The same handle, in black or gold, completely transforms the impression a door makes. The finish is the detail that ties the handles to the rest of the interior — furniture, hinges, switches, taps. Here is how to choose well.
Why the finish matters
Handles are touched dozens of times a day and are among the few accessories present in every room. A well-chosen finish creates coherence throughout the home; a badly chosen one "shouts" at every door.
The golden rule: the finish of the handles should repeat in at least one other element of the room — hinges, furniture legs, light fittings or taps.
Matt black — the versatile modern
Matt black is by far the most sought-after finish of the moment. It goes with almost anything: white doors, natural wood, grey, exposed concrete. It lends a contemporary, clean air without being pretentious.
It works superbly in Scandinavian, industrial and minimalist interiors. See the handles available in the Stile line and Aprile.
Gold — elegance and accent
Gold brings warmth and an air of luxury. It works as an accent: on a white door or dark wood, a gold handle becomes a little jewel. It is the choice for elegant, glam or classic-modern interiors.
Tip: gold works best in controlled doses — matched with taps, light fittings or furniture handles in the same shade, for a coherent rather than overloaded result.
