Decorative Doorbells: It's All in the Details

Doorbells aren't just functional items to announce visitors - they are also another chance to add some style and character to your home. The two main types of electrical doorbells are wired and wireless. While the wireless chime has its practical uses, wired chimes provide the largest assortment of chiming options and decorative features. And they will never need batteries! The two major components of wired, decorative doorbells are the pushbutton and the chime box (the unit that makes the "ding-dong" sound): • The chime box can be small and plain, or you can opt for a larger, decorative unit with long brass bell pipes. There are even chime boxes featuring mirrors or lights, and some shaped like sconces. • The pushbutton is where your decorating style can really shine. There are dozens of design options to choose from including an array of metallic and painted finishes in diverse shapes and sizes. You can buy pushbuttons and chime boxes together in a kit or separately, depending on your needs. Express your personality and add some pizzazz to your home with a unique chime or charming pushbutton!
