Something to Hold Onto

I'm trying to decide on new handrails for the house - and found houzz, a great website for gathering home design ideas.  Here are a few that I found inspiring :-)

I like the use of lights...

A neat idea - although I'd rather it not be quite so nautical...

Traditional Staircase design by New Orleans Architect Bockman Forbes + Glasgow, Architecture + Design

Perhaps simple and metal...

Not realistic for my house, but I love this!

A modern handrail with brackets.

Clean + simple

Okay, I just want to live here...

Definitely some neat ideas - I'm hoping to come up with something a bit outside of the box. I'll let you know what I decide!
