Have you ever considered the impact of door hardware on shaping a room's visual appeal? Beyond their practical functionality, door handles and hinges are pivotal in interior design, where each detail contributes to the overall ambience, especially within the context of a luxury scheme.
In this blog post, we invite you to embark on a journey into the world of luxury door hardware, delving into the intricate finishing touches that make a powerful statement and seamlessly complement your project's joinery detail and overall finish. In the insightful words of our friend Guido Maclellan of GM Architects, "The handle, in general, is a very tactile object and probably the most touched element of a house."
Luxury door handles have transcended their utilitarian purpose, evolving into exquisite art pieces. Crafted from a designer's material of choice, these handles become focal points, commanding attention and reflecting their individual taste and style. A handle is no longer just a means to open a door; it's an expression of personality and an introduction to the design theme that awaits within.
Amidst the landscape of contemporary luxury interior design, door handles embrace a variety of metal finishes, transcending mere practicality to become tactile elements that captivate and engage the senses. The choice of finishes, such as knurled brass or chrome, creates a textured surface that invites touch, providing a sensory experience for anyone interacting with the door. The tactile quality of a well-crafted handle adds an exquisite layer of luxury, transforming the act of opening a door into a sensory journey that contributes to the overall design harmony.

Lever handles are a more practical choice due to their ease of operation, making them particularly suitable for older users as they do not require a firm grip. Conversely, door knobs present a more intricate installation process, demanding a deeper backset – the distance from the edge of the door frame to the metal rod of the knob.
In luxury interior design, the evolution of door hardware extends beyond the prominence of door handles, encapsulating a metamorphosis in the role of hinges. No longer confined to a practical function, hinges have ascended to the status of architectural accents, embodying a contemporary aesthetic. The rising trend of concealed hinges has garnered favour, providing doorsets with a sleek and uninterrupted appearance, signalling a commitment to precision and meticulous attention to detail.
As architects and designers meticulously curate every element in the pursuit of design harmony, hinges are elevated to a pivotal position. Emphasising a seamless integration with the broader architectural design, flush hinges align flawlessly with doors and surrounding structures, resulting in clean lines and a polished outcome that contributes to the overall sophistication of the space.
