How to pick the right door handles for your doors
Treat door handles as an accessory to your door. This should help in choosing the right style and colour for your home. So if it is an accessory to your doors you will need to look at your doors and see what kind of style they are, for example are they pine wood and simple in design, or are they white and very traditional and intricately styled? If you have a very busy door don't go for a busy door handle, choose a style that is in keeping with the doors mood but calm it down a little on the door handle otherwise it'll look too much in the room. If you have a plain door you can go all out and with a jazzy and fancy door handle.
Think about the overall theme to your home and the individual room and what will look good with the style of the door. A good tip when shopping for your door handles is to take a piece of wood the same type and colour as the door in question and put it against all the door handles to see if it goes, just as you would in choosing a set of curtains against the paint on the walls, you need to see if it will go. And don't be afraid to mix and match, it is not law that you have to have the same door handles throughout your home, if one of your rooms has a different feel to it go with the door handle that fits that, they don't all have to be the same!
From the mass amount of home improvement TV shows and interior design websites you may by now be aware that choosing decorative door handles for your home can make the world of difference. Changing your door handles could be the difference from your home being boring and plain to stylish and modern. Changing all the door handles in your home could add up to a higher price than what you were originally wanting to pay out and so it is important to follow some guidelines to find the best prices available.
Compare Prices - it sounds too obvious to point out but more often than not people will see a special deal on door handles and buy them there and then. Compare the prices of door handles to a few different stores and websites before you commit to buying somewhere, a shop may be offering 10% off but it might still be even cheaper in the door accessories shop down the street.
Buy Door Handles Online - websites tend to give a lot better prices than in store because they have less overheads and outgoings. Type 'door handles' into Google or Yahoo and visit the websites that appear in the results. Going from website shop to shop is quick and easy and you can do this at a time that is convenient for you because they are open 24 / 7 365 days a year.
Comparison Websites - taking the first point into account it's a key factor when finding a great deal on door handles to compare prices. To make this easier for you websites specialize solely in comparing products. For example go to the Kelkoo website and type into the search door handles. A list of door handles from 100s of websites will appear in a table format. You can see easily and quickly from the table which is the cheapest and you can compare 5 or so door handles to see how they differ in cost, delivery times, quality, and so on.
Bulk Buying - when shopping in store you may be able to barter with the sales person. Changing all the door handles in your home may add up to 15 or even 20 door handles, instead of buying each one individually at the set price ask if a special deal can be done because you are buying such a bulk amount.
