Builders, architects, and designers seeking options for unique, contemporary handrails may want to consider highly versatile cable railings. Cable railing systems offer a modern, sleek look to stairs and balconies. Cable is highly durable and a popular choice for both interior and exterior projects.
This week, we share some of our past cable railing system project photos for ideas of the versatility and aesthetics associated with the design element.
Wood Handrails and Cable Railings Gives Rustic Sophistication
Many customers love systems that pair cable railing with wood handrails and newels. A stainless steel cable railing combines with beautifully stained wood to lend a unique feel – rustic warmth balanced by contemporary clean lines.
In the first project photo below, dark treads and white paint-grade risers create a stunning look. The staircase system is further enhanced by the beautiful stacked stone accent wall. The cable rail system is understated yet attractive, allowing the bold treads and stones to serve as focal points.
Next, another wood and horizontal cable railing system makes a statement in its residence. The open riser construction showcases the beautiful wood grain components from all angles. Plus, the cable rail enhances the stair’s modern structure, offering unobstructed views.
Stainless Steel and Cable Railing Gives Sleek, Modern Style
Our next cable rail design pairing is stainless steel. Like wood, steel can be combined with a cable rail system to offer aesthetic appeal and high quality. This contemporary combination is an excellent choice for a modern home or commercial space.
The project below illustrates the ability of a stainless steel and cable rail system to offer a sleek, minimalist look. The system fits this residential staircase well, offering a light balance to the hardwood floors and matching treads.

As mentioned above, cable railings are an excellent design material for both interior and exterior projects. With strength and durability, our cable railing systems are built to withstand the elements.
