Stainless steel, matte black or brass: which door hardware suits you?

Stainless steel door hardware: timeless and practical

Stainless steel door hardware has a calm, timeless look and fits well with modern and minimalist interiors. Stainless steel is strong and suitable for doors that are used frequently. Maintenance is also simple: wiping it down regularly with a soft cloth is usually sufficient. With stainless steel, do pay attention to the specific finish, as not every product has the same properties.

Matte black door hardware: sleek and contemporary

Matte black door hardware provides a clear contrast and fits well with modern, industrial and Scandinavian interiors. The matte finish creates a calm look, although dirt and fingerprints can sometimes be more visible on black. Use a soft cloth and mild cleaner when cleaning to keep the finish looking good.

Brass door hardware: warm and full of character

Brass door hardware gives a warm look full of character. It fits well with classic, rural and hotel-chic interiors. Keep in mind that there are different types of brass and finishes. For example, solid brass and a gold-colored or brass-colored coating do not behave the same way. The required maintenance can therefore also differ.

Which finish suits your situation?

The choice of stainless steel, matte black or brass door hardware mainly depends on your interior, usage and the look you want to achieve. Therefore, do not just look at the color, but also at the material, the finish and the maintenance.

Practical tip: are you in doubt between several finishes? Hold samples of the colors and materials next to the door and view them in both daylight and artificial light. This will help you better see which finish actually suits the space.
