How to Choose Hardware for High-end Office Spaces

Hardware may be subtle in detail, but often it is the biggest impact in spaces. Choosing the correct office door handles, cabinet knobs, pull bars and door stops creates an impression of attention to detail that beautifully adds the finishing touch to your design. Hardware is ideal for use in high-end offices such as executive suites, co-working spaces and hospitality offices where durability is essential. Read further to discover how to choose the correct hardware for your space.



Choosing the Right Hardware for your Office Interior


Our extensive collection of hardware fits seamlessly into a wide range of interior aesthetics from minimal modern to traditional elegance. Discover which hardware styles are suitable for your office interior.



Modern Minimal


Minimalist office environments are typically bright, open-plan designs with monochromatic palettes, concealed storage, and a focus on material integrity. Here, hardware should disappear into the architecture while still delivering tactile surfaces and quality performance.

In these settings, finishes such as matte black and brushed stainless work well. Matte black adds contrast to neutral walls or light wood cabinets such as bathroom vanity units. In comparison, brushed stainless delivers a clean, contemporary look that is ideal for high-traffic office doors and cabinetry.

Textures play a subtle yet significant role in offices. Knurled detailing on office door handles or cabinet pull handles introduces an industrial touch which also adds grip and depth without overpowering the aesthetic of a space. To maintain the minimalist appeal, hardware with smooth surfaces ensure a seamless aesthetic with no visual disruption. Our Luxe knurled door handles detail intricate knurling inspired by the golden standard in cars — Bentley — adding ultimate luxe and sufficient grip to your furniture.





Traditional


For spaces rooted in heritage — such as financial institutions or boardroom suites — this design aesthetic focuses on richness, symmetry and attention to detail. These interiors often feature panelled walls, darker wood tones, and decorative cabinets, all of which demand office cabinet handles and door hardware that complements their formality.

In these office spaces, our aged bronze and polished nickel finishes offer timeless elegance. Aged bronze, is renowned for its warm undertones, rustic character and rich charm, that harmonises beautifully with walnut or oak decor. Polished nickel, on the other hand, provides a clean, radiant contrast against darker materials, catching ambient light and elevating the overall setting.

Fluted and scalloped textures are ideal for traditional interiors, echoing classical architectural motifs while adding depth. Office cabinet handles and knobs with intricate fluted detail and cup handles with gentle scalloping add cohesion and elegant detail to a formal layout.





Transitional


This type of office design reflects the balance between past and present — combining classic elements with modern touches to create a warm, inviting and flexible workspace. This aesthetic is increasingly popular in boutique creative firms, luxury real estate offices and co-working environments that aim to feel elevated yet approachable.

Within this style, select hardware in brushed gold and polished nickel, as brushed gold brings a soft, luxury warmth to spaces and is a versatile finish that transcends interior trends. It pairs beautifully with light woods, natural stone and neutral colour palettes. However, polished nickel is also a timeless choice, offering a sophisticated sheen that ties traditional and modern elements together.

In terms of texture, fluted accents and smooth, softened profiles work well in transitional settings, offering enough visual interest without looking too traditional and ornate. Our Dali fluted furniture knobs, in brushed gold, are a simplistic design enhanced by a subtle touch of fluted texture, making them an ideal choice for storage and daily use.





What to Consider when Choosing Hardware for Commercial Offices


In high-end commercial interiors, hardware has the ability to define how a space feels and performs. Offices are high-use environments, with constant footfall, daily opening and closing of cabinetry, and repeated contact with door furniture. Selecting the correct hardware is both an aesthetic and practical consideration. Explore reasons you should consider before investing in hardware for your office.



Durability


Unlike residential settings, commercial spaces are subject to far more frequent and often forceful use. Our hardware is crafted from solid brass and stainless steel — two materials renowned for their resilience, durability and resistance to corrosion. These superior materials ensure that handles, hinges, and pulls not only retain their appearance over the years, but also maintain flawless function, even under constant use. As a testament to the outstanding quality of Lusso’s hardware, the hardware pieces are covered by a 15 year guarantee.





Functionality


In professional environments, functionality is essential to enhance user experience. Poorly installed hardware can lead to unnecessary wear on doors and user frustration which undermine the perceived quality of a workplace. Our door handles are expertly designed with accessible shapes to suit a natural grip, reducing wear and tear over repetitive use, while hinges feature 4 bearings for smooth movement.





Visual Consistency


Hardware should be one of the most important elements of your office. Matching finishes, textures and details across all your pieces reinforces the architectural design of your space. Interior designers can achieve a cohesive aesthetic across an entire workspace with our extensive range of office door handles, cabinet knobs, and pull handles. For example, a matte black finish used on a meeting room door handle can be echoed on nearby storage pull handles, creating an intentional and seamless flow.  This consistency enhances the appearance of the office, supports brand alignment and ensures that every interaction feels considered.
