Choosing the Right Interior Door Handles

If you’re choosing new door handles for your home then no doubt you’ll be busy looking at all the options. It’s not easy as there’s so much choice out there. Door handles are an essential item that serves both functional and aesthetic needs. It’s important to get right as although they may seem inconsequential, they can make a difference to the symmetry of a home and how it works with everything else.

Bespoke or Uniformity

Your home may have several doors and that’s lots of door handles/knobs to provide. Unless you’re looking for a truly unique feel and you want different door handles throughout, you’ll be looking mainly for uniformity. The right door handles regardless of how small they are can aid to a sense of flow bringing colour and design together. The handles will need to fit in well with the designs you have throughout. They need to be hardwearing and offer longevity because they will be frequently handled over the coming years.

Handles or Knobs

Once you’ve settled on a design, you’ll need to consider whether you’ll go with handles or knobs. Always go for something that will fit in with your overall design but also to those that will be using them. For instance, if you have people living with you who have difficulty with holding or handling doors handles, fancy design ones that require a good clutch or twisting of the handle aren’t going to be helpful. Think about functionality as well as aesthetics, practicality and usefulness. 

Classic and Contemporary

Door knobs are great and fit in with the classic or contemporary design, so they would match well with either. That means that you don’t have to have a period property to have traditional doorknobs.
