This horizontal rope railing idea is ideal for a coastal cottage or lakefront retreat! The light and airy design features thick twine stretching across white tapered posts, which gives the loft and staircase on open and breezy nautical feel.

Heart Jigsaw Balusters

Heart jigsaw balusters welcome this cozy nook with charm and character. Tightly spaced balusters adorn the rail sections with tear drop cut-outs on the top followed by lovely hearts. The railings pair perfectly with other wooden architectural elements in the interior.

Graceful Jigsaw Baluster Railing

Turned balusters with a twist! This graceful jigsaw baluster railing is an interesting example of artwork made from flat-sawn boards. Teasing the eye, the balusters look like turned spindles, while the negative space seemingly appears as elegant  curves.

Glass Panel Railing with Etched Design

Instead of plain glass balusters the homeowner chose a glass panel railing with etched design to enliven the large and open staircase. The design with sprays of white topped with a set of metal handrails lends an artistic look to the modern interior.

Horizontal Wood 1×2 Slate Privacy Handrail

With its forward-looking appearance, the horizontal wood 1×2 slate privacy handrail is as beautiful as it is functional. Several sleek slates closely line each section joined by square newel posts and a cedar handrail spanning the length of the deck.

Horizontal Board Pipe Railing

The horizontal board pipe railing bursts with eye-catching surprises. Instead of vertically placed balusters, boards run across the rail horizontally in varying widths. Add the pipe in between each wooden board for a look that’s a little bit country mixed with contemporary!

Circular Front Porch Sawn Balusters

Popping with color and delightful ornamentation these circular front porch sawn balusters lend an arts and crafts look to an otherwise traditional Victorian-style home.  Three unique circular patterns complete each baluster and tightly fill the railing section to perk up the porch.

Frosted Glass Panel Handrail

The frosted glass panel handrail provides a translucent view on the side of the deck offering some solitude between closely spaced homes.  The thin profile of the metal rails and posts work well with glass balusters when enclosing a contemporary-style exterior.

Frosted Glass Commercial Space Patio Handrails

Unlike most glass balusters that are transparent, these frosted glass commercial space patio handrails add a hint of privacy making them perfect for pool areas. The thin metal rails and posts also lend an industrial look to the outdoor space.

Front Porch Sawn Balusters

The front porch sawn balusters and purple paint on the rails give this Victorian-style home a personalized appearance. Note how the ovals displayed in the negative space are as ornate as the balusters themselves.
