Door handles give character to your door!

Door handles may be small details in a home, but they make a world of difference in appearance and ease of use. Whether you have a modern home or a classic interior, the right door handle elevates your doors—and therefore your entire interior—to a higher level. But what should you consider when choosing a door handle?

1. Shape: straight or classic?

The shape of a door handle largely determines its style.

• Sleek, straight lines fit perfectly in modern and minimalist interiors.
• Round or graceful shapes work well in rural or classic homes.
  Also pay attention to the feel in the hand: a door handle should not only be attractive, but also feel pleasant in daily use.

2. Color: bronze is the current trend

After years in which black and stainless steel dominated, we are now seeing a clear trend towards warm tones.

Brown and bronze door handles are all the rage. They create a luxurious, chic look and combine beautifully with natural materials like wood, marble, and earth tones. These colors bring warmth to your interior and suit both modern and classic spaces.

3. Materials: from brass to aluminum

Door handles are available in all kinds of materials, each with their own character:

• Brass – classic, durable and often available in bronze or gold tones.
• Stainless steel – sleek, modern and easy to maintain.
• Aluminum – light and affordable, often used in contemporary designs.
• Black coated steel – rugged and industrial, popular for modern interiors.

Want a door handle that stays beautiful for a long time? Choose a brushed finish; it's less susceptible to fingerprints and scratches.

4. Height: ergonomics and uniformity

Door handles are typically installed at a height of 1.05 meters (measured from the floor). This is for good reason: this height is comfortable for most people to hold and also creates a uniform look throughout the home.

5. Spring-loaded door handles: smooth and sturdy

Most modern door handles are spring-loaded these days. This means they automatically return to their horizontal position after you open the door. This keeps the handle straight and secure, and the operation always feels firm and smooth.

In short

Door handles are more than just a practical detail—they're the finishing touch to your interior. Whether you choose bronze-colored brass with a classic shape or a modern black stainless steel version, a well-chosen door handle enhances the style of your home and makes every door just that little bit more beautiful.
