Combining door hardware with your interior: how to create unity

Choose a base color for your interior

The color of your door hardware has more influence on your interior than you might think. Therefore, first look at the colors and materials already present. If you have many black details, black door hardware will naturally complement them beautifully. Brass or gold, on the other hand, can add warmth to an interior with wood and earthy tones.

Match door hardware and window hardware

By combining door hardware and window hardware in the same color or with a similar look, you create a harmonious whole. This does not always have to be exactly the same. A black door handle, for example, can be perfectly combined with a window handle of a slightly different shape, as long as the color and style match.

Combine door hardware with switches

Light switches and sockets are also visible details in an interior. By coordinating these with the door hardware, you can have colors reappear in multiple places. Think, for example, of black switch gear in combination with black door hardware.

Does everything have to be the same color?

No, different colors can actually be interesting. The most important thing is that you let a color or material reappear several times. For example, you can combine black with brass, as long as both colors appear elsewhere in the room.

Practical tip: choose one or two dominant colors for metal details and let these reappear in different places. This keeps your interior cohesive without everything having to be the same.
