A great way to spruce up a plain or tired-looking door, cupboard or drawer is with a fabulous piece of door furniture. From classically designed doorknobs and antique-looking escutcheons to contemporary push plates and quirky handles, there's a huge selection available. We've picked a few of our favourites.
Left: This beehive escutcheon from Holloways of Ludlow is a copy of an original, antique design. Shown here in unlacquered brass, it will tarnish with age for an authentic look.
Right: The classic look of this goose-neck twister door lever from Turnstyle Designs gives it an elegant appearance and would be the perfect finishing touch for a traditional room scheme.
Top: This beautiful piece from Willow & Stone is an exact replica of an antique doorknob from a house in Edinburgh. It has a simple ebonised bun shape with pretty petal-edged brass backplates.
Left: Classic design never goes out of style, like this simple brass doorknob. For similar, try Collier Webb.
Right: Add personality with the Kalahari DK 5910 door handle from SA Baxter. Part of the Artisan Series, the handle is designed by David Scott, who blends the timeless elegance of the past with the functionally of the present.
