Nothing beats the elegance of a brass door knob. Not only does it look beautiful, it is very durable as well and it can easily transform the look of your house. As a child I remember the brass door knobs at my parents country home, they would lovingly keep the whole home tidy, but one area which was especially clean and shiny was the brass door knobs! I remember my mother taking out the brass polishing oil and going to clean every door in the home to make sure then were all as shiny as possible. It is true to say that this kind of a fitting to an old wooden door can take your mind back to more Victorian times when these were in more use. Alas the country home has not gone, but I still would like to source some of these fantastic items to my own home to give it a more regal look.
Brass doors knobs are available in several finishes and these are polished brass, antique brass, oil rubbed bronze, satin nickel and polished chrome. You can choose among the different finishes available, but solid bronze and solid bronze and brass entryway and doors will truly look so majestic. You can accessorize the entire door complete with door knobs, hinges, push and pull plates and even door knockers and mail slots for the exterior part; so that your door looks good from the outside and even more beautiful inside.
The many different patterns and designs can easily be incorporated to the overall look and theme of your house; so you can add bronze and brass finish on your cabinets and furnishings. By the time you have finished with fitting them to all the doors in your home, you will have no doubt increased the value of your home.
The most important thing you need to consider is to make everything mesh well. You need to coordinate the entire house so it would not look messy. Consider using brass hardware on all the doors in your house. Try your best to use the same pattern and design for every door because it will look best if it looks organized. Remember less is more, and especially true in a smaller type of home which tends to look more cluttered even with just a few items scattered around.
Brass doors knobs in any kind of finish can be purchased easily just by ordering online or through the many design catalogs available. Finding a brass door knob is not hard at all, finding a high quality product will be tougher. Make sure to pick one that will last for a long time; so do not compromise quality for aesthetics. One great place to look is an antiques village or shop. These are the places when they salvage old items of furniture or general antique items for you home. I have found that these places offer the most unique experience when buying something that you will be using on a daily basis.
