Why Are Pink Crystal Door Knobs So Hard To Find?

If you’re having a hard time tracking down a pink crystal door knob for your home, you would think that it wouldn’t be that hard to find something so simple, but options are rare.  In this post I’ll show you how to increase your odds of finding them by searching in your town and online.  I can’t guarantee success, but you’ll at least have a shot at finding the exact on that you want!

A trick that I wrote about in another post about finding crystal door knobs cheap involves trading with someone that you know.  If you know someone that has pink crystal knobs in their home, offer to buy them a set of brand new knobs in exchange for theirs.  This is usually cheaper than trying to buy vintage door knobs from an antique store.  I think the key with pulling this off is to be upfront about your intentions and really setting them up with a nice door knob set.  You’ll have to hear about how nice their pink door knob looks in your home in the future, so you really don’t want to burn any bridges trying to do this!

Shopping For Pink Door Knobs Online

One reliable source for pink knobs that I’ve been able to find online is Amazon.com.  They have a small, but consistent selection of them, all of which vary in price from affordable to high-end.  Here are the four most popular choices that they have.

There are other places online to find pink crystal door knobs, but they seem to be very inconsistent with their inventory.

Crystal Door Knobs

If you’re looking for something that will make a dramatic improvement to your home, crystal door knobs are one of the simplest ways to do so.  We’ve all become so accustomed to seeing the regular brass or steel door knobs that when we see something like a crystal door knob it has a huge impact on our impressions of a home.  Not to mention they are really cool!

Crystal door knobs aren’t cheap, but if you look at it like you’re doing something that will make a real difference to the value of your home you may be able to swallow the cost.  The average crystal knob is about $60 to $70, and when you multiply that by home many doors in your home need them it can be a large chunk of money.

Antique crystal door knobs are also a viable option.  If you can find a salvage sale or an antique store going out of business you may be able to find these door knobs very inexpensive.  It will take some work, and you’ll probably have to spend some time refurbishing them, but you can save a ton of money.  This is definitely the best way to get your hands on enough door knobs.

Another cool thing that I’ve seen in some homes is where not all of the door knobs match each other.  This might seem like a wacky idea, but since all of them were crystal and of similar design, it worked out really well.  If you were to do this you could potentially save a lot of money because you can pick them up one at a time when you see really good deals.

When decorating a home good is in the details, and adding a detail like a crystal door knob is a way to make your home feel like a mansion!  It’s also a really good DIY project that even the most beginner of beginner’s can successfully complete in an afternoon.  The only major roadblock I see for beginners is having to repair or refurbish old crystal door knobs, but if the ones that you’re working with are new or in good condition this will be very easy.
