Choosing the Perfect Handrail for Your Staircase in California
Style Meets Function
In California homes — where design often blends modern elegance with laid-back comfort — the right handrail can make all the difference. Whether you want a bold statement piece or something sleek and understated, your handrail plays a key role in tying your staircase (and space) together.
We offer both round and square handrails to match your interior style:
- Round handrails offer a softer, classic feel — great for traditional or transitional homes.
- Square handrails create a clean, angular look that’s ideal for modern and minimalist interiors.
Wood or Metal? Choose What Fits Your Space
In California’s diverse homes — from coastal bungalows to urban lofts — handrail materials should match both your lifestyle and aesthetic.
- Wood handrails bring natural warmth and character. They're perfect for creating a welcoming, organic vibe and pair beautifully with both rustic and contemporary designs. Think oak, walnut, or ash, finished to match your space. Wood handrails bring natural warmth and character.
- Metal handrails offer a sleek, modern edge. They're durable, low-maintenance, and work well in minimalist or industrial style homes- especially when paired with glaoting or open riser stairs.
Tailored for California Living
Every home is different — and your staircase should reflect that. Whether you're designing for a Malibu modern, a Palm Springs mid-century, or a Bay Area urban loft, we help you customise every detail.
From smooth, sculptural wood to bold architectural metalwork, our handrails are designed to enhance your staircase while complementing California’s unique design culture.
Mixing Handrail Materials
When planning your staircase, don’t be afraid to mix materials if you’re drawn to both traditional and modern styles. For example, a wooden staircase can be paired with a sleek metal or glass handrail to create a balanced and visually striking contrast.
Using metal or glass for the handrail introduces a contemporary edge while still allowing the warmth of timber treads or stringers to shine. This combination can also be extended to other features, like under-stair detailing, helping to seamlessly tie together classic and modern design elements.
