The upstairs railing in my recently purchased 1829 home is so low that it really scares me. I don't want to change anything original that can't be reversed later, but I don't think I can live with this - ceilings are 12', and it's so low that a trip could send someone over.

I would prefer a reversible fix - adding on something removable - but I'm up for anything that incorporates or modifies the existing elements in some way.

How have you all dealt with this? Any advice?
