The celebrated mid-century architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe famously opined that “God is in the details”—and when it comes to selecting hardware for your home, we couldn’t agree more. It may seem like a small component of your project, but hardware has the ability to make or break a restoration: Choose hardware that’s improperly suited to the period of your house, and your rooms will always seem just a little bit “off.” Fortunately, we’ve got resources that can help—check out these three primers on era-appropriate hardware.
Guide to Period Hardware: As clothing fashions change with the times, so too does architectural hardware. Here’s a look at America’s styles through the centuries.
Knobs, Latches, and Levers: Getting a handle on historic hardware styles.

Greek Revival Preserved: A light touch and a way with color, bits and pieces of classical ornament: one vision of vernacular.
