Which door handle suits which personality type? A typology for the style-conscious
The choice of a door handle may seem like a small detail in the planning of a living space, but it actually says a lot about the personality and style of the residents. Whether purist, creative or minimalist - here you can find out which door handle suits which personality type.
The purist - clarity and functionality combined
Purists love clean lines, no-frills designs and high-quality materials. Their home is characterized by structure, order and a touch of timeless elegance.
The right door handle: For purists, a door handle with a minimalist design and understated aesthetics is recommended. Stainless steel or brushed aluminum models are ideal. They not only radiate clarity, but also offer a first-class feel. Interior tip: The look is even cleaner when combined with a glass door. Satin or transparent glass surfaces emphasize the purist look.

The creative - courage for individuality
Creative personalities love to express their unique style. For them, colors, shapes and unusual designs are an expression of joie de vivre and originality.
The right door handle needs an eye-catching design or unusual material combinations. Handles in matt black or gold look provide the eye-catcher and the desired individuality. Door tip: Glass doors with textured or printed elements create additional highlights and round off the creative look.
The minimalist - less is more
Minimalists appreciate order, simplicity and a pared-down aesthetic. Their credo: "Less is more." Functionality and design must interlock seamlessly without appearing overloaded.
The right door handle: Door handles with a simple, straightforward design in unobtrusive colors such as white or silver are ideal for minimalists because they blend seamlessly into a minimalist living concept. Tip: A frameless glass door or models with discreet hardware technology perfect the overall minimalist look.

The traditionalist - timeless elegance
The traditionalist appreciates classic values and a design that is not characterized by short-lived trends. Natural materials such as wood or stone dominate his home because they radiate warmth and durability.
The matching door handle is ideally made of brass or has an antique look and brings a timeless elegance and functionality. Door tip: A door with a wooden frame or classically decorated glass details complements the look perfectly.
The technophile - smart and modern
Technophile residents love smart technologies and modern innovations. Their home is a "smart home" in which design and function are at the cutting edge of technology.
The right door handle: Electronic door handles are the perfect choice. They not only offer a contemporary design, but also intelligent functions such as contactless locking mechanisms. Techno door tip: For a futuristic ambience, the handles can be combined with a glass door made of clear or tinted glass.
