Decor Handles Spotlights Spring Cabinet and Bathroom
Written by: Josh Maraney Save to Instapaper
With winter loosening its grip and spring on the horizon, Decor Handles is urging homeowners across South Africa to pay attention to the small pieces of hardware that can revive a home long before anyone reaches for a wrecking ball or a big renovation budget. Operating out of Eastleigh in Edenvale, the family run supplier has spent over thirty years kitting out kitchens, bathrooms, cupboards and entrances, and it regards the seasonal shift as the ideal cue to tackle these overdue tweaks.
The annual spring clean has a way of exposing scuffed cupboard fittings, wobbly door handles and bathroom finishes that have quietly gone out of date over the cold season. Instead of tearing out whole units, plenty of households are opting to change out handles, knobs and fittings to breathe life back into a weary space. The method works just as well for a tight budget as it does for an ambitious design scheme, and the payoff shows the instant the last screw is tightened.
The Decor Handles catalogue stretches well past what the company name might imply. In addition to an extensive selection of door handles made for front doors, internal doors and aluminium doors, the business keeps cabinet handles and knobs, cupboard hinges and drawer slides, door locks, hinges, bolts and closers in stock. Finishes run from contemporary black and brushed brass to chrome and time honoured traditional styles, letting a homeowner either blend fresh fittings into a current scheme or go all in on a new aesthetic.
For many, kitchens and cupboards are where the project begins. Just one fresh set of cabinet handles can transform a tired kitchen or a built in wardrobe, and since the job is simple enough, plenty of customers install the pieces themselves across a weekend. With modern, classic, glass and crystal, and kiddies cabinet knobs all on offer, designers and homeowners can be precise about the look they want instead of accepting whatever a general hardware store happens to have in stock.
Bathrooms draw just as much interest come spring. The supplier's bathroom vanities and storage units, basins, mirror cabinets and frameless shower fittings let homeowners refresh a bathroom step by step rather than in one go. Accessories like towel rails, robe hooks, toilet roll holders and heated towel rails come in coordinating black, chrome and brushed brass ranges, which makes it simpler to build a room around one consistent finish.
Security stays front of mind for South African households, and the catalogue mirrors that concern. It carries internal and external door locks, cylinders, digital keypad locks, smart locks and the Welka Italy heavy duty door lock range, together with emergency exit push bars aimed at commercial premises. Thanks to that range, one supplier can equally handle a homeowner swapping out a single lock and a contractor kitting out a whole building, with neither needing to shop around.
The company's history stretches back a long way. Robert and the late Renette Perez launched Decor Handles in 1994 from a warehouse in Jeppestown, close to Maboneng in Johannesburg. What started largely as a wholesale venture supplying hardware shops has since matured into a full business catering to trade and retail buyers alike. Their sons, Ilan and Shimon Perez, now steer the company, preserving the family emphasis on quality and service while widening the range and relocating to a bigger warehouse in Eastleigh.
These days the business caters to homeowners, interior designers and builders side by side. The team advises on both product choice and installation, which proves especially handy for anyone tackling a project for the very first time. Trade buyers, meanwhile, benefit from that wholesale background, since the catalogue runs deep enough to outfit several rooms or an entire development from a single supplier, with finishes staying uniform right across the job.
Its footprint adds to the appeal. Decor Handles delivers throughout the country, offering free shipping on orders over R800 and a flat fee on anything smaller, so buyers beyond the major cities can order the exact fittings on display in the showrooms. Those who would rather inspect products first hand can call in at the Illovo showroom in Illovo Square Shopping Centre in Sandton or the Cape Town showroom, while the Eastleigh warehouse keeps serving trade and collection customers.
Past the main ranges, the company holds a substantial amount of decorative and specialist hardware that tends to be tricky to source elsewhere. Door knockers, letter plate covers, cabin hooks, hat and coat hooks, window handles and stays, castor wheels, furniture legs, solid brass curtain tie-backs and jewelry box fittings all feature in the catalogue. Especially for restoration jobs and older properties, that depth can decide whether a room is finished properly or left to a compromise.
One reason the business has held firm across three decades is its emphasis on service, not sheer volume. Staff are ready to help buyers pick the correct fitting for a given door thickness, cupboard style or bathroom layout, and to guide installation when required. Anyone handy with a screwdriver will find most fittings built for swapping out with basic tools, while trade customers can count on dependable stock and matching finishes across a bigger order. It is that pairing of advice and range that lets a modest spring job expand into a complete home refresh at an unhurried pace.
Timing counts as well. Kicking off a home update as spring arrives leaves rooms looking their best ahead of the busy entertaining months and, for anyone selling, before a home reaches the market. New front door hardware, refreshed cabinet fittings and a smartened up bathroom can boost a property's first impression without the outlay of structural work, and that is precisely why estate agents and stylists so often point to hardware changes as an early, low cost move.
Hardware upgrades fit neatly into the broader shift towards smaller, deliberate home improvements as households scrutinise the worth of each project. Changing fittings is cheap, fast to install and instantly noticeable, which makes it a natural opening move for anyone mapping out a spring refresh. Customers keen to buy door handles and coordinating fittings online will find the entire catalogue open to browse and order around the clock.
