TIPS ON CHOOSING DOOR FURNITURE
Tip one
Door furniture should be used to enhance a door and is really important as the wrong choice could easily cheapen the door. Therefore, make sure the style of the ironmongery matches the style of the door. There are some really eyecatching styles for handles for contemporary doors that would look completely out of place on a traditional door.
For contemporary doors, a good idea is to choose door furniture with clean lines that reflect a contemporary, minimalist look.
For traditional doors – again there are a wide range of classic styles with more decorative designs available.
Tip two
Make sure the ironmongery you choose for your door also complements the style of those used on kitchen door units, to create a more consistent look to the home.
Tip three
Choose a handle that is appropriate for the occupants of your house. For example, if the household has older family members, they may prefer door furniture that is easy to grip and has dexterity benefits. Similarly if the door furniture is expected to have lots of heavy duty usage, or it will be used by children, it may be better to avoid some of the more delicate glass handle designs.
