Hello

I have really been going back and forth regarding my staircase renovation. It will be closed as it is too much work to open it up =(
But when it comes to the railings, I've gotten a bit stuck.

I want it like in this picture:
A staircase with wooden steps and stainless steel balusters contrasts with a white stringer; railing design under consideration for renovation.

I will buy the stainless rods from Ikea's Grundtal shelf. But since my stringer curves a bit, it's hard to get it like in the picture above. See picture: Rustic staircase with wooden banister and metal rods between beams; designed with potential for renovation as described in the discussion post.

I think it looks really stupid when the white (which will have some nice profile) doesn't curve the same way as the stringer.

Option 2 is to do it like this:
Wooden staircase with a metal baluster design. Red X marks a section to be removed, and yellow lines suggest modifications. Upper white section highlights design change.

Here, I would have to put a nice "rule" on the inside that allows me to run my steel pipes directly down into the stringer. Which means I would also have to put one above as well, leaving the yellow-marked area empty for some other imaginative function. The red-marked railing will be removed.

So now to the question. Those of you who might have done something similar or have a bit more inclination for building and design, which should I go with?

Thanks in advance

Best regards, Kenie

Feel free to upload a picture of how the stairs look at the bottom in the turn.
Spontaneously, I would have avoided bars on the short section after the turn, ending with a pillar instead.
 
Either you need to go to a carpentry shop and get a bent regel that follows the form of the stringer, or skip the regel and attach each pipe individually. Maybe there are suitable and stylish pipe holders/brackets, or if you use thicker pipes, they can be screwed onto the existing slats.
