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

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

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

Combining black and gold is like mixing water and fire. 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 to get a precise idea of your future design décor! 

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

The great advantage of black is that it can be paired with all other colours. You will have no difficulty integrating your new black handles into your décor (furniture, decorative objects…) whether it is classic or contemporary. The gold handle seems less neutral than the black handle, 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 nonetheless useful to compare with other colours to be sure of the result you will achieve!
