Renovating? Here Are the Best Door Accessories to Buy for a Fresh Look

Renovating your home is one of the most rewarding ways to breathe new life into your space. While most homeowners focus on paint colours, flooring, or furniture, there’s one upgrade that delivers an instant lift across your interiors: high-quality door hardware.

Door accessories may seem small, but they play a major role in unifying your aesthetic, modernising older homes, and bringing detail and polish to every room. Doric’s Avon Series is a perfect example, a complete, design-led hardware range crafted for style, strength, and everyday functionality. With modern profiles, premium finishes, and matching components across the entire collection, Avon makes it easy to achieve a cohesive, contemporary look throughout your renovation.

If you’re refreshing or upgrading your home, here are the best door accessories to invest in and how the Avon Series can help you achieve that clean, modern finish.

  1. Avon Series Door Handles

Your door handle is one of the most visible hardware elements in your home, and upgrading it is one of the quickest ways to modernise your space. The Avon Series features contemporary lever handles with clean, architectural lines designed for modern New Zealand interiors.

What the Avon Series includes:

  • Lever handles – sleek, ergonomic, and ideal for contemporary designs
  • Optional back plates – perfect for covering existing screw holes
  • Matching components – designed to create a cohesive look throughout your home

Available finishes:

  • Matte Black
  • Satin Chrome
  • Brushed Nickel

Choosing a unified finish across your home instantly creates consistency and elevates your renovation.

Doric’s hinge range pairs seamlessly with the Avon lever handles, helping your hardware look intentional and beautifully coordinated.

Recommended hinge upgrades:

  • Ball-bearing hinges – smooth and quiet

  • Low-profile floor stops

Even small accessories can contribute to a streamlined, modern look.

  1. Door Closers That Pair with the Avon Look

While not part of the Avon collection itself, Doric’s slimline door closers work beautifully alongside Avon handles, bringing a premium feel to frequently used doors.

Ideal for:

  • Entry doors
  • Internal access to the garage
  • Offices or media rooms
  • High-traffic areas
  1. Door Seals for Comfort, Warmth & Noise Control

Door seals are essential in New Zealand’s climate and sit discreetly alongside your Avon handle selection.

These combinations enhance your renovation without misrepresenting Avon’s own product scope.

  1. Architectural Back Plates for a Defined Look

Avon back plates are ideal for older homes undergoing renovation, helping create a structured, architectural appearance.

  1. Latches & Bolts That Work with Avon

Options include:

  • Tubular latches
  • Magnetic latches
  • Flush bolts for double doors

Choosing matching finishes ensures harmony throughout your home.
