Hardware allows us to perform everyday actions without thought… such as opening doors and drawers, traveling on stairs and turning on faucets. We tend to take it for granted, as function is its primary purpose. When carefully considered as part of an overall design, however, it can offer the opportunity to elevate the ordinary into something spectacular. Shape, material, and finish decisions contribute to the beauty and longevity of the overall result.

Nickel Plated Grille and Mesh with Crystal Knobs with light painted millwork add to the feminine character of this closet.

Conversely, leather and brass suit button knobs with antique brass grill coordinate with antique brass ring pulls on draw fronts to give a masculine presence to this space.

A finely crafted handrail bracket adds character to the stairs contributing to the overall feel of the home.

Handcrafted wrought iron hardware contributes to the overall design of this front door, the first impression a guest would receive when visiting.

Thank you for allowing us to share just a glimpse of our “jewelry” collection. Please subscribe to our blog and watch for more new releases from the Glavé & Holmes Architecture Hotel & Home Studio.
