Satin nickel Bauhaus, from the front door in

One clean, architectural lever on every door: on roses inside, on a bathroom plate upstairs and on a multipoint plate for the front door.

A 1960s house opened up and remodelled, with large porcelain tiles running through the ground floor, warm white walls and plain flush doors. Every handle is the Bauhaus lever in satin nickel: a flat, square-cut arm that turns into a round grip, which reads as modern without being cold. Indoors it sits on small round roses, upstairs on a bathroom plate with a turn, and on the anthracite composite front door the same lever comes on a long multipoint plate.

The front door can match too

Front door handles are usually chosen separately and end up a different style to everything inside. The Bauhaus range includes a multipoint handle for composite and uPVC doors, so the first handle you touch when you come home is the same shape as the rest of the house.

Why satin nickel

Satin nickel is a brushed finish with a slightly warm, soft grey tone. It looks less clinical than chrome against warm whites and oak, and it hides fingerprints well, which matters on doors used dozens of times a day.

Square or round rose

The standard Bauhaus lever sits on a round rose. If your house has crisp square detailing, such as square-edged architraves or skirtings, the version on a square rose follows those lines.

Planning notes

Check the multipoint handing

Multipoint handles are sold left or right handed. Stand outside facing the door: if the hinges are on the right, the handle is on the left, and you need the right-hand version. Check the screw centres and spindle-to-cylinder distance against your old handle.

Bathroom handles

The bathroom version has the turn on the same plate as the lever, which is neater than a separate turn and needs a bathroom lock with matching centres.

Floor stops on porcelain

Where doors open against glass or have no skirting to stop on, a hooded floor stop holds the door without marking the wall. Drill porcelain tiles with a tile bit.

A knocker for a composite door

A slim contemporary knocker in the same satin nickel finishes the outside of the front door without looking traditional.
