Black door handle or gold handle: which one to choose?

Are you torn between a black door handle or a gold handle? Compare the models and the effect of elegant black against the flamboyance of the gold handle!

In decoration, black is a colour that embodies elegance and chic. Intense and understated, black has the power to highlight other shades. Gold, a precious metal, evokes wealth, luxury and opulence. To be used sparingly, the gold effect depends on the colour it is paired with.

Pairing black and gold is like combining fire and water. These colour contrasts are found in the Art Deco style, which loves to blend black and gold.

This comparison is here to help you choose! You will be able to compare the look of a black door handle with that of the gold handle! Essential for getting a clear idea of your future designer décor! 

1. Black door handle or gold handle? Which one to choose?

The great advantage of black is that it goes with all other colours. You will have no difficulty integrating your new black handles into your décor (furniture, decorative objects…) whether classic or contemporary. The gold handle may seem less neutral than the black one, but if you opt for a matt gold finish the effect will be very similar! 

You have such a wide choice of finishes and colours that it is nevertheless useful to compare with other colours to be sure of the result you will achieve!
