Choosing the Best Internal Door Handles for Your London Home

As far as home design is considered, every small detail matters right down to the internal door handles. Not so frequently looked at, these internal door handles are major elements that complement interior designs and functionalities in any type of dwelling space. You may open and close doors; you may even let sound from other rooms into your own, but beyond that, these door handles tie your room décor in place, they can enhance security, and also help improve convenience. At Webironmongery, we understand that the right choice of internal door handles will make your London home special. Here’s everything you should consider in choosing just the perfect door handle.

1. Style and Aesthetic Appeal

That’s just a massive impact it can give to the décor and atmosphere of the room. Modern, minimalist, or maybe a very traditional and vintage one-you might have a matching handle style for your taste.

• Modern Homes: When a house is built with modern type architecture, shiny chrome or stainless steel door handles are perfect. Their smooth, glistering surfaces reflect the light and hence are a contribution to the characteristic modern ambiance.
• These can be installed in the homes of those who prefer a classic or traditional setting for the addition of elegance and warmth antique brass or matte black handles provide. Brushed nickel handles with clean lines and subtle finishes are perfectly safe and add no boldness but complement the minimalistic designs for your home.

The type of internal door handle should complement the overall design of your home, slightly enhancing or detracting from the visual harmony of the room.

2. Handle Types: Lever vs. Knob

Choosing between internal door handles should be between lever handles and doorknobs; each has advantages depending upon your needs and preferences.

•  Lever Handles Lever handles are the most common form of door handle, characterized by easy operation and a wide variety of styles. They are in the best interest for households with small children or elderly people due to them being easier to operate than knobs.
• Door Knobs: Then, of course, there is the door knob. Door knobs give a rather old-fashioned appearance to the room and do add character. But for anyone who finds it inconvenient to have to twist in order to open a door, maybe they won’t be best.

Both types are available in a wide variety of finishes and designs, so you should be able to choose one that also makes sense from a practical standpoint and aesthetically.

3. Finish and Material

Like with the door style, finish and quality of your internal door handles, are very important, especially when considering factors such as the durability, maintaining qualities and even aesthetic appeal.

• Chrome Handles: Chrome is quite popular for internal door handles because they have a rather sleek, shiny finish that is suited for the modern ambiance. It is also resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for wet rooms like bathrooms or kitchens.
• Brass Handles: Brass handles are very classy, era-less in their appearance, and are available in a range of polished, antique, or satin finishes. Brass is a material that needs to be cleaned frequently in order to maintain its lustrous aspect.
• Stainless Steel Handles  These handles are highly robust and very resistant to rust. Therefore, they may find a lot of applications in high-traffic houses. They give a really modern look and are really nice for a contemporary house.
• Matte Black or Bronze: These finishes have recently become all the rage about adding contrast and drama to any interior space. It does look great in an industrial-type home design, an old rustic, or minimalist look that calls for this combination of a minimalist polished interior with much contrast.

4. Functionality and Security

Functionality is important if you are choosing the internal door handles as there might be cases where their functions are somewhat special. Consider the locations where the interior door handles will be installed and their special purposes.

•  Privacy Locks: You may need privacy handles with integral locks for the bedroom and bathroom doors. This will ensure the door closes to lock your privacy.
• Passage Handles: These are mostly used for living areas or hallways where a lock is not needed. These handles have the best attribute in that they easily open and close.
• Dummy Handles: Decoration purposes such as closet doors where the lock is not required.

Many interior door handles only meet some of your style and functional needs. This actually improves home usability pretty much.

Size and Proportion

Another factor is that a proportionally large portion of the handle can make a big statement on its own, but it may be too voluminous in smaller rooms or with doors where more fragile door frames are more common. Smaller handles may look bizarre on larger doors, though. Getting the size right and in proportion will ensure that the handle feels like a part in harmony with the door as well as its setting.

6. Installation and Maintenance

Once you’ve decided on the best internal door handles, it’s time to think about installation and long-term maintenance.

• Easy Installation: Generally, most internal door handles are pretty easy to install and, using the right tools, one can easily fit them. But if not sure enough about your DIY skills, hiring a professional will ensure that the door handles are fitted properly, aligned correctly, and working as smoothly as possible.
•  Maintenance: Different finishes require more or less maintenance. Chrome and stainless steel handles are low maintenance and can be cleaned with a soft cloth, while brass and bronze might require polishing to maintain their ‘look’.

Cleanliness is also another factor in ensuring that your handles look their best for many years to come.

7. Affordability and Value for Money

Consider the budget you have. Internal door handles vary in cost, but rather than opt for the cheapest option, quality would be more financially rewarding in the long run. High-quality materials and finishes take longer to replace and require few repairs.
