A door stop is a small piece of hardware doing a structural job. It absorbs the swing of a door so the wall and the baseboard do not, and it sits at ankle height where a mismatched finish shows. These are solid metal, sold in pairs, in the finishes the rest of the hardware in the house already uses.

What a modern door stop is made of

Mass is what does the work, so these are cast in metal rather than molded plastic. The Avi Door Stop is zinc alloy and the rest are solid copper. Each is a unique shape rather than one silhouette repeated across finishes, and the forms stay low and geometric, closer to contemporary hardware than to the rubber wedge they replace. Every design ships as a pack of two.

Sizing and fit

Height and footprint decide the fit. Enso is the compact one at 1.6 inches square, Aro stands 3.3 inches tall on a 0.8-inch base, and Avi is the broadest at 2 inches across and 3.5 inches tall, with Rivo and Noka between them at 2.2 inches wide. Open the door fully before choosing and look at what sits in its arc. Clear wall behind the handle suits a wall-mounted stopper, while a baseboard, radiator or console in the way points to the floor instead.

Finishes across the house

Brushed gold is on every model here, with matte black close behind, and satin nickel, matte grey, gunmetal black, polished chrome and antique brass appearing on individual designs. Keeping one dominant metal across a floor usually gives the most cohesive result, so start from the door handles the room already has and work outward. The same finishes run through the wider modern door hardware range and across the cabinet pulls on kitchen and millwork fronts.

Count the doors, check what each one swings toward, and order stops in pairs.
