Satin Chrome Lever on Rose

Whenever you are redecorating a room in your house, it is vital to pay attention to the smallest details in order to get the finished result just right. Door handles are a key part of this, and choosing the right ones can make all the difference between a great room design and an outstanding one.  For many modern designs, chrome handles are the perfect accompaniment.  But don’t assume that a standard chrome handle is all you have to choose from – as you will see from our extensive selection we can offer you every type of finishing touch you could want.

Art Deco Inspired Handles

For example, if you like the art deco look you would no doubt appreciate the styling of a number of lever handles, which include cubic and stepped edge features, synonymous with art deco design. If straight lines are important to the room design you might want to incorporate a straight lever handle or even think about a lever on a square rose. In comparison we also have a great deal of shaped and curved lever handle sets, which would finish off any room in a contemporary or traditional style.

In fact if you are struggling for inspiration to redecorate a room, why not take your cue from our chrome handles to start with?  If you spot a pair you particularly like they may inspire you to decorate the rest of the room in a certain way.  For instance many chrome handles are available in either a satin or polished finish.  Would you prefer a brighter shinier finish to your handles – and indeed the rest of your décor – or would a more muted finish be more applicable to your needs? In fact if you are undecided why not look at our range of dual finish chrome handles, which encompass the best of both!

In some cases room design may centre on what is actually in the room for example, a certain piece of furniture like a sofa or dining room table. If this is the aim then there are a few handles which may bring everything in the room together. If wooden furniture is the predominant feature then you might wish to consider our Havana or Cuba lever handle sets, or if it is leather you are wishing to compliment then why not consider the Ascot lever handle set. Perhaps glass may feature heavily in a room and what better to finish it off than with a glass and chrome lever on rose.

As always our online range is just a fraction of what we sell, some of our more popular levers are bespoke products made to order by the very best British manufacturers. Due to delivery times, costs and specification of these door handles we would prefer to discuss them with you before you order,  so they are not yet available for instant purchase online. If you are looking for a more bespoke Art Deco door handle or one offered in a more unusual finish such as antique brass, bronze or nickel, please telephone us on 01344 876955 or our freephone number above.

British Bespoke Art Deco

Empire State & Chrysler Buildings

Art Deco was a hugely popular design movement in the 1920′s and 1930′s, which has also had a number of resurgences over the years. The design took many aspects from cubism and futurism and used geometric shapes, stepped forms and sweeping curves. Art Deco was seen to be glamorous, elegant, functional and modern. The influence of the Art Deco movement can be seen all over the world in architecture, interior design an industrial design, some prime examples include the Empire State and Chrysler building in New York city and the interior of the Queen Mary ocean liner.
