Any advice would b great

Yeah, i think i will actually go with the stainless steel rail as I am now thinking if I do go ahead with the wooden rail it will take the look away from the floating stairs - am trying to visualize it here :)

lol Lesley!!!

The hand rail will be on the glass side attached to the glass, not on the wall.

I need to decide in the next few days...Yesterday i was going with the stainless steel rail, but today my heart says do the wooden rail....arghhhhhh!!!!

I really like the pic that LesleyH posted. The wooden rail will be 'warmer' to the touch too, show less dirt and tie is with the stairs beautifully.....I thin it will 'ground' the whole look because, if I remember rightly, the stairs and front door are the only wooden features and the rest is a lot of very modern light grey/white/shiny features. I think another touch of warmth in the wood will be beautiful.

Thankyou robandlyn...yes you are correct about the wooden door and stairs , but also upstairs to where the stairs lead up to is the 'mancave' room, where we also have timber floor in the hallway and large room (in spotted gum)...I think i will go with the wooden rail..thanks again :)

Ok thanks guys...timber it is :))

Hello,

Glass and Cast Iron/ Black metal is a great option. It wont detract from the statement that is the floating stairs already but become part of the art piece. The black rail helps to frame the stairs.

Yeah too industrial looking...going for a slick modern look that's warm at the same time
