Hardware
New hardware can provide the finishing touch to your new cabinetry or update the look of your existing cabinets.
While cabinet hardware has a decorative purpose, it also has a functional one. It limits the amount of handling of your cabinet doors, prolonging the finish on the cabinet fronts. It also aids you in opening or grasping cabinet doors and drawers.
Considerations:
There are many different style and color choices for both knobs and pulls to compliment your room
Knobs and pulls come in many sizes, make sure you can comfortably grasp the knob or pull before making a final decision
If you are updating existing cabinets, check the amount and spacing of the existing drilled holes to make sure your new selection has the same spacing
There is no set rules when it comes to knob or pull placement or which type should be used on a door or drawer. You can mix these options to create a look that is unique to you.
Most quality cabinets come standard with soft close hinges that have a mechanism that allows the door or drawer to slowly shut. Most hinges are concealed behind the door. However, you can also consider changing this to a decorative surface mount hinge that is visual from the outside. These come in many different color options and can be coordinated with your knobs and pulls
