If you're a little bit on budget but you don't want to compromise the design and the safety of the iron railings on your staircase, you can actually go for DIY iron railing designs. Now, maybe it will delight you with the fact that you don't have to pay for a designer; all you need to do is eye some designs, work up your imagination a bit, and consult with your builder if it's feasible.
There are a lot of
reasons why it's good to do DIY iron railing designs aside from the
savings part. First, if you will be the one to provide the design for
your iron railings, then you are bound to work hands-on for your
staircase or baluster. You would want your designs to be considered,
evaluated, and, most of all, to be finally executed. This is why you are
forced to oversee every little thing and you can view your railing
designs as personal projects. Gives you that extra feeling of
inspiration and fulfillment once it's done, too.
The consultation that you must solicit from your builder regarding your DIY iron railing designs will also be a good avenue for you to learn about baluster building and home improvement in general. Judge your project according to how it affects the rest of the space, not just how it looks by itself. Take this opportunity to ask many questions and to understand the basic principles of balustrade building and beautification.
Of course after the railings are installed, you wouldn't just look at the balustrade but you will also regard it as a part of a room, a room that must have a unified aura. Therefore, along with what you will learn from the consultation, take time to do a little research (before the consultation) and read about iron designs which worked best on the specifications of your space. Is it a small room or a big room? Indoors or outdoors? Vintage or contemporary? Do some preliminary reading. At the end of the day you get to ask the builder less questions and believe me, he will thank you for that.
See, isn't making and executing your very own iron railing designs both exciting and inspiring? Your staircase would be truly something worth holding your breath for! Don't forget to always check for feasibility when a new idea springs on your mind and take a lot of notes for quick reference!
