How to Pick Cabinet Hardware

There are many different aspects of cabinetry that contribute to a customized kitchen appearance, and a beautiful kitchen space comes down to the smallest details. While the finish, layout, and general style of your cabinets play a major role in the overall look of the room, the cabinet hardware that you choose as the finishing touch can make or break the space.

Choosing the Perfect Cabinet Hardware

When choosing cabinet hardware, the options can be overwhelming! From brushed nickel pulls to bold, vintage knobs, the styles available can seem endless when you first begin your search for quality cabinet hardware. At Kitchen Cabinet Kings, our goal is to provide the ideal products for all kitchen sizes, styles, and designs—and our hardware options are no exception.

When choosing hardware for your new cabinets or to give your current features a makeover, you want to consider:

• Finish: Take into account the undertones of your kitchen to find complementary cabinet hardware. If you have warm hues in the space, go for gold, black, or bronze. For cool tones, silver, black, and stainless steel options create a beautiful contrast.
• Style: Cabinet hardware is available in both knob and handle styles, and the option you choose comes down to personal preference. Overall, knobs tend to have less of an impact on the kitchen's overall design.
• Durability: Not all finishes are created equally, so take into account the durability of the style that you choose! Satin nickel is one of the most popular choices for longevity, but with the generally low cost of hardware, the risk is minimal with any available option.

Cabinet Knobs With Stylish Appeal

As a traditional option for kitchen cabinet hardware, cabinet knobs are a beautiful and subtle addition to kitchens that have a classic design or a country-inspired appearance. Whether you choose simple, rustic-wood knobs or vintage one-of-a-kind classics, knob hardware is the perfect choice for a variety of cabinet styles, including:

• Shaker-style cabinetry
• Bead-board cabinets
• Distressed and antique cabinets

Choosing the Perfect Cabinet Hardware

For easier cleaning and adding a modern touch to a 21st century kitchen, cabinet handles are the most popular choice. This pull-style hardware option comes in an impressive array of style choices, and with the right planning, they can have a positive, stunning impact on the overall design of your space. If you are interested in cabinet handles for your kitchen, consider:

• Cost: Pull handles tend to be slightly more expensive than knobs, but the higher cost can be worth it for the unique aesthetic appeal.
• Cabinet Style: Handles work best in kitchens that are focused on a modern, industrial, or contemporary aesthetic, and they are less common in rustic, country-style kitchens.
• Design: Cabinet handles aren't one-size-fits-all! In fact, they come in a wide range of lengths, finishes, and designs—making it important that you shop around for the right fit.

At Kitchen Cabinet Kings, our goal is to provide quality solutions to enhance any-style kitchen space, and our cabinet hardware can add value to everything from vintage cabinetry to sleek, new cabinets that were just installed. Take a look at the options we offer, and choose the product that best works with your vision of the ideal home kitchen!
