We all have a preferred aesthetic look when it comes to our homes – and rightfully so. Being a homeowner is an investment. As such, understanding how to choose the perfect deck railing style for your home matters. Dek Rail is here to help unpack that!
How to Choose the Perfect Deck Railing Style for Your Home
Deck railings are more than just a safety feature—they define the style and personality of your outdoor space.
Whether you’re seeking a new DIY deck, or you are ready to upgrade an existing one, the right railing choice can enhance curb appeal, compliment your home’s architecture, and increase property value.
Here’s how to choose the perfect deck railing style for your home.
Assess Your Home’s Architecture
Your deck railing should harmonize with the architectural style of your home. This can include:
- Modern homes – Sleek glass, cable railings, or minimalist metal designs with clean lines.
- Traditional homes – Classic metal aluminum picket baluster spindles.
- Coastal or cottage-style homes – White vinyl stainless steel wire woven mesh with a breezy, open design.
- Rustic cabins or farmhouse styles – Aluminum picket railing panels or horizontal stainless steel cables that blend with the surroundings.
Consider Your View
A railing choice can either frame or obstruct your outdoor view. Along with safety measures, enhancing your view matters too. Our Popular Main Frame Rail Styles can help with both of these features!
Match Your Railing to Your Decking
Coordinating your railing with your decking will provide a cohesive look. Mixing materials, like wood posts with metal or cable infill, can also offer a custom touch. Our DIY railing options provide a variety of styles to suit your needs.
Enhance Your Railing with Lighting and Accessories
