Case Study: Stair + Railing Makeover in Morris Plains, NJ
Before: Old Broken Stairs + Railings
The original staircase was burdened with dark wood treads and railings, which, while aiming for a classic look, ended up not matching the floor and contributing to a more enclosed feel within the home.

After: Elegant Wood + Metal Railing
The transformation brought a new level of elegance and refinement to the staircase. The decorative metal balusters became the focal point, with their intricate ribbon and basket details adding depth and visual interest. The combination of ornate metalwork with rich wood tones gave the space a sophisticated yet timeless appeal.
​
Beyond aesthetics, this railing system was designed with durability and stability in mind, ensuring long-lasting function while enhancing the home’s architectural presence. The new railing not only elevates the interior but also serves as a stunning centerpiece that blends artistry with craftsmanship.
This project is a perfect example of how ornate metal balusters can completely transform a staircase, adding a touch of grandeur while maintaining everyday practicality. The homeowners now have a railing system that is both striking and enduring, creating a beautiful balance of sophistication and strength.
Before: Traditional All-Wood Railing
The original railing in this home featured a classic all-wood design with traditional posts and primed white balusters. While timeless, the homeowners were ready for an update that would better align with their modern interior. They wanted a sleek, contemporary look that would open up the space while maintaining the warmth and durability of wood.
​
Our Approach:
To bring their vision to life, we installed a modern horizontal railing system featuring satin black metal bars, a modern T rail, and simple wood posts. This combination provided a clean, minimalist aesthetic while still offering the strength and durability needed for a high-traffic staircase. The horizontal metal bars created a bold architectural statement, while the warm wood elements kept the design balanced and cohesive with the home’s interior.

The clean lines of the railing created a more expansive feel, allowing for better light flow and a seamless connection between floors.

This railing system not only modernized the staircase but also provided enhanced durability and structural stability. The combination of wood and metal strikes the perfect balance between warmth and sleek modernity, making this staircase a true focal point in the home.
