Who said steel railings are only horizontal or vertical lines? You can get customised geometric patterns in the infills, adding another dimension to your stairway. They create amazing illusions in different angles and are a safe way to experiment without going all out.
Glacier panels are a very popular steel railing design for stairs. It is known for offering a more precise view than cable railing systems. It is usually fitted with glass infills and creates the illusion of a bigger space. It is the best choice for smaller, tightly packed rooms or places with low visibility. Combine them with LED lights to maximise the impact.
If you want to add some fun and quirky colours to your railings, there is a lot of scope for that. You can have painted balusters, frosted and stained glass, and other options. Steel railings do not have to be monotonous; you can bring in colours as well.
