Architectural ironmongery plays an important role in everyone’s day-to-day life – from operating doors to closing windows, architectural ironmongery is present. Whilst it is often overlooked and even sometimes pushed to the end of decorating projects, we believe it should be given some thought in advance.

So, what is architectural ironmongery exactly? Everything from door handles to door hinges and door locks. These products make a building more secure and accessible whilst adding a decorative element which can seamlessly tie-in your whole property’s style.

Architectural ironmongery comes in all kinds of designs and finishes, and when chosen correctly, architectural ironmongery can give your property that special touch it requires.

If you are not sure which ironmongery design and finish will suit your property, we’re here to help. We’ve put together some of the most popular interior designs and will show you how our ironmongery products will work with each one.

1. Modern Design

Modern interior design features sleek, clean and crisp lines as well as a simple colour palette. In major cities, the modern interior design is many times fused with others, including minimalism, glamorous chic and more. Some of our modern and elegant ironmongery includes matte black knurled lever handles, matte black bathroom turn and release locks, stainless steel concealed hinges and rose gold kitchen cabinet handles.

2. Industrial Design

Industrial interior design draws its style from warehouses and urban lofts, where unfinished and exposed materials are viewed as stylish and elegant, including exposed wood and brick.

If this is the look you want to achieve, our From the Anvil collection will be the perfect choice. It features hand forged ironmongery products including steel house numbers, black parliament hinges, pewter lever handles on backplate and industrial nickel pendant light.

3. Rustic Design

Think cottage or farmhouse – a cabin-inspired interior décor that is characterized by soft tones, distressed wood and various greeneries. Some of our ironmongery products that would fit this aesthetic include black Japanned cast cabin hook and eye, black Celtic double robe hooks, black handrail brackets and black cup cabinet handles.

4. Bohemian Design

Bohemian homes merge various styles, combining different designs, patterns, textures and finishes to create an eclectic and carefree design. For this style, choose eye-catching hardware such as satin brass knurled lever handles, polished brass t bar cabinet handles, brass antique handrail brackets and antique brass overhead door closers.

5. Traditional Design

Traditional interior design combines classic details with rich colour palettes, various textures and an abundance of accessories to create a timelessly elegant aesthetic. Anything from aged brass reeded casement window stays and aged brass large cupboard knobs to Georgian square mortice knobs and polished brass lion’s head door knockers will suit a traditional design.
