Traditional stair and hallway railings can instantly date a home and look out of place with your desired interior aesthetic. Interior cable railing is the perfect solution to your design woes, as it looks great in nearly every aesthetic and can blend in or stand out depending on your interior design. Here are a few styles that are ideal for cable railings.
Modern
The sleek, metal lines of cable railing are well suited for minimalist, modern design and will blend well with glass, metal, and wooden features in your home. Adding a wooden top rail to the railing will soften the look while maintaining the sleek look. You could also add LED lighting along the railing for an extra dose of modern luxury.
Additionally, interior cable railing pairs well with modern farmhouses. Opt for lighter wood tones for the top railing and pair it with a dark metal base and posts. This combination will make your staircase look modern with a touch of rustic charm, perfect for the farm.
Contemporary
The openness of the interior cable railing makes it a perfect fit for contemporary homes with balconies that overlook main rooms. The open-feeling cable railing won’t interrupt tall ceilings, and homeowners can choose metal accessories to complement the finish of their cable railings.
Traditional
Many people would be surprised just how well cable railings pair with traditional-style homes. Pairing dark cherry wood with bronze posts and dark cable railing maintains the traditional feel of the room while providing safety and style. For an extra dose of class, you could include a custom newel post at the bottom of the stairs that mimics a traditional railing.
Whatever your interior style, cable railing is a perfect choice for your home’s interior and easy to install yourself. Contact SightLines to learn how to DIY new cable railing for your home!
