Was browsing some interior design blogs yesterday (as one does when procrastinating, lol) and stumbled upon this random fact: apparently, window hardware—like handles, hinges, and locks—has become a legit design statement lately. I mean, who knew? Some of these new designs look like minimalist sculptures or something you'd see in a fancy art gallery. Kinda makes my old plastic handles look sad now, haha. Anyone else notice this trend or have cool examples they've seen around?
Funny you mention this, I swapped out my old window hardware last summer after repainting the living room. Honestly, I didn't think it'd make much difference, but it totally elevated the whole space. Went with matte black handles and hinges—nothing too fancy, but the clean lines and solid feel made my windows look brand new. It's one of those subtle upgrades you don't realize matters until you actually do it... highly recommend giving it a shot if you're handy enough.
