Hardware is one of the most cost effective ways to elevate your space. Choosing cabinet hardware can seem daunting with all of the difference choices and options available. Here are 3 things to consider when making hardware decisions.

Knobs or Pulls? That is one of the first decisions to make when choosing cabinet hardware. It all depends on the size of the cabinet or drawer you are finding hardware for. In some instances you may have a mix of both based on your style preferences. Knobs are great for smaller drawers or doors. You can also pair 2 knobs on extra wide drawers. Pulls are ideal for larger cabinets, especially if you want to make a statement.

After you’ve decided on knobs or pulls, you can choose the color and finish. Things to consider when choosing the finish are the overall design as well as the other elements such as faucets, light fixtures, appliances, etc.. Brushed nickel and stainless steel are neutral and versatile while oil-rubbed bronze can give a vintage or rustic vibe. Matte black is bold, modern, and on-trend while polished brass or gold creates warmth and luxury.

Balance is the key when choosing the size of your cabinet hardware. Using a visual guide can help you decide which size is best for your cabinets and overall design. For instance, using a large pull on a small drawer can feel disproportionate and out of place. Consider all of the different cabinets and drawers in your space before choosing your hardware.
