Get Lucky with Home Updates: Door Hardware

Which hardware would you choose?

If you are thinking about selling your home (or need a project), there are a number of small updates that you can do to increase your home’s resale value. This month at BAFS Real Estate, we are focusing on those changes, ranging from the very small to mid-size updates that can update your home with minimal effort. 

In the past, we have focused on how changing out the hardware in your bathroom or kitchen cabinets can make a huge impact in aesthetics. The same is true of your doorknobs and hinges. If you are going for a farmhouse look, swap out your old knobs for matte black. If you prefer a more modern look, brass has recently received a facelift that is both cool and glamorous.

If you are interesting in tackling this project but not sure what kind of door hardware to choose? Here is what we use in our homes: 

All you need to remember is that after you determine your new look, simply make sure that your hinges and your new hardware match in color to keep the look consistent throughout your home. Buying your new door hardware in bulk will not only help maintain consistency but will also help your wallet. Purchasing each knob individually can add up real quick and may result in a more expensive price tag than originally intended.

Remember that in home decor, the smallest changes can make a big impact in the look and feel in your home. Switching out your door hardware can take a dated door to a fresh and inviting one.
