Contemporary Wrought Iron Stair Railing in Long Grove

Long Grove leans toward larger, newer homes, and on a lot of them the staircase sits right in the entry where everyone sees it. This contemporary interior railing is square bar painted black, built to read clean and current without pulling attention off the rest of the room.

Square bar is the workhorse of a contemporary look. The lines are crisp, the profile is narrow, and from a few feet away the railing reads as a run of straight verticals rather than a busy barrier. That suits an open first floor, where you want the railing doing its job along the stairs without chopping up the sightlines into the next room.

Indoors we paint rather than powder coat, and that is on purpose. Powder coat earns its keep outside; inside, the weather resistance does nothing for you, while paint gives you something powder coat can’t, which is an easy touch-up if the railing ever gets nicked. We prime first, then finish in black, so the color stays even. The wrought iron is templated to the actual staircase on site, because stairs are rarely as square as the drawings claim.

If your staircase is the first thing people see when they walk in and the railing isn’t pulling its weight, that is worth a conversation. Give Signature Metal Works a call and we will walk through it.
