Eye-Catching Entry Door Hardware

 


Sometimes, simple changes to your home can pack a big punch. One way to upgrade your front entry area is to swap out old, tired hardware with new, updated door hardware. Changing your entry door hardware is a simple change that will instantly improve the appearance of your entry area. So how do you choose the right eye-catching entry door hardware for your home?

 

Make a Match 

Start by considering the tone and style of your home to help you pick the perfect new hardware for your home. The options are endless, so let your personal preferences guide you to one that suits your taste. The only rule with home hardware is coordinating the style throughout the entryway. For example, if you select a sleek, modern matte black door handle, carry that look through to the light fixtures and door knocker you choose.

 

Be Bold 

Feel free to get creative and make a statement with the hardware in your entryway. Jump out of the box and choose eye-catching pieces that you love. Give your entryway personality with a unique and memorable door knocker or mail slot. Some homeowners even spruce up their entryways with an eye-catching address sign.

 

Stay Secure 

Did you know most break-ins are committed by criminals who enter through a front door? So while attractive hardware is essential, security should also be front-of-mind. When you purchase your new hardware, ensure your front door will have a strong deadbolt lock. There are various styles and even electronic locking systems to choose from.

 

The Flip Side  

Remember that your door hardware continues to the interior of your home. Locksets for doors usually include the inside knob or handle, so ensure it also coordinates with your interior decorating style. Additionally, select hinge sets that match the door handles and locks for a complete, polished look.

 

Light it Up 

When planning for your new-and-improved entryway, consider how it will look at different times of the day. Lighting can make a dramatic difference in the appearance of your front entrance in the evening. Choose light fixtures that coordinate with your other hardware choices and consider the kind of lightbulbs you will use.
