Wood Balusters for Stairs

Balusters are the decorative pillars that you find supporting staircases. They come in various shapes and sizes and are usually made to match the railings and newels of a staircase. Balusters can comprise a wide range of materials, but wood has always been a mainstay because it combines elegance with function. 

As a design element, balusters go way back, as many wonders of architecture around the world feature majestic and ornate balusters in staircases and balustrades. Today, you can easily emulate those regal designs in your own home, either with the help of a professional or as a DIY project. 

Thanks to the materials used in their fabrication, wooden balusters are highly customizable, and you can choose any design that you envision for your staircase. You can choose a simple, straight column for a minimalist look, or go for a more exotic style that makes your staircase the centerpiece of your home's design. 

If you're looking to add that regal and elegant look to your home, wood balusters are the way to go. They are highly versatile, easy to install, and can easily be matched to the décor of your home with the stain of your choice. Wood balusters combine function and style to make your staircase uniquely remarkable.
