Have you ever paid a visit to a model home in a new development or an open house on a Sunday afternoon trying to get design ideas? If you have, then you already know all the homes look so nice and you wonder how you can achieve the same for your home. Unfortunately, there is always a struggle and you can never get your home to look as good as the ones in these model homes or perhaps in the design magazines. While you can certainly go out and purchase some larger items for a home that can certainly give it a distinctive look, but there’s also a number of smaller details that can have just as much as an impact on the overall presentation of your home. I am sure like most homeowners you have not given much thought to some of the smaller details that make a home look great, and the interior door knobs are certainly part of the big picture and shouldn’t be ignored. The interior door handles and your door hardware hinges have a bigger impact then most people give them credit for.

Interior door handles, interior door knobs and of course, door hardware hinges are probably some of the easier details that can be changed in a home to change the look and feel. Besides being needed to open and close doors, door handles and knobs as well as the hinges can have unique designs and create or fit in to the personality of the home. Normally interior doors do not feature locking mechanisms, unless it’s for a restroom door so when you’re shopping, make sure you don’t overlook this feature. If you want an interior door knob with a lock it will be called a privacy set and the other doors without the lock will be called passage sets. Doors with no action on the handles, such as some closets will have dummy sets. Be sure to familiarize yourself with what door needs what function before you go make any purchase.

For years door knobs and door handles were the standard equipment for opening and closing doors and were always the least expensive items used in the home. But today things have really changed and door handles and interior door knobs are making a big splash on the design scene and adding great value to a home. Today the best door knobs and handles are made of a good quality brass or bronze and have the mechanisms to hold up for years.

cupboard door knobs of the least expensive brands will fail over just a short period of time so it is wise to spend the extra few bucks on quality interior door hardware.

While it is no secret that perfectly designed home is made up of both major design elements, large and small, it’s the small details that bring the whole design together. Interior door knobs, the interior door handles and door hardware hinges are just one part of the design process that needs to be addressed, whether for new construction, renovating or just a simple little face lift.
