Get a Grip: Choosing the Right Handle for Your Cabinets
Explaining the different styles of knobs, handles, and other cabinetry hardware
Picking out the right hardware for any project relies on preference and design. Whether you have a specific motif in mind or are looking for something fun and flashy, here are a few ideas and hardware themes that are sure to fill you with inspiration!
Popular Styles and Trends
When it comes to adding handles or knobs on your newly finished doors and drawers, Schjenken offers a wide variety of different shapes, colors, sizes, and styles for personalization. Not sure what you’re looking for? Check out some of the most popular trends in cabinet hardware.
Minimalism. If you like the ‘less is more’ approach, choosing understated and commonplace options such as simple stainless steel or nickel pulls and knobs. These options compliment almost every style and blend into the area for seamless design.
Back to Black. One of the most popular hardware options as of late are black handles and knobs—often with a matte finishing. Choose to match your cabinets or go the other direction and go full black and white!
Pull Bars. Another simplistic yet stylish choice are pull bars. A great option for pull out drawers in the kitchen (stainless steel makes them easy to clean!), these handles come in a variety of lengths that fit virtually any color scheme and design.
Trick of the trade: Keep in mind the size and function of where your handles will be located. Mixing up pulls for drawers and knobs for cabinet doors are a safe bet for easy opening and cohesive style!
Glass/Ceramic Knobs. Making a strong comeback to the world of cabinetry are vintage-style glass or ceramic knobs. Offered in a variety of colors, they can really add a fun splash of surprise to your overall kitchen design.
Rustic Chic. A popular trend since 2019, the rustic theme for cabinet design has no signs of stopping anytime soon. Akin to antiqued designs, hardware for a rustic look can be anything from wooden handles, aged nickel, or unlacquered brass.
Of course, no handle or knob is particularly better than another. Choosing the right hardware for any project is entirely up to you.
Choosing the Perfect Hardware
At the end of the day, the functionality of your chosen hardware is what’s most important. Depending on the size and function of where your hardware will be placed, a combination of both knobs and pull handles are a great choice for a stylish and cohesive style.
