When you’re shopping for new handles as part of a restaurant interior design project in London you need to make sure that these small touches match the overall aesthetic of the space.
While functionality is, of course, paramount, you shouldn’t compromise on design. After all, your guests will notice that one element of the design feels slightly off even if they can’t articulate what the inconsistency is.
So, what do you need to consider when choosing door handles for your restaurant?
This should go without saying, but it really is the foundation of why you have handles in the first place.
When it comes to handles on bathroom doors, for instance, this is paramount. And, as the Sustainable Restaurant Association notes, there is no reason why these handles can’t be stylish as well as functional. For ease of use, lever door handles often win.
This becomes an aesthetic choice to tie in with the rest of your restaurant’s interior, but in more and more settings brushed metals and matte black fixtures like handles are rising in popularity.
Brass and even smoked bronze are excellent alternatives to the more traditional – and less stylish – shiny silver.
They offer a sense of understated elegance while also being highly practical. One consideration is a finish that is resistant to fingerprints, as this will ensure they look good even during the busiest periods.
Handles, particularly on bathroom doors, are touched by dozens, if not hundreds, of hands every day. That means they need to be easy to clean, ideally with a simple wipe down to ensure that your staff can keep on top of this duty throughout a busy shift.
One final tip: go for consistency. Make sure you have the same kinds of handles throughout your restaurant to tie the space together, so that your whole interior design feels cohesive.
