Stone Knobs - Stylish Home Decor
If you have been at the hardware store looking at possible ways to dress up or change up your home, one of the things you may have come across are stone door knobs. Stone knobs can be stunning pieces of hardware to add to your home, but you may be wondering just how you can get stone knobs worked into your home decor. Well, chances are you have at least one room in your home with a decorative style that will suit these particular pieces of hardware. Here's a look at some of the décor styles that are well suited to stone knobs: Neoclassical - Neoclassical décor is a decorative style that harkens back to the days of ancient Rome and Greece. Think about what things looked like back then. Sculpture was king. This was an era when beautiful things were crafted out of stone from buildings to sculptures and furniture. So why not take this one step further. If you have a room filled with neoclassical furniture why not dress up the doors as well with a set of stone knobs that look like they may have been an artist's side project. Victorian - If you have a Victorian room or theme in your home, you will have no problem incorporating stone knobs. In this case, you should look for stone knobs that have a bit of a marble feel to them. Since much of the décor of the Victorian era was made out of marble, having knobs that look like they are marble will perfectly fit into the scene. If you really want to set the mood, you may want to put these pieces of hardware on the door leading into the room as well. That way, as people touch the knob and feel the cool stone on their skin they are already getting a feel for what to expect once they step over the threshold. Modern and Contemporary - If you are a big fan of modern and contemporary décor, you may have not thought of the little details like the knobs that are in a room when it comes to decorating. For the most part when people think of modern or contemporary décor they think of the larger furniture pieces and otherwise leave a room pretty plain. But adding a little something to the knobs in the room is not a bad idea. Some stone knobs look as if they have been sculpted by an artist, which makes them a perfect fit for a contemporary or modern location. Country- Believe it or not, you may even be able to incorporate stone knobs into a country themed home. Most people think of wood when it comes to country themes, but some stone can fit in too. After all, this was a time when people were using the resources around them to make their homes and livelihood, why not stone? Look for knobs that are less showy and seem like they could have been made by a farm craftsman to do the job.
