Importance 7 tips to pick the best interior hardware design

Picking the Right Interior Hardware Fittings
2

• The furniture hardware in our homes is like the
  invisible genie. From the small nuts and bolts to
  the bigger pull-outs and deadbolts, these are the
  pieces that put together our house, put the
  different elements together, give them a shape,
  attach them to the house and then put it all
  under a lock and key! These are the little pieces
  that are holding together the bigger structure
  and keeping it all secure.
• Obviously then we must take a little care to pick
  the right interior hardware fittings for our
  property. While the basics, like nuts bolts and
  hinges will largely be decided upon by the
  carpenter, other visible pieces will need out
  input. This is because the visible fittings are
  not just about function. These fittings have a
  very visible aesthetic impact. These little
  details can make all the difference when it comes
  to creating a look.

Tips

• Make a list
• This is always a great tip when shopping for the
  home, even if it is to buy hardware! Make a list
  of every piece you need and where it will go.
  This is important not just because you do not
  want to run out of latches for the last door, but
  because that last latch might just be the last
  one in that design! You do not want to rush to
  the store at the last minute only to realise that
  they are no longer carrying your line.
• Invest in the best
• We dont necessarily mean that you need to rush
  out and buy the most expensive brand around.
  Instead, look for a material that will last the
  test of time or the best and give you the best
  value for money. Certain materials like stainless
  steel, brass and porcelain are considered the
  best in style, function or looks.

• Try to always look for the best in your budget.
  Do not be fooled into looking for the cheapest.
  The best will always give you value that will
  last much longer.
• Location
• Where the interior hardware fittings will go does
  make a lot of difference. Some areas of the house
  are more susceptible to wear tear or corrosion.
  For instance, bathrooms have a high moisture
  content, kitchen fittings can get greasy and the
  backyard will be exposed to more than one
  corrosive element.
• It is perfectly acceptable to switch to a
  different hardware that is suited to these
  special locations.

• Check the working
• Always check the working of the pieces before you
  buy them, especially when it comes to doorknobs,
  deadbolts, locks and latches hardware that
  involve movement. Is the knob moving smoothly?
  Can you turn the key with ease? A less than
  smooth action is a matter of concern. It means
  that there is a fault somewhere. In most cases,
  these little faults blow up to be major headaches
  in no time.
• Sync with your style
• For some people it is important to confirm to an
  overall style of the house. Getting the hardware
  right is the kind of little detail that makes for
  interesting decor statements. Fortunately, today
  we have a number of furniture fittings
  manufacturers in India who are experimenting with
  new styles and materials. This means that you are
  bound to find something that blends with your
  style. For instance, look for ceramic pull-out
  for drawers if you are designing an ethnic-styled
  home.

• Looks do matter
• Interior hardware fittings are visible parts of
  your furniture and their look will contribute to
  the overall look of your furniture and by
  extension, the house. So, make sure that you
  actually like the way they look. This is why we
  recommend a personal choice even if you have a
  carpenter building the rest. You want a design
  that appeals to you and which looks attractive.
  You can even try experimental designs to bring a
  little edge.
•  
• Ease of availability
• Although there is much to recommend personalised
  hardware fittings, from a practical viewpoint it
  would be wiser to look for standard easy-to-buy
  hardware. This is because you can easily buy a
  replacement in case of any faulty part. If you do
  go for specially commissioned pieces, make sure
  you buy plenty of spare.

• Interior hardware fittings add to overall look of
  our house.
• So, invest in the best, check that they are in
  fine working order and buy pieces that appeal to
  your own style sense.
