The elegance of a handle on an oval rose
A door handle on an oval rose is an attractive, practical choice for any homeowner, decorator or builder looking to create a stylish interior.
The benefits of a handle on an oval rose
Among the different door-handle styles, a handle on an oval rose stands out for its originality, elegance and on-trend look. Interior handles on a square rose and round handles are very common; an oval handle brings a more distinctive touch to your décor. Ergonomic and contemporary, oval handles give all your interior doors a chic finishing touch, whether they are rustic doors or wooden sliding doors!
Which type of oval handle should you choose?
Door hardware includes a wide range of handles with oval backplates: lever handles on oval roses, recessed handles for sliding doors, door knobs, window handles and even furniture handles, such as drawer knobs and cupboard door handles.
Designers use a wide variety of materials to create beautiful door handles. Polished brass, chrome, nickel and Zamak (an aluminium and zinc alloy) offer different finishes to suit your home décor. Oval roses are also available in porcelain, ceramic, crystal, wrought iron and aged bronze for a rustic effect. Nylon, aluminium and stainless steel add a modern touch to a wooden door. Pocket sliding-door handles, recessed cupboard handles and drawer handles are also available in matching finishes to complement your furniture and interior décor. Furniture hardware can now be matched to interior door handles for a harmonious look.
What style of interior suits an oval rose?
Oval roses are an ideal choice for classic, rustic and modern designer doors. A distinctive door fits beautifully into a contemporary setting.
A gold-coloured brass door handle gives the room a bright, elegant look, while stainless steel offers a satin chrome finish with a more industrial feel.
Decorative hardware comes in a wide range of finishes, including matt nickel, black steel, satin chrome, matt black, gold, golden brown, brushed stainless steel, white lacquer and matt stainless steel.
For exterior doors, you’ll find handles on oval roses for entrance doors, paired with a suitable locking system.
Oval rose: what type of door is it suitable for?
Door handles on oval roses also come in a wide variety of styles to suit different types of interior and exterior doors.
A lever handle without a lock is ideal for interior doors in the kitchen or living room. For a bedroom, choose a handle with a keyhole fitting. The entrance door handle should have a key-operated lock for optimal security. A privacy lock is better suited to a bathroom or toilet door. Door locks can also be matched to the handle and backplate for an elegant finish. The centres are another essential consideration when choosing an oval door handle: this is the distance between the handle and the lock. Sets comprising a lever handle and a lock or lock cylinder help give every door a stylish look.
With so many materials and finishes available, it’s easy to find the oval rose that suits your taste while enjoying a handle that is both practical and decorative. Fitting it requires only basic tools, particularly a screwdriver (and, less often, a drill), to assemble and secure the components: spindle, rose, lever handle and fixing screws.
The shape of a handle undeniably plays an important part in interior design. A door handle on an oval rose adds character and elegance to a modern door while helping to keep users safe. A simple designer handle on a hinged bedroom door or kitchen cabinet becomes a decorative detail you won’t want to do without! Opening the front door or closing the kitchen door becomes an everyday pleasure.
