Interior Iris Staircase

  Here is an idea for those who want to upgrade their staircase.  This client had a home built in the 1980′s with a traditional wood stair rail and wood balusters that went into the treads.  In some cases I have had clients  renovate the treads by removing and replacing them.  In this case the homeowner had the holes filled with oak dowels that matched the treads and then re-finished the treads.  One goal was to open up the foyer for a more spacious look.  A thinner baluster was chosen  (1/4 inch square solid steel) with steel top and bottom rail.  This is a good example of what many of my clients want in design, a simple rail with a custom forged center piece to draw attention. In this way a unique look can be obtained without over building the space.

The custom forged Iris was chosen for the center piece with a copper flower top.  I had the entire rail powder coated and the homeowner choose “Spartan Bronze” for the color.

                                                                                                        

  Many different designs can be incorporated into a rail of this style.  I hope this gives some idea of the possibilities for your  stair rail renovation or new installation.
