When you’re decorating your home, even the smallest touches can go a long way towards creating a coherent design. Doorknobs may not be the first things you think of when you’re considering redesigning your house (or designing a new home), but they’re incredibly important.
A doorknob creates a lasting impression–even if you don’t recognize it at first. As a matter of fact, it’s probably best when you don’t notice doorknobs and handles. When a doorknob complements the design style of a house, it blends in beautifully with the other accents. But when a doorknob stands out, it shows a lack of planning. Imagine entering a modern, minimalist home and seeing intricately carved glass doorknobs–or visiting an old Victorian home and seeing utilitarian handles. The incongruity would certainly be memorable, but the impression it creates wouldn’t necessarily be a desirable one.
If you do have a design style that’s cohesive, then you’re sure to find some doorknobs that will go along with that style perfectly. If your style is more eclectic, then you have even more choices–you could even choose different handles or doorknobs for different doors, rather than going for a unified look!
Changing your doorknobs is relatively inexpensive, but it’s a great way to make sure that everything in your house looks great together. Whether you’re designing a house from scratch, remodeling a house, or simply in need of a change of pace, decorative doorknobs and handles can give you what you need.
