Some of the most common questions we hear about cabinet hardware are, "What size do I get?" and "Where do I put them?".
So, how should we choose cabinet hardware?
Keep Functionality and Comfort in Mind: Handles are better equipped to deal with heavier items like pulling a drawer, while cabinet knobs are better suited for doors.
Budget and Quality: While knobs are generally less expensive and easier to install, investing in better finishes and materials pays off in the long run in terms of both appearance and durability.
Design Consistency: for a uniform look, choose all knobs or all pulls. Knobs suggest a vintage style, while pulls lean toward a contemporary design.
Upper cabinets vs lower cabinets: Handles give easier access to base cabinets and cabinet drawers, while knobs are helpful when it comes to reaching those upper cabinets.
Knob and Pull Placement: Knobs should be placed opposite the hinge side, with precise measurements. Mount pulls vertically on doors and horizontally on drawers for optimal functionality.
The Fifth Wall: Consider the ceiling as the "fifth wall" in your kitchen. Hardware can play a role in coordinating with lighting fixtures or hanging pot racks, adding to the design continuity.
Visual Impact and Practicality: Pulls create a significant visual impact but might feel awkward on doors and can be more complex to install. Knobs, on the other hand, offer a classic appeal but may catch on clothing due to their shape.
