<p data-start="250" data-end="794">I&rsquo;ve recently started paying more attention to the smaller details in home design, and one thing that caught my eye was door knobs and handles. At first, I didn&rsquo;t think something so simple could make a difference, but after seeing a few before-and-after home projects online, I&rsquo;ve realized how much of an impact quality door hardware can actually make. A simple swap from old, worn-out handles to clean, stylish ones can completely change the look and feel of a room, and it doesn&rsquo;t even cost much compared to other upgrades.

<p data-start="796" data-end="1338">I started browsing a few online stores that specialize in architectural ironmongery, and I found some amazing options for door and window hardware. They had everything from matte black and brushed chrome to antique brass and even designer finishes. It really surprised me how much variety there is in just door handles and knobs. Some of them looked modern and minimal Frelan Hardware, while others had a more classic, vintage appeal. I&rsquo;m now considering doing a full replacement across the house&mdash;starting with the main entrance and then moving room by room.



<p data-start="1340" data-end="1905">I&rsquo;m curious if anyone here has done a similar upgrade before. Did you notice a big difference after changing your door hardware? Did you go for matching styles in every room, or mix things up based on the interior design? I&rsquo;ve heard that premium hardware from dedicated ironmongery stores lasts longer and feels smoother in use, but I&rsquo;d like to know from real experiences if it&rsquo;s worth the extra cost. Also, I&rsquo;m wondering if it&rsquo;s an easy DIY job or something that usually needs a professional to install, especially when dealing with older doors or tricky fittings.
