Change your hardware and elevate your interior
Swap a tired, worn or uninspiring set of handles, knobs or pulls and the effect is instant: an underwhelming space becomes far more inviting. Upgrading your architectural hardware may seem like a small change, but it makes a big difference (and without even having to pick up a paintbrush).
Choosing beautiful, premium pieces can bring much-needed cohesion, add a confident dash of drama, introduce enjoyable textures and provide a long-lasting sense of luxury and quality. Goodbye dull and familiar; hello new energy.
Feel the quality
The best hardware not only looks beautiful, but it also feels beautiful. Designed thoughtfully from start to finish, it’s made with care using high-quality, sustainable materials, and finished by hand for the best possible results. It’s the very opposite of cheap, throwaway, mass-manufactured alternatives, and you can tell by the superior finish and satisfying weight in your hands. Whether you update a single door or a full run of cabinets, choosing premium hardware adds understated luxury as well as standout style.
A unified look
If your space looks visually disjointed, could it be the hardware that’s to blame? Brass with gold can clash, for example, while cool tones such as stainless steel may look awkward alongside the warm tones of bronze or copper. Aligning your architectural finishes may be all you need to do in order to pull the scheme together in a considered, cohesive way. Think, too, about the ways in which your hardware relates to the other components of your interior. Could a long, slim cabinet pull repeat the lines of a tall cupboard? Might a matt-black bedside door handle echo the tone of a dark-painted window frame? Will round cabinet knobs soften a strong, geometric layout? Carefully handled, such interesting repetitions and rhythms pull everything together with subtle harmony.
Hardware as a statement
If you want to introduce a more expressive touch, go bold and add statement pieces that tell a story and show off your individuality. Hardware can be a design feature in its own right, if you wish. A unique, hand-crafted knob could turn a modest cabinet into a showstopper, for example, while oversized pulls, sculptural door handles or a set of beautifully textured bar designs could become focal points that convey confidence and personality.
Long-lasting style
Carefully chosen, good quality hardware introduces elegance and refinement to your home, while potentially unifying a design scheme and even adding a touch of drama as well as individuality. It’s about more than just appearance, however. Luxury architectural hardware is crafted to stand up to the demands of everyday life and be enjoyed for many years. Each time you touch a well-made pull, handle or cabinet knob, it will give you a small moment of satisfaction. Far from being a temporary fix or a buy-in to fast fashion, these are details that will endure, ensuring that a small change makes a significant difference to your home.
