Doorknobs - An Inexpensive Decorating Solution

Door knobs play a significant role throughout your home, and deserve a second look.
Ordinary doorknobs that are merely functional can be boring and add nothing to the overall appearance of the furniture or your room.
Even if you cannot afford to completely remodel, just the addition of new and decorative door knobs will make it seem that you have.
Door knobs can serve multiple purposes, depending on how they are being used.
Obviously, the most important purpose of a door knob is its main one, to facilitate the opening of the door.
Since the door knob has such a vital function, it can at least be dressed up to be decorative as well.
Every door needs some type of door knob.
From large entry doors to room doors to cabinet doors to drawers to jewelry boxes..
...
all doors need a knob.
If you were to go room to room through your home and count the number of door knobs present, you would be amazed at how much more decorating you can do!! Starting with your entry door, examine the type of door knob that is currently in place.
Most likely, it is simply a functional knob that was purchased at the local hardware store.
While there is nothing wrong with a functional knob, you can really have a lot of fun by installing a more decorative door knob that will make your entry door memorable.
Southwest styles, colonial styles, artistic styles and more can add an elegant look to your entry door.
You may wish to expand the decorative touch by adding accenting hardware, including door knockers, for a unique look.
Inside your home, every room has the possibility of a door knob upgrade.
Glass knobs, crystal knobs, and porcelain knobs are all choices that will bring function and beauty together in one door.
Brass door knobs, crafted with swirls, sunbursts and Helios, bring a classic appearance.
Adding decorative back plates will accent your choice of door knobs, showing off the style and design you have selected.
What about the cabinets in your home? From the bathroom to the kitchen, you have probably invested a great deal into the appearance of your cabinets.
Choosing the style and finish of the cabinets is not where remodeling ends.
Adding ornamental doorknobs that continue a theme in the room's decorative style adds an extra personal touch.
Bathrooms that have a seaside theme can be enhanced by installing lighthouse doorknobs, sea shell door knobs or sea life door knobs.
In children's bedrooms and playrooms, it is easy to integrate the common theme into cabinets, dressers, and end tables.
Teddy bear doorknobs, sport theme door knobs, and animal door knobs can add a fun and whimsical flair that will delight your child and enliven the atmosphere of the room.
Kitchen cabinets and hutches are easily brightened through the addition of painted porcelain, glass or other decorative knobs.
Add that decorative touch to your entire home by remodeling doorknobs.
A functional feature that largely goes overlooked, decorative door knobs can change the appearance of your home with much less expense than redecorating the entire rooms.
