A living space is far more than just somewhere to spend time—it’s the heart of the home, often the most sociable and lively room. It’s a place for laughter, conversations, debates, and moments of relaxation. Whether designed as an open-plan living-dining area or a private retreat, the look and feel of this central space set the tone for the entire house. Creating a cohesive and inviting design for such a pivotal space hinges on the careful choice of colours, materials, and finishes. It’s the finer details that transform a room into an exceptional living space.
Doors are more than just functional connections between rooms; they play a vital role in the aesthetics of a space. They add structure, character, and, when chosen carefully, can seamlessly enhance the overall design.
SIMONSWERK offers a range of stylish and high-performance hinge systems tailored to complement residential doors. Whether the aim is bold contrast, understated elegance, or subtle continuity, SIMONSWERK’s premium door hinges add the perfect finishing touch to any doorway. Their versatility makes them suitable for timber, steel, or glass doors, creating striking design statements alike.
Timber, with its natural warmth and comforting presence, remains a timeless choice for creating inviting living spaces. The TECTUS concealed hinge system allows for both rebated and unrebated timber doors—as well as steel doors—to integrate perfectly into a room’s architecture. The result is a sleek, modern aesthetic that enhances the living space. The VARIANT V hinge system offers even greater versatility, with a wide range of combinations for door and frame parts.
Alongside timber, glass is becoming increasingly popular in contemporary interiors, thanks to its ability to bring light and openness into a living space. The TECTUS Glass concealed hinge system supports glass doors weighing up to 100 kg, offering a refined, minimalist finish.
For glass doors with timber, steel, or aluminium frames, the VARIANT VG hinge system is an excellent choice, while the COLLIO screw-on hinge is specially designed for framed doors and partitions. SIMONSWERK also provides self-closing hinge systems with the BILOBA, EVO and VERTO solutions, which ensure a smooth open and close functionality while maintaining a clean, transparent aesthetic. The innovative, wire-free KEEP CLOSED magnetic closing system impresses with its exceptional ease of use. Featuring perfectly coordinated components and a minimalist design, it adds a stylish, modern accent to any space.
