Doorbell Surrounds

Doorbell Surrounds or doorbell covers are covers placed on doorbells.  They provide the homeowner with the opportunity to find some that matches their personality and adds more artistic decoration than a generic and mundane doorbell cover to your home.  The number of selections to choose from is quite large. 

Design Materials 

Doorbell Surrounds can come in a number of substances.  However, the two most common are bronze and glass.  Bronze doorbell surrounds are very popular as they come in a look that has the bronze buffed to a shine or has more of a brushed look.  In addition, many of these doorbell surrounds develop a unique patina over time due to exposure to the elements.  Glass doorbell surrounds usually consist of a mixture of different colored glass to make an artistic design.  Common colors are red, blue, black, and green.    

Design Options 

Design options for bronze doorbell surrounds are quite extensive.  You can find a wide variety of choices.  A small number of these options include: 

• Animal designs (horse, rooster, dove, dog, etc). 
• Flower designs (roses, tulips, daisies, etc.) 
• Unique designs (cowboy boots, chili pepper, sailboat, etc.) 

Glass doorbell surrounds are much more limited as most focus on different blends of the colors. The focus of these pieces is the colors and the shapes of the different pieces of glass. There is a certain element of stain-glass in their appearance.  

Prices 

Most bronze doorbell surrounds can be purchased for $30 to $40.  Glass doorbell surrounds are slightly more expensive as they range in price from $40 to $50.

Ultimately, doorbell surrounds or covers offer a way to brighten up an otherwise dreary doorbell button.  If you have a desire to upgrade your home decor, there is no better place to start than with with a doorbell surround.
