Hardware color help please, bronze door knobs, painted trim
Comments (1)I think it depends upon the look you are going for. Nickle/chrome/stainless hardware would give you a more modern look, I believe. Whereas, orb would turn things a little more aged/classic. It would also allow your door hardware to tie in. You will deal with this same question when it comes to lighting. What did you choose there?...See MoreWant to help pick interior door knobs? Mixy pickle!
Comments (8)We faced a similar situation with our house (coincidentally also in Florida). It was built in the '70s and had various "upgrades" over the years resulting in a hodgepodge of metal finishes throughout. Mind you, I am a-ok with mixing metals (I actually prefer it to everything matching), but it needs to look cohesive. We ultimately went with satin nickel knobs everywhere. My other options were bronze, but I don't care for the "rubbed" aspect with copper-colored bits showing through (which most seem to have to some extent), or matte black, but I couldn't find an affordable option I liked. So nickel it was. I honestly think any finish would work so long as it's the same on all interior knobs. When all knobs are the same finish, they don't jump out at you so much. (Note: our bathroom fixtures are all chrome, most of our lighting fixtures in the house are dark bronze, and they all play together nicely.)...See MoreGetting house ready to sell and have door knob question.
Comments (7)That was one of the items my realtor and the stager that works with him insisted on. It was replace them all, or none. I had the shiny brass balls so maybe that had something to do with it. I bought satin nickel levers on Build.com. I got the hinges for a dollar each on Amazon. I also did all the cabinet pulls and hinges (they were visible) so it was an expense of about $500 for a 3000 square foot house. The cabinet hinges (double demountable) were surprisingly expensive and no deals to be had. Everyone says "let the new owner do X." But if there are too many X's to do, there may not be a new owner to do them? Or else you have to sell as a fixer upper. Good luck with your sale! Mine goes on the market next week....See MoreHELP WITH DOOR KNOBS?!?!
Comments (6)Thank you! Sorry for not being clear I mean door knobs for closet doors around the house! My cabinet knobs are brass like! I have 7 closet doors, 2 bedroom doors, 1 bathroom door, and 2 entrance doors in the house and am not sure what color to use for those...See MoreKay Bittner
