If you’re looking for a simple way to make a huge difference in your home’s interior design, I can’t think of many things better than installing some crystal door knobs. They are elegant, beautiful, and absolutely stunning. In this post I want to share with you why this is, and how to get the most out of them in your home.
Most crystal door knobs are made from leaded glass, which gives them a flawless clarity that isn’t found in plastic or generic door knobs. They are usually spherical or diamond shaped, come in a rainbow of colors, and are crystal clear. These shapes lead to knobs that absolutely “pop” from the door and look great, without being gaudy.
The cool thing about these knobs is that they’re been around for hundreds of years, and many of the old ones are still completely functional. Finding vintage door knobs usually starts at the antique store, but there it can be hard to find a matching set. Crystal door knobs don’t necessarily have to match in your home, and sometimes it looks better when they don’t, so you may be able to find some creative knobs at fantastic prices by shopping around the antique store scene.
Getting the most from your door knobs will usually mean installing them in high traffic areas where they can be seen. This is usually the hallway on bedroom and bathroom doors, but can be anywhere that people hang out in your home. Another cool trick is to install diamond shaped knobs in sunny rooms. Here they will create a prism effect and shiny beautiful light all over your house, and that effect is compounded when you have colored crystal knobs.
Crystal door knobs are a timeless and stunning addition to any home. Take advice from the tips discussed above to get the most out of them in your home.
