Your home deserves a rich and vibrant style palette. From functional pieces that improve daily activities to unique items that draw the eye of guests, you want a living space that complements your personal lifestyle and elevates your sense of relaxation and calm.
A key attribute of such a living space is your staircase. These are far more than essential functional elements. When used properly, you can transform even a basic staircase into a pivotal design piece using custom newel posts. The trick is finding the right style that elevates your overall interior design scheme for 2025.
Styles of newel posts
Custom newel posts work by enhancing the architecture of staircases. They are both crucial to the overall support of the handrail, but are also the most visible part that guests will notice when approaching the first step. In most cases, these custom newel posts include a base, the main body of the post, and a cap – each of which can be tailored to fit your unique needs.
In most cases, you’ll find custom newel posts that are square shaped at the base and have pre-drilled holes to accommodate the pegs of the structure. The goal is to ensure stability while allowing some decoration. Most custom newel posts come in a variety of styles and materials. For example, you can work with a wide range of options from our custom collection like:
- Modern
- Classic
- Fluted
- Spiral
- Elegant
- Baroque
- Old World
- Intricately Carved
- Colonial
- Column
- French
- And many more
There are even custom newel posts with designs of animals like lions and vegetables like artichokes. It all comes down to finding what you think will best complement your style and that of your family.
Most of the new innovations in custom newel posts are parallel to technological advancements. Ways to turn, manufacture, and create custom designs are transforming the industry. Still, with all that innovation, there is nothing quite like the hand-worked result you would get from an expert craftworker. These are the unique pieces that cannot be duplicated and carry the “witness marks” of hand turning that make them so well cherished.
As you consider which type of custom newel posts will be best for your home or business, be sure to look at your current décor style, the level of detail you wish to impose, and what types of materials would best fit your situation. Disrupting your classic-styled home with a sudden instance of metal may not be the best choice. Sticking to more natural materials like wood often offers a subtle elegance that can be customized to your heart’s content.
