Get A Handle: Where To Buy Excellent Hardware

Matilda Goad, queen of the scalloped edged, is known for her fresh, colourful takes on country classics which lift any room they grace. That same dedication to prettiness and joy is woven through her hardware, which is bright, dynamic and beautiful.

Swedish designer Beata Heuman believes that ‘every room should sing’; so much so, in fact, that she wrote a best-selling book entitled exactly that. Her hardware, which manages to be both simple and playful, helps immeasurably in that pursuit.

Now a high street stalwart, American brand, Anthropologie began life in 1992 in Pennsylvania. We love that it has never lost its dedication to working collaboratively with designers, showcasing a multiplicity of styles, but always with a bohemian sensibility at its core. Its hardware collection is in keeping with the rest: expect colour, fun and creativity. #

Rowen & Wren started life in 2011 with an aim to deliver ‘sublime simplicity and sustainable craftsmanship’. The company’s hardware exemplifies this philosophy: this is the go-to brand for hardworking, undemonstrative heroes, available in brass, bronze, nickel and oak finishes.

Superfront’s mission is to allow more people to surround themselves with excellent design – but without having to spend eye-watering amounts to achieve it. In 2011, the duo behind the company came up with the idea of creating ready-to-go additions to fit IKEA pieces, designed to elevate the flatpack giant’s creations at a reasonable price, but – crucially – without the need to be a DIY pro. You can buy new cupboard doors, new legs, new counters – and, of course, hardware. Genius, no?

At Grace & Glory Home, you will find architectural hardware created as a result of its founders’ many years spent renovating properties. Simple, fresh and functional, these pieces work beautifully well and are ideally suited to contemporary style period homes.

When they were renovating their own houses, co-founders Annie and Tom set to trying to transform a pile of reclaimed wooden planks into fresh original furniture. Where they struggled, was in finding affordable but design-led hardware to complete the look. Et voila, Plank Hardware was formed to fill that gap.
