Traditional Vs. Modern Stair Railings

There are a lot of homeowners who admittedly face this dilemma when choosing their home decor such as stair railings: traditional or modern? Most of them would go for traditional because the designs can stand the test of time. The others go for the modern ones, as they are the kind who want to be more relevant with the contemporaries.

Now don’t fret, this dilemma may be eased in no time. First you have to determine what’s the use of the entire space. Is it a residential space? Is it an office space? These things cover the basic themes so you’ll have an idea if you’re better off with the traditional styles or the modern ones.

Once you have that done, answer this question: What is the kind of impression that you want to give? It’s not enough that you know whether it is a residential space or an office space. You also have to determine  the entire aura of the environment your staircase is at. Is it traditional-looking or is it more modern looking? What are the materials that surround it? What is the room’s “general look”? Your stair railings need to be faithful to the theme of the entire space so that it won’t look like a sore thumb.

Here’s a quick tip: for those who are not fond of changing styles, go with traditional, if you’re not, then go for modern. Just remember that your stair railings have to be made of strong material; something for long term.
