I have been sharing the final result of our small hallway transformation this week and the number one question I’ve gotten from my Instagram page is “WHERE CAN I GET THOSE KNOBS?”
And I get it. I ordered three different variations of HIEMEY’s Satin Brass Knobs for my hallway refresh: the Clear Glass Crystal Door Knob for my bathroom, the passage knobs for my children’s bedrooms and the linen closet, and the privacy knobs for the primary bedroom. When those gorgeous brass door knobs got delivered, I ripped open the packaging and I was even more smitten with them than I was when I first locked eyes on them online. They’re so sturdy, heavyweight, and well made. The color is exactly what I was looking for and the way it looks against the white trim detailing and the wallpaper is just perfection.
My kids are able to turn the knobs easily (8, 6, and 3 years old) and they close smoothly. And, also speaking of kids, they also have withstood some close calls with scratches from my sweet little angels! When turning a knob with a fork in hand, not a single scratch to be had. *And you can imagine my sheer panic watching it as it skimmed right across the front of the knob.* Durability and the ability to last is key in our household and these door knobs have already shown they can withstand more than the average piece.
After installation, I did do a bit of painting around the door knobs and any excess paint wiped easily away from these knobs. I would call these very easy to clean, but even better than that, they aren’t showing fingerprints with use. I call that an even bigger win!
The knobs are a satin brass which gives a good rich gold color that contrasts so beautifully against the color of your door. I would say these would look better against a painted door more so than a stained door, but that is all up to the color of your stain. Possibly a dark stain would contrast well, but it would need to be tested to be sure you’ve got the look you are trying to achieve.
The way it contrasts against my SW Alabaster doors is so elegant, classic and beautiful. A simple and cost-efficient way to upgrade your interior doors that you can do in under an hour to make an impactful change to your space! And with all of these knobs running under $50, it’s one that is definitely worth it!
Still looking for more options? I’ve rounded up my favorite brass door knobs on the market for you to shop. There’s something at every price point and look.
