Once winter is over, South African homeowners tend to start on the jobs they have been putting off. They repaint walls, update kitchens and redo bathrooms. Whether those projects look finished often depends on the hardware, and especially on whether the finishes stay consistent from one room to the next. This October, Decor Handles is using its Spring Refresh Sale to encourage buyers to plan their hardware by finish. The local door and cabinet hardware specialist has been operating since 1994, and the aim is simple: door levers, cupboard pulls, hinges and bathroom fittings should look like they belong together.
Buying pieces one by one and hoping they match rarely works well. A better approach is to pick one finish first and then build a single room, or the entire house, around it. Because the Decor Handles online store sorts its products by colour and finish, planning this way is easy.
One finish, many products
Shoppers can currently browse five main finish families: matt black, matt or brushed brass, chrome or silver, brushed stainless steel, and shiny or polished brass. Each family puts door hardware, cabinet hardware and accessories in the same tone side by side. A homeowner updating a kitchen in brushed brass, for example, will find matching cupboard handles, knobs and related fittings together on one page.
Matt black is still one of the most prominent looks in the catalogue. It covers slim cupboard handles, minimalist knobs, lever handles on round or square roses, and door handles on plate with a cylinder keyhole cut-out. The brushed and matt brass selection includes slim cupboard handles in several centre-to-centre sizes, knurled bar pulls and minimalistic knobs. Chrome, stainless steel and polished brass give buyers further choice, whether their scheme leans classic or industrial.
Door handles are a natural place to begin a refresh across the whole house, because every room has at least one and people touch them daily. Decor Handles carries lever handles on rose, door handles on plate, door knobs, recessed door handles, and front door handles and pulls. It also stocks the hinges, door closers, locks, bolts and door stops that go with them. Buying all of these in one finish keeps the look consistent from the entrance right through to the bedrooms.
Cupboards, cabinets and finishing touches
Handles on kitchen and bedroom cupboards are where planning by finish shows results fastest. Replacing old cupboard pulls with a matching modern set is one of the easiest ways to transform a kitchen while keeping the existing doors and carcasses. The range takes in modern, classic and antique cupboard handles and knobs, kiddies cabinet knobs, cupboard and drawer locks, cupboard hinges, drawer slides, and cabinet brackets and supports.
The small decorative items count as well. Decor Handles stocks solid brass furniture castors, solid brass chest corners, hat and coat hooks, letterbox plates and covers, curtain tie-backs and jewellery box fittings. These are the details that make a room feel complete, whether someone is restoring an old piece of furniture or simply finishing a space properly.
A single finish for the bathroom
Bathroom vanities are an obvious place to carry a chosen finish through. The Decor Handles bathroom range includes vanities, storage units, basins and mirrors. It also covers accessories such as towel racks and holders, toilet roll holders, toothbrush holders, soap dishes, glass holders and heated towel rails, plus frameless shower hardware and glass folding door accessories, including shower seals. When the towel rail, accessories and vanity handles all share one finish, a renovated bathroom looks planned and deliberate.
Imported door hardware from Portugal and Italy
Buyers looking for something more special than everyday hardware can choose from an exclusive door handle range that Decor Handles imports from Portugal and Italy. It includes designs by Tupai and Columbo, two makers known for long-lasting solid brass hardware. Every piece uses premium materials and carries a high-quality finish. That makes the range a good fit for homeowners, designers and builders who want door hardware that is both durable and refined.
What the spring sale covers, and delivery terms
The Spring Refresh Sale includes a broad mix of categories: door handles, cupboard handles, door locks, cupboard locks, door hinges, cupboard hinges, door bolts, door stops, castor wheels, jewellery box fittings and bathroom accessories. Buyers on a tighter budget can also browse a separate clearance section of discounted stock.
Buy door handles and other hardware online and orders above R800 ship free anywhere in the country, while smaller orders carry a R120 delivery fee. Goods returned in their original packaging qualify for free exchanges, subject to the store’s policy. This means a homeowner can order one sample handle in their chosen finish, see how it looks in their own home’s light, and then place the rest of the order with confidence.
Customers who want to see and handle products before buying can visit the Decor Handles warehouse at Unit A3, 18 Plantation Road, Eastleigh, Edenvale. There are also showrooms at Shop 10, Illovo Square Shopping Centre, 3 Rivonia Road, Illovo, Sandton, and at Marine Park, 18 Marine Drive, Paarden Eiland, Cape Town.
More than thirty years of supplying hardware
Robert and Renette Perez founded Decor Handles in 1994, working out of a Jeppestown warehouse near Maboneng. At first it was mostly a wholesale operation supplying hardware stores. It has since become a full B2B and B2C business, now run by the founders’ sons, Ilan and Shimon Perez. Its customers include homeowners, designers, builders and the trade, and the team can advise on everything from choosing products to installing them.
Decor Handles also runs a regular blog with practical hardware advice, including articles on why door stops matter and how door hinges contribute to a well-built home. Homeowners planning a spring project can use those articles alongside the finish-first approach.
How to plan an October refresh around one finish
Anyone starting a project this month can follow a few simple steps. First, choose one finish for the main living areas and write it down. Next, measure the existing cupboard handles centre to centre so the new ones fit the holes already drilled. Then list every door that needs a handle, hinge or stop. Finally, use the shop-by-finish sections to put together one order, adding bathroom fittings and decorative pieces in the same tone.
