X-Shaped Deck Railing

X marks the spot! X-shaped deck railing, like this example from @londondeckingcompany, offers appealing clean, modern lines. The X shape also elicits a cottage or farmhouse vibe, especially when painted white, making this a versatile choice that works well with many house styles.

Chippendale-Style Deck Railing

This geometric deck railing, made of interlocking diagonals, was inspired by the Chinese Chippendale designs of 18th-century cabinetmaker Thomas Chippendale. And yet, the railing shape still looks fresh and modern.

On this deck from @city_farm_ky, the Chippendale railing is painted Sherwin-Williams Tricorn Black and paired with a parquet deck pattern.
