Improve Your Home With New (Or Old) Door Knobs

Door knobs are an often overlooked part of interior design.  They fall into the bucket of replacing it only after it’s been broken, but this is a major opportunity that many homeowners and interior designers are missing out on.  They are simple, affordable, and easy to install.  Wisely chosen door knobs can make a huge impact on a home without much fuss at all!

In this post I want to go over two different types of door knobs, ceramic and vintage, and show you how they work into the grand scheme of the home.

Ceramic door knobs are a very classic addition to a home.  They are very durable, and can stand up to serious abuse (think: kids!) without showing a scratch.  Additionally, they can be painted in any color to match what you already have going on.  My favorite aspect of the a ceramic door knob is it’s simple beauty.  They are usually a solid color in a clean, unfussy shape.  That’s the recipe for a perfect interior design addition!

Unlike ceramic, vintage door knobs come in a wild array of shapes, sizes, and colors.  It’s almost like a game when you’re going shopping for these because you never know what you’re going to end up with.  A popular trend in interior design right now is having similar, but not matching door knobs all throughout the home.  This gives the room that the door leads to more character, impression, and a bit of mystery.  Vintage knobs are perfect for this because you’re rarely going to find a complete set of them that will cover all of the doors in your home.  Keep in mind that some of these door knobs are at the least going to have to be cleaned before use, and at the worst refurbished.

Upgrading your home with the door knobs discusses above is an easy and simple way to make a big difference on a budget.  There are other things that you can do to your home, but not many are as easy as this.
