Lever handles for interior doors: Colours that shape rooms 

The colour design of doors and lever handles plays a decisive role in the effect of the room. Paler shades lend a lightness, dark colours set elegant accents and matt surfaces ensure a modern look. But how do you combine a door and a lever handle harmoniously without risking style clashes? This article provides valuable tips on colour selection and shows which design options are available for lever handles on interior doors.

Implement colour concepts in a targeted manner: Standardised design with lever handle interior doors

A well thought-through colour concept ensures a coherent interior design. In commercial or public buildings in particular, a uniform choice of colour can provide orientation and underline the design concept. For example, different wards in hospitals can be clearly separated from one another through the targeted use of colours, while colour concepts can be used in commercial areas to structure walkways or clearly highlight security areas.

Lever handles for interior doors in coordinated colours enable a consistent design, while targeted contrasts can highlight special areas. With the System 111 polyamide lever handle, HEWI offers a wide selection of colours that meet both functional and aesthetic requirements.

Courage for colour: Expressive lever handles for interior doors as a design statement

Mustard yellow – eye-catching accents with a warm radiance

Mustard yellow brings warmth and vibrancy to the room. The bold yet elegant colour nuance creates an expressive design and sets specific accents on doors. Mustard yellow unfolds its full effect in combination with neutral tones such as white, grey or anthracite in particular and gives lever handle interior doors a striking touch.

Colours with a modern and clear look

Cool and neutral colour tones lend rooms a timeless elegance and create a structured, uncluttered look. They can be combined in a variety of ways and offer both subtle and high-contrast design options. The following paragraphs show how these colours can be used specifically for lever handles on interior doors:

Pure white – timeless clarity for a pared back design

Pure white stands for minimalism and elegance. The colour creates a bright, uncluttered look and discreetly sets the scene for interior door lever handles. Especially in modern, purist room concepts, pure white ensures a clear, minimalist design that blends seamlessly into various architectural styles. System 111 in pure white emphasises this aesthetic and offers a timeless solution for sophisticated design.

Signal white – clear accents with a high degree of radiance

Signal white stands for purity and precision. The bright colour brings light into the room and creates a modern, uncluttered look. It sets clear accents, especially in minimalist or technical design concepts. Lever handles for interior doors in signal white blend harmoniously into light-coloured interiors or provide a subtle contrast to darker doors.

Light grey – understated and versatile

Light grey appears unobtrusive and balanced. The subtle colour nuance blends harmoniously into different design concepts and creates a calm, coherent atmosphere. Lever handles for interior doors in light grey combine functionality with modern aesthetics and can be effortlessly integrated into a wide range of colour schemes. This colour is particularly effective in minimalist designs or as a connecting element between light and dark tones.

Stone grey – striking and inspired by nature

Stone grey conveys stability and durability. The powerful colour nuance is reminiscent of natural rock formations and gives lever handle interior doors a robust, architectural appearance. Particularly in combination with clear lines and structured surfaces, stone grey blends seamlessly into modern building concepts and underlines a reduced but expressive design.

Anthracite grey – stylish depth with a modern touch

Dark tones such as anthracite grey lend rooms a particular depth and look elegant and modern at the same time. Interior door lever handles in this colour set discreet but effective accents and blend harmoniously into minimalist design concepts. Depending on how the light falls, the handles have a subtle shimmer that gives the surface a lively appearance and further enhances the design.

Jet black – clear lines and uncompromising elegance

Dark colour tones create a particular depth and provide targeted contrasts in interior design. Jet black stands for precision and minimalism and blends seamlessly into modern architecture. An exciting dynamic is created, particularly in combination with light-coloured doors, while an all-dark concept creates an elegant, understated effect. System 111 in jet black emphasises this clarity – a black lever handle thus becomes a style-defining detail.

Matt edition – elegant restraint with a special feel

Matt surfaces give lever handles a velvety feel and reduce light reflections, giving them a particularly elegant appearance. System 111 in the matt edition combines these material properties with a carefully coordinated colour palette. Variants such as door lever handles in matt black, matt signal white or matt anthracite grey blend harmoniously into modern architectural concepts and emphasise a clear, minimalist design.
