Update Your Home's Handrail System with a Modern Look, Just Like This Homeowner in Bound Brook, New Jersey!

For those of you who own a vintage home, you know that it comes with its own special quirks and character! You don't have to fully gut your home and rip it to the studs to update it! Preserving the unique details of a vintage home while acknowledging its history doesn't necessarily mean holding on to outdated features for posterity sake. You, too, can update your home's handrail system to a modern look.
There are plenty of ways to call back to original home details while giving them a modern twist. If you're looking for a handrail option that captures the vintage charm of your home's original architecture, while also giving a more modern flair? We've got just the thing!
This client opted to update their original vintage wrought iron railings with something a little more elevated. Combining this stunning stained red oak wood for warmth and richness with a modern update to the wrought iron was the perfect option!
These beautiful black metal twist balusters pay homage to the curved swoops of the original wrought iron design. The alternating single basket and single twist features add whimsy and charm to enhance the original character of the home without feeling dated. This railing was also installed in an over the post or continuous style for a more traditional edge of elegance. Overall, it brings a lovely, contemporary home update to the classic 1950s architecture this Bound Brook neighborhood is known for!
