While often overlooked, the finishes and styles of hardware, homeware, and lighting can completely transform the look, feel, and functionality of a space. Therefore, when planning a project, we recommend taking your preferences into account as early as possible.
In this blog, we guide you through the Ironmongery Journey, which highlights some of the most important considerations within any typical new build or renovation project. Whether you're redesigning your living room or updating your kitchen, the right hardware can make all the difference.

### **1. Windows & External Doors**
When renovating a property, external doors and windows need to be ordered well in advance to fit the planned reveals or gaps left in the building frame. Many people don’t realize that you can select your window and door hardware at this stage – you don’t have to settle for the limited choices often provided by manufacturers. Choosing high-quality handles, hinges, and hardware is a fantastic way to enhance your joinery and add a personal touch.
If you’ve already installed your external doors and windows, don’t worry – it’s straightforward to retrofit new hardware at any point during your renovation. A fresh coat of paint and updated hardware can give your property an instant makeover.

### **2. Internal Doors**
Internal doors can either be custom-made or purchased ready-made. Just like external windows and doors, accessorizing your interior doors with the right paint, stain, and ironmongery can significantly affect the overall look and feel of a space.
A door knob, lever handle, or latch is usually the focal point of an internal door, but it's also crucial to consider matching accessories such as hinges, door stops, thumbturns, and escutcheons. Opt for a style and finish that can be used across all door types, with complementary accessories available.
For wardrobe, cupboard, and sliding doors, matching hardware is essential if you want a cohesive look. Our extensive range of ironmongery allows you to outfit your entire property with coordinated hardware.

### **3. Kitchens & Cabinetry**
Similar to external doors and windows, kitchens are typically ordered weeks before installation. You’re not restricted to the hardware options provided by your manufacturer; you can order your hardware separately and ask your joiner to install it during the fitting process. Kitchen hardware plays a significant role in both the aesthetics and functionality of the space, so it’s important to carefully consider the styles and finishes.
Even after installation, your kitchen hardware can easily be changed. A new coat of paint and updated ironmongery can breathe new life into your kitchen without requiring a full renovation.

### **4. Ancillaries & Accessories**
Practical items like curtain rods, shelf brackets, hooks, and door stops should not only be functional but also stylish and high-quality. Match these items with the style and finish of your door, window, and cabinet hardware to create a harmonious aesthetic throughout your home.
Items such as hooks and shelf brackets can be added at any stage of your project and are an excellent way to organize your space while adding character and a sense of quality. Experimenting with multifunctional uses can also bring a touch of creativity and fun to your interior.

### **5. Lighting**
Lighting strikes a delicate balance between form and function. It should be carefully considered from the very beginning of your renovation or build project because it has a profound impact on a space. From statement pendants to ceiling spotlights, wall lights, and cluster pendants, the design and placement of lighting will dramatically alter the ambiance of a room.
Choose styles that are visually appealing and meet the functional needs of your home. Opt for base materials similar to your ironmongery, and pendant colors that complement accents in your home. With our bespoke service, each pendant light can be made-to-order and customized to your specifications. Learn more about our Bespoke Service [here](#).

The final step is adding the finishing touches to your space. Investing in premium pieces will ensure your home feels elegant and timeless, lasting for generations. Additionally, regularly updating your home and garden accessories can refresh the feel and functionality of your space.
To achieve a truly high-end look, coordinate the styles and finishes of your home and garden accessories with your hardware and lighting.
By following the steps outlined in this Ironmongery Journey, you can create a space that feels refined and thoughtfully designed.
