VICTORIAN STYLE DOOR HANDLES

Victorian homes were built to impress, and are still impressive today. Wraparound porches complete with elaborate trim painted in contrasting colors and stained-glass windows all come to mind when picturing Victorian style homes.
The flat sharp finish of the black door lever handle is in accordance with Victorian design rules of painting the trim in a distinct different color than the siding for emphasis. The black door lever meshes well the Victorian style architecture of adding patterns, shapes and details to create a visual effect that is both imaginative and impressive.

CONTEMPORARY DOOR LEVERS

Contemporary architecture emerged from the rejection of typical architectural trends. It ushered in a creative and completely new way of thinking about space and functionality, with an inclination to abandon the norm, therefore it is no surprise that contemporary homes always stand out from the crowds.
With its desire to create harmony between structure and nature, the satin nickel door levers are a perfect complement to the large plate glass walls or windows notable in contemporary homes.
The satin nickel blackened, or black painted door levers create a completely different yet vastly appealing look and work very well with the open floor plan and minimal walls that epitomizes the comfortable and relaxed atmosphere in the contemporary home.
