Twisted Spindles

While balusters form a railing’s primary structure, twisted spindles infuse it with personality and charm. Often slimmer and used in more diverse applications, twisted designs demonstrate that even the most fundamental components can possess character.

The best thing about a twisted metal spindle is that they offer an extremely versatile appearance. In a classic New England saltbox, a row of single-twist spindles can provide a crisp, clean-lined alternative to traditional wood, offering a hint of blacksmith artistry without overwhelming the home’s historic simplicity.

For an Adirondack-style retreat, a more robust, tightly twisted spindle can mimic the rugged terrain, connecting the interior architecture to the wild landscape outside. When arrayed together, they form a cohesive and compelling visual narrative to any type of railing.
