Choosing The Right Handle

WORDS Michaela Stehr


We chatted to the experts at Handles Inc. about choosing the right door knobs and handles.

What are the top trends in door handles right now?

Rose gold in all applications – including bathroom fixtures, cupboard knobs and door handles – is hugely popular, as is brass, both traditional and natural. And clean lines are in style.

What should one look for when buying door handles?

  1. Handles should be consistent from room to room, and should suit your needs and style.
  2. Consider practicality for the specific room.
  3. Choose handles that won’t date quickly.
  4. Important considerations for durability are where they were manufactured and whether the materials are of high quality and colour-fast.

Prices at Handles Inc. range from R30 to R7 000 per handle.
