How to Spice Up Your Home’s Interior Railings

While the railings in your home serve a very specific and valuable function – protecting you, your family, and your guests – there is no reason to overlook their aesthetic possibilities. Here are a few suggestions on how to spice up your interior railings:

• Create Themed Spindles – If you are decorating a beach or lake house, consider adding custom-made spindles shaped like nautical items such as oars, ships, or even seagulls. These additions create a lot of visual interest on a stairwell.

• Throw in a Curve – Modern decors are a great place to add a little non-linear appeal. A repeating series of curved spindles provides visual appeal and the individual spindles can even be stained or painted in a non-traditional way.

• Add Metal for a Change – Metal railings offer a completely different look as they can be designed and manufactured in great variety and in a number of differently colored metals.
