How To Select Appropriate Custom Door Handles

By Jaclyn Hurley


How much attention do you pay to the handle on your doors? Do you just go with the most common types or whatever the contractors suggest to you? If so, you are missing out on one way to enhance the overall look of your home. Even better, you can choose from custom door handles that are made to go with the specific kind of doors.

Details such as floor finishes, tiles, paint and others are often concentrated on while doors are seen as a minor detail. If you took the trouble to look at the wide array of handles for doors that are available, you would understand how much impact this seemingly small fixture has on how your home looks and feels.

If you are remodeling your entire home, working on a specific room or specific aspects of it such as the doors and windows, door knobs are one aspect that will help you to achieve the look that you want. Consider changing every handle in the house. It is an effective and pocket friendly way to change the way your home looks. Achieve a different but uniform look by ensuring that the knobs are all of the same finish and color.

There is one way to go all out and achieve a unique and striking effect. It is by choosing to have every handle custom made. This means that they are designed just for you in terms of design, size and finish. In this regard, you can visit shops that specialize with handles for doors. You can also choose to visit a blacksmith if you want to have metallic ones made. You can also see a carpenter to get wooden ones carved.

As people have embraced customized door handles more and more, some designs and materials have emerged as clear favorites. One leading trend is rosettes. Knobs that have rosette designs compliment both traditional and modern interior design schemes. It is possible to have rosettes added onto wooden as well as metallic knobs.

When it comes to designs, the oval or egg shape is a firm favorite. The shape is a classic one that sits nicely in the hand and that complements most door designs. With a customized door knob, the size is up to you but make sure it is not too large or too small.

In Europe, a preferred design is the lever. With lever handles, the wrist is not twisted when opening a door. You can choose those that have rosettes such as a rectangular rosette that closes the gap between modern and traditional designs. Such handles will usually be found on bathroom doors. In a home where the design approach is minimalist, consider a door knob where the lock and knob are both on the same rosette. A knob made of cut glass is another option for an unobtrusive option.

If you choose to have your door handles customized, you can let your imagination go. If you can envision it, it can be made for you. That seemingly small bit can help you make a loud interior design statement.
