The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Door Handles for Every Room in your home
Choosing the right door handles for each room in your home may seem like a minor detail, but it’s one of those finishing touches that can transform your space and tie the overall design together. With so many styles, finishes, and functional considerations, it’s essential to choose the perfect hardware for each door. The Door Handle is the most touched item in a house, so it’s important to get it right.
1. Front Entrance: First Impressions Matter
Your front door sets the tone for your home, and a well-designed entrance can add up to 10% to its value. As the first point of contact, your choice of door hardware should be both bold and welcoming.
For a grand statement, entrance pull handles offer a striking and sophisticated look. Opt for 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel to ensure durability, especially in coastal or high-exposure areas. If you prefer a sleek, modern aesthetic, trending finishes like Brushed Nickel and Graphite Nickel provide a contemporary touch with long-lasting appeal.
Beyond style, security is just as important. Consider adding deadbolts or smart locks for enhanced protection without compromising on design. The Knox 3-in-1 lock is a standout choice in the Australian market, combining ultra-security with premium aesthetics. Offering both convenience and peace of mind, the Knox is turning heads for all the right reasons.
2. Living Areas: Blending Style with Comfort
For living rooms, dining rooms, and other shared spaces, door handles should reflect the overall interior style. Opt for levers or knobs in finishes that complement the room’s decor, such as brushed nickel for a modern feel or satin brass for a more traditional touch. Singapore Hardwares range of levers offers sleek, ergonomic designs that not only look good but feel comfortable in hand.
3. Bedrooms: Privacy and Personal Style
Bedrooms are personal sanctuaries, so door handles should prioritize privacy and style. We offers a variety of privacy levers that come with built-in locks. For a serene and cohesive look, matching the bedroom hardware to the rest of the house, but in a more subtle, muted finish like brushed nickel or graphite nickel, can add a calming atmosphere.
4. Bathrooms: Durability and Moisture Resistance
Bathroom door handles need to withstand high humidity and frequent use, making durability essential. Privacy is also a key consideration, so installing privacy locks is a must. While many homeowners prefer a separate privacy lock for added security and peace of mind, integrated privacy options are more popular among builders due to their ease of installation.
5. Closets and Storage: Simple and Functional
For closet doors, simple, functional handles are usually best. Smaller knobs or streamlined lever handles in neutral finishes like brushed nickel or matte black can complement any room style without drawing too much attention. The Singapore Hardwares Zurich T Knobs, are popular as are the Mayfair and Manhattan for the not so modern projects.

By considering the function, style, and finish of each handle, you can create a cohesive look throughout your home while ensuring that each door is both beautiful and practical.
