Trending Balcony Railing Designs
As home designs trend toward open floor plans with larger more spacious interior surroundings balconies are becoming an important part of interior design. Interior balcony railings influence the overall aesthetic of a room and offer an overlook to the lower level or through expansive windows to the outdoors. Many of today’s modern home styles such as farmhouse, craftsman, industrial, contemporary, or cube styles include interior balconies. They are frequently located in the home’s main entry or overlooking the great room.
Browse several interior balcony ideas below to inspire your next new build or renovation. These modern styles use cable, glass, or metal infill for the balcony railings.
1) Balcony Cable Railings
Penthouse Loft Balcony Railing
Located right in the heart of downtown Denver, this penthouse loft has some of the best views in the city. Not only can you see the metropolitan area from the two-story apartment, but you can also take in the view of the mountains in the distance. When the building, originally built in 1882, was most recently remodeled, the architects on the project wanted to open up space as much as possible. After the renovation, the penthouse needed a railing system for the interior balconies and staircase. Keuka Studios designed an Ithaca Style cable railing system for the loft. The railing’s slender posts and thin cable infill allow for unobstructed views of the apartment’s surroundings from almost everywhere within the loft.

For their railings, the homeowners chose our Chicago Style posts which have a unique, industrial-style appearance. The posts are “Sparkle Silver” powder-coated steel which creates a stark contrast with the railing’s wood top rail.
