How To
How to replace the doorknob
A combination of functional and decorative design would make the best replacement. An attractive door handle can easily replace a plain doorknob.
The key here is to ensure that whatever you choose looks like the original and is easy for people to operate.
If you already have shiny finishes, a shiny brass knob can be too big. If there isn't anything else in the room, go for it!
You can also choose a knob that matches your existing hardware, but not the style of the rest. This could be a good choice if you're redoing kitchen cabinetry or adding a new countertop in another part of the house.
If you want to stick with a traditional look, consider changing your knobs with matching handles.
