Colourful Door Knobs-An Inexpensive Elegant Design Solution Or Gift
Whether you're stuck for gift ideas for someone's new home or you wish to find an economical way to make your home more elegant; Bombay duck colourful door knobs can be a good solution.
Remember that if it is for housewarming gifts this was originally meant to give good wishes of prosperity and health. So something that looks stylish and brings happiness each time the person sees it is ideal. There are many traditions relating to housewarming gifts and today the same message of welcome is as important as it has been in the past.
The Russians give round bread loaves for good health and a pinch of salt for good life. This tradition started with a Russian couple named Boris and Yelena. As Russian dignitaries passed through their village, a dignitary lifted the bread and inhaled the freshly baked bread and exclaimed, "Such a wonderful welcome". From then on, a new tradition was born.
The Hindus do it with a Ganesha idol. In India, offering a prayer to Lord Ganesha often accompanies a housewarming ceremony. The Irish believes in the blessing, "Bread 'that this house may never go hungry, salt - that life may always have flavour, wine - that joy and prosperity may reign forever."
However, housewarming traditions have greatly changed over the years although the underlying theme stays more or less the same. People start to think out of the box. Housewarming gifts may now consist of an "African Zulu angel", "Madhubani paintings" from India, Chinese needlework, paintings, pottery and even unique home decors such as a set of colourful glass doorknobs.
Coloured glass doorknobs date back to the early 1800s. They first developed these beautiful bits by pressing melted and molten glass into moulds. Crystal and cut glass doorknobs became popular in 1920. Today, colourful doorknobs made of glass are considered expensive design choice. Glass doorknobs started as plain, clear glass. It slowly evolved into colored ones, and finally into colored ones with hand paintings, spots, spirals and many more. A few of the most popular colours include cobalt blue and a lighter robin's egg blue.
Different types of glass doorknobs range from faceted ones, glass ball, to rosette ones. Twelve-sided clear glass doorknobs, the most common models, also prove to be the cheapest. Cut crystal balls have the most expensive prices due to their scant availability.
Glass doorknobs can have six, eight or twelve facets. Bases of glass doorknobs may take the shape of a star, pinprick, bullet or rosette. The designs may feature abstract patterns, curls, scrollwork, geometric and fleur de lis patterns.
Colourful, trendy and chic glass doorknobs will make any room brighter and more fun. It can make any drawer or cabinet the centre of attention. Traditional gifts such as brooms are meant to sweep away evil, honey can sweeten lives, coins bring good fortune, candles light up life and wood attracts harmony and peace. Bombay duck coloured glass doorknobs, on the other hand, bring fun and contemporary elegance to any abode.
