#1 – Kitchen cabinet knobs and/or pulls should be chosen FIRST.
You see, when it comes to the hardware of your kitchen cabinets, you have to remember this impactful design can make or break the ease of everyday use.
For a brief description – knobs are round, small, and are usually installed on cabinet doors. Straight, long pulls are usually installed on cabinet drawers. When it comes to different design styles, ornate knobs and pulls are more traditional, while long, simple hardware has a modern design feel. This is a great time to get creative with both placement of your hardware and style. You can get crazy by mixing and matching knobs on your cabinet doors and pulls on your drawers, but keep the finish the same to keep a balance in your kitchen.
#2 – Kitchen cabinet hardware finishes should be chosen SECOND.
You have fallen in love with your hardware type and where it is going. The next step is to examine the options for hardware finishes. Oil rubbed bronze, black, polished or brushed nickel, and brass are very common selections. While this is an opportunity to be creative, keep in mind the color may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. It is best to keep the finish the same color across all of the room so you can have consistency.
#3- Cabinet Hardware Size is THIRD.
Your kitchen cabinet restoration project is ready for the perfect selected hardware size. Contemporary designs in the kitchen have long cabinet pulls 9 inches or longer. Traditional pulls are about 5 to 7 inches long. Shape is more important than size when it comes to knobs. When it comes to kitchen hardware feel free to mix and match!
