Staircase Remodel: Modern Floating Stairs – Artistic Stairs

A stunningly designed modern floating stairs remodel is not complete without a beautiful custom railing system. It is often the handrail design specifically that truly catches the eye and takes the stair system to a new level. Let’s explore three popular types of stair railing designs for a modern floating stairs staircase remodel: wrought iron, stainless steel, and cable rail.

Learn the highlights of each style and see inspirational photos for design ideas from past projects. As you consider a stair remodel for your next home project, consider these three striking railing design options for any type of residential stairs.

Floating Stair Railings for a Modern Floating Stairs Remodel

Wrought Iron Stair Railing

Undeniably extravagant, wrought iron railings offer limitless design options and are suitable for both straight and curved stairs and balconies. Our ornamental metal products are hand-forged in our facility by talented craftsmen. Powder coating provides a far more durable finish than less expensive painted products.

One of the top benefits of wrought iron is its versatility. From clean, modern styles to elaborate Tuscan scrolls, wrought iron can be forged to meet your space’s needs. Below, we feature a beautiful curved stair with a wooden rail and wrought iron balusters. The unique combination lends sophistication and warmth, a beautiful fit for this luxury home.

Stainless Steel Stair Railing

This metal lends sophistication and modern flair to a residential stair remodel. With contemporary clean lines and lasting durability, these railing systems are also highly versatile. Our innovative design team can bring your vision to life. Our featured stainless steel railing below is the perfect complement to its freestanding, open-riser “floating” stair. The clean lines of the steel rail mirror the stair’s unique shape and add to its contemporary flair. The bright silver contrasts beautifully with the dark wood treads and white stringers.

Cable Railing System

Also boasting clean lines and a sleek, modern look, cable rail can easily enhance any stair or balcony. A cable railing’s strength and durability create a perfect fit for any stair remodel, interior or exterior.

The project below illustrates cable rail’s ability to enhance homes of all styles. Paired with a wooden rail and newel posts, this cable rail system offers a contemporary flair.
