Choose The Brass Door Knob That Fits Your Home

Filed Under Door Knobs | Leave a Comment

There are thousands of different brass door knob choices on the market, so it can be hard to navigate through them all to get the one that is perfect for your door.  The shopping choices are different based on whether or not you’re looking for exterior or interior brass door knobs, but finding the right one is the same.

The first step is to figure out what style you want.  Brass door knobs come in every shape, style, and finish you can imagine so figuring out what you need before you start shopping will make everything much easier.  I usually help people start with the finish (ironic, huh?).  Brass comes in its regular color, silver, brushed, oil rubbed, and chrome so determining which is right for its application isn’t too tough.

After the finish is figured out, it’s time to look into the style.  The stuff around it will usually determine the style, this is especially true for exterior knobs where things like light fixtures, hinges, address numbers, and even the mailbox will influence the door knob’s style.

If you’re looking for something plain and easy, you can go shopping right now and just buy whatever catches your eye, but if you’re looking for something that doesn’t look like every other house in the neighborhood, start researching different styles.  I like using the internet to see all of the available styles.  It’s really easy to see a few hundred different options in a few minutes, which really gets the brain going with ideas.  If your home has a common theme throughout, use that theme as your guide to make sure that your choice makes sense.

Buying brass door knobs that are different than the cookie cutter style is an excellent way to make a big improvement in your home.  Just make sure that you have the ones that make sense and compliment every thing else, rather than just the cheapest ones!
