How upgrading your hardware transforms an interior
The smallest design choice can sometimes make the biggest difference – and hardware is a perfect example. Whether you’re redesigning a room or simply refreshing a run of tired cabinets, premium architectural hardware instantly elevates a space. Thoughtfully chosen, beautiful hardware adds character, cohesion and understated style, as well as a reassuring sense of quality, longevity and tactile pleasure.
Why high-quality hardware stands out
Carefully crafted from premium, sustainable materials, luxury hardware is built to last and feels satisfyingly solid in the hand. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, high-end hardware is engineered with meticulous attention to detail and hand finished for uncompromising quality. The difference is clear, and it means that this small change really can make a significant impact throughout your home.
Creating cohesion
When upgrading your hardware, start with the pieces that will make the most difference: it could be bedside drawer pulls, kitchen cupboard knobs or interior door handles. Then consider how they interact with other visible hardware elements. Whether you are aiming for an elegant, period feel or a sleek, modern look, you may want to match hardware styles and finishes as much as possible to create a unified design language, both within and between rooms, ensuring that your interior feels cohesive and considered.
Making a statement
Sometimes, however, it’s an unexpected touch that brings a space to life. A single oversized door pull, a duo of textured cabinet knobs or a set of sculptural handles could become small but striking focal points. Even mixing finishes – such as pairing matte black with aged brass or polished chrome – adds contrast, depth and dynamism, turning your hardware into a defining feature rather than an afterthought.
Elevating everyday spaces
Premium hardware not only looks good – it also feels good. From a weighty, chrome-plated drawer knob to an organically shaped, polished-brass door handle, the feeling of each piece in your hand is something to be enjoyed, a tiny element of pleasure in an everyday action that makes a difference to how you feel about your space as much as to how it looks.
Adding enduring style
