How To
How to replace the doorknob
It would be a combination of decorative and functional that is the most effective way to replace it. A door handle is a great way to replace a doorknob that has a dull finish.
It is important to make sure that the product you choose is identical to the original and easy to use.
A shiny brass knob might be too much if other shiny finishes are already around the house. If there's no other furniture in the room, you can have it!
A more subtle option would be to find a knob that matches the existing hardware but doesn't match the overall style of the rest of the home. This option is great if you are reworking kitchen cabinets or adding new countertops to another area of your home.
You might want to keep it traditional by changing the knobs to match your handles.
