Tips for Choosing Door Hardware
Style and interior design
The starting point for most is the overall design and style of the project. Be it classic, modern, scandi or minimalist, the finishes you choose will go a long way towards bringing your inspiration to life. Make sure you consider a wide range of products to ensure that the door hardware you choose fits seamlessly with your interior style and lifts the look of your home. And there are so many things to consider. Style, colour, finish, functionality and security.
Colour and finish
Colour and finish is an important consideration and should align with the overall style, design and colour palette of the project whilst also considering other elements such as tapware, kitchen cabinetry, and even interior window frames. Keep in mind that door hardware can blend in with other interior elements, but can also be used as feature in the home.
Rosette
Next to consider is the rosette, or the backplate of the handle that sits on the door. Rosettes provide the functional mechanisms, and also an opportunity to add a decorative finish. Rosettes are usually square or round.
The handle
The handle itself should be considered firstly for functionality, then the design or look that you’re after. Handles are available as square or round, and either slimline or more solid profile.
Security
Security is mandatory. So, to keep your home and family safe, your choice in door hardware should be a top quality brand with a strong warranty.
Choices are stand-alone door entry handles or handles with deadbolt.
Other important considerations
