A new-build house where the owners swapped the plain white doors the builder fitted for natural oak veneer shaker doors. The walls are painted a warm white, the upstairs has an oatmeal wool carpet, and rattan adds texture on the landing. Satin nickel is a soft, brushed silver, so it lightens the oak without the glare of polished chrome. Every door has the same reeded knob, the bathroom has a reeded turn and release, the bedroom wardrobe has small reeded knobs to match, and a double coat hook sits by the bathroom door.

A softer silver

Satin nickel is brushed rather than polished, so it has a gentle sheen instead of a mirror shine. Next to pale oak it looks light and fresh, and it does not show fingerprints the way polished finishes do.

Why the reeding works

Fine horizontal rings run around the knob and its rose. They catch the light in thin lines, give a good grip, and add a little detail to plain shaker doors without looking fussy.

An easy upgrade for a new build

Builders often fit basic doors and chrome levers. Replacing them with oak veneer doors and one consistent set of knobs, turns and hooks makes a new house feel finished and personal.

Planning notes

Backset for knobs

Mortice knobs need a latch with a longer backset than levers, so your fingers clear the door frame. A 76mm latch suits most doors.

The bathroom door

Fit the reeded turn and release with a bathroom mortice lock. The turn goes inside, and the outside has an emergency release.

Wardrobes to match

The 32mm reeded cupboard knob is a small version of the door knob, so fitted wardrobes and bedside cabinets match the doors.

Old keyholes

If a door has a keyhole you no longer use, a reeded covered escutcheon tidies it and keeps draughts out.
