In planning the design of your home, it is easy to concentrate on the larger elements first—sofas, wall colours, or lighting. Have you noticed that the smaller, seemingly insignificant elements can sometimes have the most impact?
Mindful interiors encourage us to slow down and select the more subtle pieces that will contribute meaning to your home. Living with intention, mindfulness goes beyond being present for meditation or yoga. It can also pull us into the way we select and arrange the elements of our home. Living with intention means we stop the search for fleeting trends and make our choices with care. It means we select pieces that feel good, will endure, and will provide ongoing daily comfort. Door knobs, hinges or handles, are also the small functional pieces that can transform a space.
Small details matter
Every time you open a door you get a knob in your hand. In the case of a knob that is solid, smooth, and well crafted, that little knob will feel quite different. A simple cabinet pull and well-made hinge will change the atmosphere in a room without drawing attention. Texture matters. Every material will feel different and evoke different memories. The warmth of brass will add depth and character. A room can feel more grounded with a matte or antique finish. The weight of solid brass in your hand tells you that you are holding something of value. Quality matters and so does the hardware. It is part of your daily rhythm at home.
Where Spira Brass Fits In
At Spira Brass we are of the mind that hardware does more than what is functional, it brings an element of joy into everyday life. That is why we use solid brass for each piece we craft which we design to be lasting and timeless. Whether it is a rim knob, lever handle, or surface bolt these details we put in help to turn a home into a feel of consideration and personal touch.
Start small and make it yours. You need not renovate your home to add mindfulness to it. Try the small things out.
Replace out the old cabinet knobs for hand forged brass ones. Trade in those flimsy handles for some solid that which you feel good in your hand. Use the same finish throughout different rooms to bring in a sense of flow. These small changes create a home that feels calmer, warmer, and more connected.
