Balcony railings are often a minor design detail which can transform the facade of your home. There is a wide variety of design styles and build styles to choose from. Creatalog is here with the best balcony railing designs for you to decorate your facade with.
1. Wood Balcony Railings
Common and inexpensive, nothing gives a bucolic vibe to a balcony quite like a wooden railing. These railings go perfectly with balcony picnic benches for a relaxing outdoor space. Throw in a few balcony planters for a beautiful balcony garden!
2. PVC and Vinyl
Another inexpensive option on our list, PVC and Vinyl railings are a good alternative to wood. Colors are limited. PVC railings are a perfect low-cost option for modern aesthetic white railings. Regular cleaning is required for a clean look.
3. Glass
If the balcony serves a beautiful view, the best option is to make the most out of this view is to install glass railings. Although more on the expensive side, clear glass railing designs come in a variety of material including solid glass, tempered glass, acrylic etc. They’re also great for showing off your balcony planters.
4. Concrete
The best contemporary option on the list, concrete railings are a one-time investment and will last as long as the house itself. They require minimal maintenance. Designs are limited but their sturdy nature and low maintenance makes up for it. They’re best used in urban balconies.
5. Aluminium
Aluminium railings are perfect alternatives to glass railings. They’re light, fairly strong and give a modern look to your balcony. There are many balcony railing designs to choose from. Adding some plants via balcony planters can produce an interesting ‘modern meets nature’ style.
6. Compound railings
Different materials can be combined to make a railing of your choice. Most popular choices of compound railings are - wooden frames with metal wires, steel frames with tempered glass, steel and brass, etc.
7. Brick work
Brick work railings bring out the raw, rustic aesthetic of any house. If the rest of the structure is also themed brick-red, and is adhering to the rustic design style, a brick work railing is a perfect cherry on top.
8. Textured Composite Railing
For a wooden railing without the nuisance of warping, an ideal alternative is a composite material railing textured like wood. Other textures can be achieved as well, without the downsides of the material. Just as good for the balcony planters!
9. Intricate Metal Railings with artistic designs
One of the best advantages of stainless steel railings is the variety of intricate, exotic balcony railing designs possible due to how easily steel can be worked. Some services offer customized balcony railing designs for your metal railings. Others have a large selection of design styles to choose from.
10. Victorian Era Stone Railings
Lastly, if you’re looking to stand out from the rest, go for the luxurious cut stone railings. These railings have a premium look and design, and a cost to match. Materials can be granite, marbles etc. They're high cost, high maintenance but will turn your balcony into a sight to behold.
