I need some elegant door stops

I am working on a set of nightstands with inset doors.
I realize now that I will need a set of hardstops mounted to the lower and upper crosspiece as stops for the doors.
I have some Bubinga and Pau Ferro that I could make some rectangular blocks, but don't really like how rectangular blocks will look.
I have some 1-1/4" diameter bronze bar that I could make something like THESE FASTCAPS, maybe with an O-ring groove on them as a bumper --- a little more elegant.
I know I am over-thinking this, but just the same, anybody got some ideas for elegant door stops ?

I designed mine to be seen (when door is opened).

If you position the stops at the top of the doors instead of the bottom then they won’t be seen.
My thought too. And the FastCap ones come in a few colors so even less conspicuous.

Addendum: I will amend that, just brown, white or clear. But if tucked up above, it will be out of sight except when you are doing your nightly prayers.
