Design Options for Personalizing Cable Railing

Just as your personal choices influence and define your home's furnishings and aesthetic, you also can personalize cable railing. Does wood handrail appeal to you over metal? If so, you can easily install wood railing with a cable system. Maybe you prefer posts with a custom powder-coated finish over brushed stainless steel. No problem!

Personalize your cable railing by mixing materials to create a unique custom design. For example, a contemporary urban home would look stunning with black matte posts, handrail, and steel cables. Wood posts with stainless steel cables can be the ideal mix to enhance wood details on a mountain home. Read on to find out how to personalize your cable railing with handrail, color options, various post materials, and more. 

Custom Handrail Choices

Handrails are critically important to cable railing because they affect the style and safety of the railing. We're happy to help you personalize your handrail by offering a variety of materials. Wood will provide a warm, smooth feeling, or you may prefer the cool hard feel of metal.

Wood handrail can be stained, painted, or left in its natural state to match or contrast with other design elements around your home. Aluminum can be powder coated in a color of your choice. Stainless steel provides a sleek, modern look. Tying in your handrail material with other features such as roofing, window frames, or siding colors can create personalized cable railing that will be unique to your home.  

Post Design and Finishing Touches

Custom cable railing posts will significantly alter the look of a cable railing system. For a truly personalized look, choose posts that elevate your home's design.

Elegant black matte metal posts enhance a modern home whereas the warmth of wood posts can coordinate beautifully with traditional or rustic architecture. Colored finishes are a great way to tie in your cable railing with other colors and design elements of your home. 

Post types give you additional design flexibility. Posts can be side-mounted or top-mounted. Side-mounted posts typically are fixed to the side of a deck or terrace, creating an ultra-clean look on the surface of the structure. Ideal for any project, top-mounted posts sit on top of the decking.

Unique Color Finishes for Cable Railing Posts and Hardware

Choosing post and hardware color finishes is a terrific way to personalize the look of your railing system. Aluminum posts can be powder-coated in an almost limitless range of colors to match your home's featured hues. And choosing custom hardware finishes that blend in with your home's architecture adds another layer of personalization.

As you consider color options, if you want a classic, understated look, aim for more subdued or neutral tones. For a striking, modern appearance, go with bold colors. You can also personalize your railing colors by considering the natural elements around your home. Tones of blue will blend in beautifully against the ocean and sky, while dark green will disappear into the surrounding forest. Tones in bronze and copper will transition right into surrounding desert soils.
