Internal door handle manufacturers and knobs if selected carefully can be the jewel that every room needs. Here we look at the various styles and designs you can choose from and how to complete any interior design with the right door handles and knobs.
Internal doors are an essential and functional feature within any property, acting as both separators and access points between different living spaces. A modern four-bedroom home may typically boast between 11 and 18 internal doors, but this figure can reach even higher, particularly in older and more traditional properties.
No door is complete without suitable door furniture and the choice of handles or door knobs you make will be a subtle, yet important detail. They can act like jewelry for a room, helping tie together different design elements and aiding the natural flow through the property, from area to area.
While they may be a physically small item, the style you choose needs to sit well within the overall design scheme. Plus, the hardware needs to be fit for purpose, long lasting and suitable for carrying out an important function day-to-day.
There are lots of options when it comes to size, type and design, and you’ll want to find the style that is going to complement your property the most. But where do you start?
To help you, we’ve pulled together this handy guide to some of the most popular styles and what they are most suited for, along with advice on function, finish and everything else you need to consider.

Choosing the right door furniture
Unless you want each room to be bespoke and plan to use a variety of unique statement handles throughout, you are likely to be aiming for a level of uniformity across the property.
It can therefore be helpful to start by viewing your project as a whole and thinking where it may be most appropriate to use the same style of door and handle. Also, plan where you may want something a little different, but still in a matching style and whether there are any areas where a bespoke, statement handle may be needed.
Lever handles or knobs?
One of the biggest decisions you have to make is whether you’ll go with door handles or door knobs. There are plain and simple styles available for each, along with more flamboyant and decorative options.
Door knobs have been around the longest and are a popular choice for period properties. However, with all the innovations that have been made in material, style and design, they can also create an attractive feature within both modern and contemporary residences.
Door lever handles will naturally provide better grip, aiding those with different levels of strength and dexterity. As with door knobs, there are a multitude of different designs and finishes available, with options suitable for every style of property. They will, however, generally appear more modern than door knobs.
The final decision will ultimately come down to personal preference, and will usually be driven by aesthetics and who the end user is likely to be.
