Aside from their functional purpose, cabinets also add beauty and appeal to kitchens and bathrooms. Ideally, they should be designed to suit the kitchen or bathroom’s overall style or theme. The right choice of hardware also contributes to the beauty and function of cabinetry. If cabinet replacement or installation is a part of your bathroom or traditional kitchen remodeling project, here are some tips to help you choose the best cabinet hardware.

Knobs & Pulls

There are no strict rules when it comes to choosing between knob or pulls to open cabinets. A general rule of thumb is to choose knobs for cabinet doors and pulls for drawers. However, if you want to create a greater sense of uniformity, you can choose one or the other.

The Finish

There are a lot of hardware finishes to choose from — chrome, brushed nickel, satin brass and bronze, among many others. However, it’s always safe to go with a finish that matches the kitchen or bathroom faucets.

The Feel

Before you purchase cabinet knobs or pulls, you need to test them first. Do they feel nice to the touch? Are they easy to grip? Do they have ridges or rough edges that make them uncomfortable? Remember that you’ll have to use this hardware countless times over. Whatever you choose should be functional, beautiful and comfortable.
