Material interests

Hardware material choice has a part to play as part of a larger interior scheme. Finding a design which has something to offer the design of your space will add a sense of luxury that is only achieved by paying attention to the details, whether that’s the choice of metallic finish, or incorporating more intriguing materials into the mix. The Bullet+Stone collection is a new product line for Designer Doorware, teaming industrial, irregular concrete with luxurious metal finishes.

Modern heritage

In a property with period features, a nod to the heritage of the building through interior hardware can be the perfect finishing touch. This doesn’t necessarily meaning trying to find a style that replicates the house’s era faithfully, which can end up creating a pastiche of period looks. Instead, try a modern design that has been imbued with the essence and flair of heritage design. The Harper range from Corston Architectural Detail simplifies some of the ornate detailing you’d expect on period hardware, while retaining a heritage silhouette.
