The architectural design of the railings is beautiful and works perfectly in a modern home. places like railings,” Salz-Smith says. The negative space creates an attractive silhouette and the black railings work really well with other stairacse components in light wood.

This bespoke staircase design is very modern. Not only do the solid wooden treads float but the glass panels in place of a conventional railing really amplifies the effect.
4. Industrial Black and White Staircase
The black and white railings in this staircase give the space an industrial look. The alternating white railings and white wooden stair components soften the design making it suitable for smaller homes. A traditional all black industrial railing may overpower the furnishings and decoration in a small hallway.
5. Open Tread Minimalist Staircase
This modern design uses light wood flooring and staircase components with a thin metal stair railing. The thin balustrades allow plenty of light to flow through them making them unobtrusive yet they contrast nicely with the light wall colour.

This traditional looking staircase has a solid wooden handrail that is offset by the ornate iron balustrades. The design would work well in larger spaces with plenty of light to make the spindles stand out.

Black metal spindles and dark wooden railings give a homely and family-friendly look to this staircase. It works well with a light decor and airy space.

9. White Iron Railings
This white painted wrought iron railing emphasises the airy space. Again the all-white decor creates a very spacious and open feel. Painting a traditional wrought iron staircase is an easy way to modernise it whilst marinating the original character.

In this staircase design the wooden slats allow some light to pass through but also hide the staircase. The warm colour of the slats reflects light back into the small living space giving it a more spacious feel.
