Are you eager to switch up your kitchen design, but not ready to invest in a full remodel? Swapping out the hardware on your kitchen cabinets can make a huge impact on the overall aesthetic of your kitchen and help you match your home to your current design preferences. Whether you are looking for a quick way to refresh your kitchen or putting the finishing touches on your remodel, the right hardware can make all the difference. Find out how to choose the perfect hardware for your kitchen cabinets.
What are the types of cabinet hardware?
There are several types of cabinet hardware. The two most common are knobs and pulls. Knobs are cabinet handles attached to the surface by a small screw. Pulls are extremely similar, except that they are larger and therefore easier to grasp. They are also typically anchored by two screws, as opposed to one. There are countless varieties of knobs and pulls to suit a wide range of personal tastes.
What finishes are available?
Cabinet hardware comes in many finishes, including gold, silver, bronze, and copper. Metal is one of the most common materials, but knobs or pulls can also be made from glass, wood, crystal, plastic, or stone. Our designers can help you choose the perfect finish.
How do finishes affect the look of my home?
The type of finish you choose will affect the overall look of your home. Natural-looking materials like glass, wood, and stone will lend a rustic feel and may be perfect for cabins, beach houses, and other rural retreats. Meanwhile, shiny finishes can feel futuristic or modern, making them ideal for minimalist or contemporary designs.
