Either go with a style consistent with the exterior architecture of the house, or make an intentional and considered departure that is consistent with all the other trim and finishes.

Looking for ideas for the railings of two sets of stairs in white oak for a row townhouse + the small part of the hallway above the stairs at the top floor.

I tend to like simple designs. Googling I see some nice glass with wood handles or railings.

Any suggestions or experiences to share?
