Choosing the Right Grips for Your Doors

Okay, I never thought I'd care this much about what I grab to open a door, but here we are. I’m redoing a couple rooms and now I’m stuck on picking out, uh, handles? Knobs? Levers? There’s way too many options. Anyone have a favorite style or brand that actually holds up over time (and doesn’t look super dated in a year)? Bonus points if they’re easy to clean—my kids are sticky monsters. Any regrets or things you wish you’d known before swapping yours out?

Honestly, I get the appeal of mixing finishes, but sometimes it can look a bit haphazard if you’re not careful. I’ve seen homes where the contrast feels intentional and others where it just looks like leftovers from different renovations. I do like the idea of fingerprints and smudges making a place feel lived-in, though—perfection can feel sterile. There’s definitely a balance between curated chaos and just plain chaos...
