Which side of the stairs would you install the hand rail on and why?

Hand rail is in bottom of photo, laying on stairs. Stairs lead to a bedroom, door is at top left of stairs near window as you look up. Other egress is at bottom of stairs, same side as top of stairs which leads into living space, there is no door at bottom. My hunch says left hand side (looking up) as most folks are right handed and will use that on way down. But, aesthetic wise, I think the other side will look and flow better.

Is there a best practice here? Probably over thinking this....! :)
