Which black door handles for your interior?

THE BLACK DOOR HANDLE OPENS THE DOOR TO OUR INTERIORS

Why not! After all, even the «little black dress» has been at the top of fashion trends since the 1920s. However, fashion trends in clothing and interior decoration change over time. The black finish can come in several versions, namely gloss black, lacquered black, matt black, polished black (the black pearl finish for the Callas handle by Mandelli) or satin black. There is something for every taste.

Door handles have also gone through various stages of trends, from the «Italian» gold designs of the 1990s, to forged gable handles, to handles with matt silver surfaces featuring a round escutcheon, to more angular handle shapes. They have become decorative hardware.

A clear trend in recent years is minimalism… and matt black surfaces… Black interior handles are timeless and suit all door colours and virtually all types of interiors. 

They can be combined with white interior doors, classic wooden doors, or with the fashionable trend of pastel-coloured doors. Whatever your door type, the matt black finish in door hardware will be a timeless element.

1. A Classic – A black handle on a white door

The combination of black and white is a true classic and this combination never really "ages". The black handle on a white interior door is a very strong complement. You can choose fittings with a round, square, or rectangular escutcheon, or less traditional handle shapes. All our black handles are paired with escutcheons for bedroom key, cylinder key, or privacy lock.

2. A perfect match – The interior handle paired with the beauty of wood

Wood in the interior, like black and white, is a timeless classic. Whether you complement a modern interior with a wooden swing door or you «plant» a classic wooden door in a retro or vintage interior, it will always look great. If you want to keep the interior minimalist and clean, fit the wooden door with a black lever handle. Whether with classic black gable fittings or a minimalist black handle.

3. Black handles in modern interiors

Black handles stand out against shinier door leaves, forming a distinct decorative element. They pair perfectly with wood and glass. In interiors decorated in an industrial or minimalist style, in which an excess of accessories is by definition abandoned, they are an original decoration with functional value. Interestingly, the black handle will perfectly complement an interior in an eclectic, loft, post-industrial, and even retro style. For example, decorative black handles will look great on old doors. In turn, in fashionable Scandinavian arrangements, which are distinguished by a natural and light design, they will be a strong yet elegant accent, breaking the monotony of the dominant shades of grey and white.

4. The black design handle in a colourful world

Vivid colours inside "make the world move". It's no surprise — colours give an interior a sense of swing, and you can easily liven up a simple interior with colourful fabrics, accessories, or, for example, coloured doors. And what better way to preserve the elegance of an interior than by adding black interior handles to a coloured door.

5. The elegance of the modern black handle in a pastel setting

Are you afraid of bold colours? Go for pastel shades, which are hugely popular today. The subtle tones of pastels have a beneficial effect on the human psyche and can make any interior look design-led and comfortable. By combining them with simple furniture, you will achieve a very aesthetic look. Add even more elegance to pastel doors with a modern black interior door handle.
