The humble door knocker has long been a staple of front door furniture, but a new trend is taking social media by storm. Vista’s head social media coordinator, Lauren Barnes, explores the growing popularity of bumble bee door knockers and how they’re transforming entrances across the country.
Making an entrance: The importance of door furniture
Your front door is more than just an entryway; it’s a statement piece that creates the first impression of your home. After carefully selecting the style, colour, and glass design of your door, the final touch comes in choosing the perfect door furniture. While traditional options have long been popular, a new contender has emerged: the bumble bee door knocker.
The buzz about bee knockers
In recent months, Vista (XtremeDoor) has noticed a surge in social media posts featuring our doors adorned with charming bumble bee knockers. This trend, which seems to have originated in Manchester, symbolises hard work, unity, and community spirit – values that resonate with many homeowners.
Intrigued by this phenomenon, Vista (XtremeDoor) tracked down the source of these delightful door accessories to Brass Bee Ltd, a family-run business founded by Jamie and Victoria Reid in 2019. Their unique bee door knocker designs have quickly grown into a worldwide brand, capturing the hearts of homeowners and interior design enthusiasts alike.
Crafted for style and durability
These bee door knockers aren’t just about looks. Made from high-quality materials like solid brass, they offer durability that can withstand the elements, making them suitable for various property types from country cottages to barn conversions. Available in finishes such as chrome, satin nickel, brass, and aged brass, these knockers can complement any front door colour or style.
Vista embraces the trend
Recognising the growing demand for these eye-catching door knockers, Vista has decided to incorporate them into our product range. Customers can now order bee door knockers along with their Vista doors, ensuring a perfect match and professional installation.
Options and warranties
Vista offers bee door knockers in chrome, satin silver, brass, or black finish, catering to various aesthetic preferences. Each knocker comes with a 10-year warranty, providing peace of mind alongside style. For those interested in learning more about the story behind these unique pieces, we have included a QR code in our brochure linking to Brass Bee Ltd’s website.
Beyond the bee: A world of door knocker options
