How to Choose Cabinet Hardware

From knobs and latches to pulls and more, there’s a variety of options to choose from when it comes to cabinet hardware. In order to make the best decision for your home, consider the following factors:

• Design and style. Choose cabinet hardware designs that match your sense of style. Do you want a casual look or an elegant style? Do you prefer sleek, modern pulls and latches or traditional knobs? Make sure the design you choose matches the existing design of the room—unless, of course, you want a full bathroom or kitchen remodel.
• Types of cabinet hardware. Think about whether you want knobs, pulls, or latches based on the size and style of the drawers and your functionality requirements. When you’re making your decision, consider that knobs tend to create an inviting look while pulls and latches provide an element of sophistication.
• Materials. Cabinet handles are available in different materials, depending on your budget and the style you’re trying to accomplish. Consider nickel or stainless steel for a modern kitchen, or opt for bronze and brass for a rustic look.
• Finishes.  Choose your finishes based on which materials you’re using and your overall room décor. While there are many different options to choose from, glossy polishes and dark antique finishes are just some ideas to get you started.
