Eastlake Style Brass and Bronze Hardware – Buy Online
Eastlake home hardware is a style of design rooted in geometric forms. Named after the noted architect, Charles Eastlake, it was a style of decorating that was created to offset the heavy use of French Baroque hardware (noted for its extremely ornate designed and curved styles) during the Victorian era. Eastlake hardware is used extensively in Victorian homes and although it is sometimes confused with other two other architectural styles; Queen Anne and Stick (both were popular at the same time Eastlake was created). Noted for its “carved” designs and massive forms, Eastlake hardware is a beautiful choice for both new and older homes.
Eastlake home hardware is a simple and unique way to upgrade your home hardware while creating a new and interesting theme throughout your entire house. By using solid brass Eastlake hardware on your cabinets, doors, windows and other areas of your home, you can use a variety of different designs and shapes while still creating a common theme. Solid brass hardware is also a wonderful choice because of its durability and selection of finishes including Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Polished Chrome, Brushed Nickel and Oil Rubbed Bronze.
Eastlake hardware is produced today and is as popular today as it was in the 1800’s. Whether you need to replace a few knobs in your kitchen or redo all the hardware in your home, Eastlake designs can transform the entire look of your house in an elegant and unique way. Just be sure to follow a few simple steps. First, certain areas of the home are often overlooked during renovations or decorating- such as windows, switch plate outlets and door/cabinet hinges. These are all great places to continue your new Eastlake theme and add unexpected detail to your home. Second, remember you do not need to use the same pattern or shape on every cabinet, drawer, door, or window in your home. Eastlake designs will tie themselves together nicely.
Eastlake home hardware is available online as well as in many home decorating catalogs. Search for pewter construction and be sure to ask questions. When you work with Eastlake hardware you can reflect your unique personality while still using classic designs. This Eastlake style hardware is available online through LookintheAttic & Company and they offer free design assistance and help.

Moving from a country primitive home to a 1890′s Victorian home that needed restoration in every single room, this book was my bible! Charles Eastlake (credited with wonderful Eastlake style)explains how, why and where to do every room from the screens to the windows to the walls to the floors. His simple diagrams and easy to read explanations made restoring much easier. With still a few rooms to finish, the book never leaves my bedside table (which, of course, is Eastlake style!)

We’d bought an Eastlake Victorian which had been restored inside and out. As we desired to furnish appropriate to period (1890), this book was a fine beginner’s/general guide to style lines, detail, and what to avoid. Also helpful in choosing furniture pieces, draperies, and objets d’art. No color pictures except the cover, so one might want to purchase another similar book with pictures of restored rooms in similar homes for color guidance, trims, room set-up, etc.

Charles Eastlake, (who is credited, innacurately, with the “Eastlake” style of architecture and furniture design) wrote a serialized guide to interior design concepts and theory. He’s very opinionated about the evils of modern (c. 1880-90) architecture. I found this to be an enjoyable read, and got some great ideas about the decoration of several rooms in my 1903 Victorian house.

Well-written and informative, but did not fill the need I had. I was looking for something with illustrations and the few line drawings included did not help. Still, I rate it four stars, because it was well-written.

Restore your old Victorian era home to what it could have been like when it was first built.
