Custom Railings WA – Serving Medina, Bellevue, Mercer Island, and the Greater Eastside

When a Mercer Island homeowner approached Custom Railings WA for a renovation project, they had a clear vision: clean, modern lines that would tie together the open floor plan without breaking up the natural light flowing through the home. The result was a fully custom metalwork package that included two floor-to-ceiling decorative metal panels and a custom interior staircase railing, all fabricated in our Washington shop and installed on-site.

Every piece was designed, welded, finished, and installed by our team to match the home’s contemporary architecture and the client’s exact taste.

The Design Brief

The homeowner wanted something that felt:

• Modern but warm, not cold or industrial
• Visually open, allowing sightlines and daylight to pass through
• Cohesive, with the railing and decorative panels reading as one design language
• Built to last, using premium steel and a durable powder-coated finish

Working closely with the client, we developed a signature pattern, vertical steel bars accented by short horizontal “tick” bars placed at varied heights and intervals. The asymmetric placement gives each piece a sculptural, almost musical rhythm rather than a repetitive grid look.

Custom Decorative Metal Panels as Room Dividers

The two decorative metal panels serve as architectural room dividers between the main living area, the entry, and the kitchen. Rather than installing a solid wall, which would have closed off the space and blocked daylight, the panels define each zone while keeping the floor plan visually open.

Key features of the custom decorative panels:

• Full floor-to-ceiling height for a dramatic architectural statement
• Vertical steel bars with hand-placed horizontal accent details
• Matte dark bronze powder-coated finish for a rich, modern look
• Welded steel frame for structural integrity and a clean perimeter
• Anchored discreetly to the floor and ceiling for a seamless install

The panels filter light beautifully throughout the day, casting subtle linear shadows across the flooring as the sun moves — a design detail the client specifically loved.

Custom Interior Metal Staircase Railing

To carry the design throughout the home, we fabricated a matching custom interior metal railing for the main staircase. The railing uses the same vertical bar and horizontal accent pattern found in the decorative panels, creating a strong sense of continuity between the two architectural features.

Highlights of the custom staircase railing:

• Solid steel construction with welded joints for maximum strength and safety
• Matching dark bronze powder-coated finish
• Light natural wood handrail for warmth and contrast
• Code-compliant baluster spacing for safety
• Clean, minimal mounting hardware for a refined look

The combination of the dark steel and the pale wood handrail gives the staircase a Pacific Northwest modern feel that is sophisticated, natural, and quietly luxurious.
