When nature inspires magnificent interior door handles!

The four founding elements of the world — air, fire, earth and water — are wonderful sources of inspiration for our interior decoration. Designers and interior decorators draw their ideas from nature to create original décors and accessories.

Surprisingly, some door handles — accessories that are in principle purely functional, serving to open and close our doors — inherit designs inspired by water, the mineral world or the animal world. Here are some interior handles that will delight nature lovers!

Aquatic-inspired door handles

Water, the element at the origin of life, naturally influences artists and designers.

Water can be found in all its forms across many decorative items. Door handles are no exception.

The round rose in chromed steel colour provides an excellent base for the stainless steel and oak lever. This interior handle stands out for the simplicity of its design for a zen and natural atmosphere 

The aquatic, animal and floral world influences the design of modern interior door handles. Roses and lever handles go beyond their initial function to become the support for motifs and decorations of natural inspiration. The aesthetics of door handles, always increasingly ergonomic, sometimes makes you forget that they are first and foremost accessories for opening an interior door. Pulling on a handle sometimes means grasping a little jewel of decorative hardware!

Go for a designer door handle! Whether in polished brass, aged bronze, white porcelain, shiny stainless steel or matt black zamak, your interior décor will be transformed! Made up of just a few spare parts (lever handle, square spindle, fixing screws), your new handles require no DIY knowledge. For the security of your exterior doors (front door in particular, as well as garage doors), you can add a locking system (with or without mortise locks) in the same finish as the handle for a perfect decorative result.
