I'm finaly getting around to putting a rail up the stairs to the second
floor I added to my home several years ago. Question is, which side is the
standard for a rail? I seem to recall seeing then on either side, however
for my application I think having it on the left side as you go up makes
better sense.

Any rules on this?

Thanks!

I recommend both sides. If not, you'll have a "trail"on one side of
the stairs, especially if they are carpeted.
