How to Choose the Best Door Handles & Knobs for Your Home
Selecting the ideal door hardware involves more than just matching finishes; it's about finding the balance with your home's character and ensuring lasting quality.
What to Consider When Selecting Door Handles & Knobs
- Functionality: Determine the purpose of each door. For instance, bathroom door knobs may require privacy locks meaning a mortice door knob is ideal, while cupboard door knobs might prioritise ease of access.
- Design Cohesion: Ensure that your chosen door handles complement existing fixtures and the overall interior theme.
- Material and Finish: Choosing materials that offer durability and align with your design vision are key, which is why at Pushka all handles are crafted from premium solid brass.

Expert Tips for Selecting High-Quality Door Handles
Investing in quality hardware ensures longevity and enhances your home's value.
How Do I Choose a Good Door Handle?
- Assess Usage: Understand the areas that demand sturdy, easy-to-maintain handles. All Pushka Home handles come with a clear lacquer coating to provide protection against fingerprints and to prevent oxidation to avoid tarnishing.
- Test Ergonomics: Ensure the handle feels comfortable and makes sense for your home.
- Check Compatibility: Confirm that the handle's design aligns with your door's specifications and the room's aesthetic. At Pushka we offer different sized handles bespoke to every room.
Durability & Materials
At Pushka Home, we use solid brass for all our door handles due to its durability, resistance to corrosion, and premium look. Unlike hollow alternatives, solid brass ensures strength, longevity, and a refined finish, making it an obvious choice for high-end interior hardware.
