Types of metal furniture handles available from OPEN&HIDE
OPEN&HIDE offers several types of metal handles, with different assembly methods and styles. So everyone can choose the model that suits their furniture and the character of their interior.
Single-point handles are a minimalist solution that is particularly well suited to the fronts of kitchen units, chests of drawers or drawers. Their subtle appearance suits both modern and classic designs, adding elegance without dominating the other elements of the furnishings.
Two-point handles are longer and have two fixing points. They are comfortable to use, especially for large doors or wide drawers. Thanks to their shape, they are ideal for furniture with straight lines, typical of the Scandinavian or industrial style.
The third type of handle is the edge handle, which is fitted directly to the top or side edge of the front of a piece of furniture. This practical solution preserves the minimalist look of the furniture and ensures ease of use. Handles of this type are ideally suited to modern interior design, where simplicity and functionality are the order of the day.
To choose the right type of handle, you need to consider the following factors:
the size and weight of the furniture fronts
how often the furniture is used
the general style of the room and the colour scheme of the furnishings
ease of daily use for all members of the family
Thanks to the wide range of models available, it’s easy to find a product that meets everyone’s aesthetic and practical needs.
Materials and colours of metal furniture handles
Different materials are used in the manufacture of furniture handles, which determines their durability and aesthetic appeal. Aluminium is a lightweight, durable and corrosion-resistant metal, ideal for modern furniture. Black aluminium handles are also distinguished by their elegant matt finish, ideal for minimalist or industrial interiors.
Brass and copper are precious metals appreciated for their timeless character and their ability to develop a patina over time. As a result, handles made from these materials are equally suited to both classic and contemporary interiors, lending them a unique charm. Stainless steel, on the other hand, is highly resistant to moisture and mechanical damage, making it an ideal choice for kitchens and bathrooms.
The handle colours available are white, black, gold and silver. White and silver models go well with light-coloured furniture and Scandinavian or modern-style interiors. Black handles, on the other hand, provide a contrasting accent in minimalist settings or loft spaces. Gold elements are perfect for elegant, glamorous interiors or classic rooms with warm colours.
When choosing the material and colour of your handles, there are a few practical tips to bear in mind:
light colours optically enlarge the space and make it lighter.
Darker colours emphasise the character of the furniture and are less likely to become visibly dirty.
Stainless steel handles are particularly suitable for rooms exposed to damp.
Brass and copper require regular maintenance using specialist products to preserve their original appearance.
Thanks to the wide range of materials and colours available, it’s easy to adapt handles to the individual needs and design of each interior.
How do I care for the handles on my metal furniture?
To ensure that metal knobs and handles retain their attractive appearance for a long time, they need to be properly cared for. Regular care will prevent discolouration, scratches and loss of shine.
Aluminium and stainless steel handles are best cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in a mild detergent, such as diluted washing-up liquid. After washing, the surface should be carefully dried with a clean cloth to prevent staining. It is important to avoid rough sponges and aggressive chemicals, which can damage the protective layer of the metal.
Brass and copper parts require specialist preparations designed for cleaning precious metals. After applying the cleaner, the surface should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove any product residue, then dried thoroughly. When cleaning, it is advisable to follow the brushing direction of the material to avoid visible scratches.
It should also be remembered that brass and copper develop a natural patina over time. This is a reversible process: regular use of appropriate cleaning products will restore their original lustre.
By following these simple maintenance principles, your metal accessories will last and look good for many years.
