The cabinets typically make the biggest impact in a kitchen remodel. And as the industry-leading cabinet refinishing provider in the Lowcountry area, N-Hance can help you through every stage of the process.
From deciding on your cabinet color and finish to choosing the hardware, we can help you narrow down your options so the finished product is a kitchen you’ll absolutely fall in love with.
Here’s our advice for selecting the best choice in hardware for your newly refinished cabinets.
#1 – Choose between cabinet knobs or pulls.
Sure, the primary purpose of cabinet hardware is to make opening and closing the doors easy. However, cabinet hardware also plays a key role in the design of your kitchen.
Cabinets typically have either pulls or knobs attached to the outside to make opening and closing more functional. Knobs are small and round and commonly used on cabinet doors, while pulls are more like long handles that you’ll see often on cabinet drawers. However, there’s really no set rules when it comes to where you apply knobs vs. pulls. So don’t be afraid to get creative!
If you are looking for some design guidance, it may be helpful to know that more ornate pulls and knobs are often used in traditional designs while simple, long pulls are common in modern aesthetics.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match by using a combination of knobs and pulls in the same room, too. If you do, just steer toward using the same finish for all of your hardware so there’s a common element tying it all together.
#2 – Select a finish for your cabinet hardware.
Now that you’ve decided on knobs, pulls, or both, choose your finish. Common options are black, oil-rubbed bronze, polished nickel, brushed nickel, or brass. The color of hardware finishes will vary between different manufacturers, so try to get all of your hardware from the same provider. When choosing your finish, take into account the finish of your appliances and fixtures so it all blends cohesively together.
#3 – Pick your cabinet hardware size.
Finally, decide on the size for your hardware. Contemporary cabinet pulls are often 9 inches or longer, and traditional pulls fall within the 5 to 7 inch range. For knobs, focus on shape more than size. You can use the same size throughout your kitchen or mix and match sizes between different cabinets. Just try to have a consistent pattern.
