. The more ornate your balusters, the less additional trim the newel posts need, instead focus on the overall shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cable Railing<\/strong>
Cable railing is often seen on exteriors, but on an interior staircase, it can make quite a statement. Instead of balusters, the stairs have a series of horizontal cables. These can be mixed with either an iron or wood newel and handrail and can fit in almost any design scheme. For a farmhouse look, choose a stained newel and handrail for warmth, and consider adding an X pattern on the outside of the cables for more charm. Cable railing blends beautifully in a modern style as the clean lines and sleek shapes complement the other design choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whatever your design style, the staircase is a major part of it. With all the options available, it’s easier than ever to create a staircase that reflects your personal tastes and adds a statement to your custom home. Whether you want a modern farmhouse or a timeless traditional look, we can help you pick the right combination of balusters, newels, and handrails that can bring it to life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
