In modern interiors, we often choose not to install railings. Over time, however, for safety reasons, we decide that they are essential in our homes. For tiny children or the elderly, they can be an aid to climbing even a few steps.

1. old-fashioned, not necessarily unfashionable
Beautiful balustrades on staircases, are an asset especially in older houses. As long as they are made of solid wood or other easily renovated materials, their value increases dramatically. If you already have a wooden or metal balustrade in your home that seems old-fashioned and uninteresting to you, you may only need to change its color to make it a beautiful and functional decoration.

3. traditional design
If the style in which the house is designed is based on tradition, a rustic wooden railing will be suitable here. The simplicity of the railing's design is varied by a distinctive finish, grain and deep wood shade.

5. staircase balustrade inspired by nature
We have already shown more than once how much inspiration can be drawn from nature not only when painting walls. This time it can also be a staircase balustrade, which is made of natural wood, but the branch-shaped rungs give the stairs a soft, organic look. The interesting design of the balustrade suits a rustic interior.

This beautiful balustrade optically enlarges the interior. Thanks to the material used - wood- it also brings a warm atmosphere to the interiors. Here you can install a handrail or leave only the slats to protect against falls from heights.
