Am having double glazing fitted and was wondering (probly personal choice but) do you think it would look odd if the handles were different colours in relation to the rooms. For example:
In the kitchen, appliances are brushed chrome/stainless steel and would like to have switches and sockets the same, so I would like chrome handles on french doors.
teeenagers want brushed chrome switiches and sockets but was going to put white handles on their windows aswell as in some other rooms in the house.
do you think this matters in the long run?

rose you are no doubt paying alot of money for the windows so what ever you want will be fine. on doors i have fitted 1 colour outside and diffrent inside.dont forget the handles can be changed at a later date if you change your mind for a little as £5 per handle if you do it yourself they are only fitted with 2 screws.
