In some cases, you might want to choose new ones to replace the old pulls and knobs that have gone out of style. At the same time, it might also be because you bought the cabinets sans hardware \u2013 which tends to happen quite often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of the situation, how do you choose the best hardware to go with your cabinets? How do you know what style to go for, what colors to choose, or what else is needed to ensure those styles will properly mix? Well, here is a guide for you into how to choose the hardware for your cabinets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Stick with the Theme<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The hardware that you choose for your cabinets will speak for the theme in the same way that the actual cabinets do. For instance, if you have cabinets with a more contemporary or modern look, you can\u2019t really go for vintage, antique-looking pulls or knobs. It will ruin the entire aesthetics of the room.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, some sleek, tubular kinds of pulls might be more effective with this kind of design. You have to make sure that everything blends smoothly and that nothing seems out of place \u2013 which is why you need to stick with a theme in particular.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Keep the Finishes Cohesive<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll realize that hardware comes in a variety of finishes, going from brass to brushed nickel. While matching and mixing hardware in your kitchen is no problem, you might want to ensure that the finishes are similar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, you might not have the option of buying the same hardware. For example, if only some of the hardware needs replacing, you might not find identical pieces as the original ones. In that case, you might want to go for different models \u2013 but at least make sure that they have a similar finish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Know When to Choose Pulls and Knobs<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the kitchen, you might see some people using pulls \u2013 whereas other people are using knobs. In farmhouse kitchens or other traditional designs, you are more likely to see knobs instead of pulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do you know when to choose one over the other? Well, that\u2019s fairly simple, actually. If your cabinets are finely detailed or ornated, the pulls might make it seem like a bit too much. Plus, since pulls tend to be ornate themselves, they end up distracting the attention from the ornamentation of the cabinet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, knobs are simpler and don\u2019t visually stick out that much. This is why they tend to be very popular for people that go for country or vintage-style kitchens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Go for High-Quality Items<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that you want to invest in beautiful cabinets and other eye-catching, quality kitchen items \u2013 but what you shouldn\u2019t cross over is the quality of your kitchen hardware. Since your pulls or knobs will get a lot of traffic, you will have to ensure that the product of your choice is actually a high-quality one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t go for overly expensive models \u2013 but don\u2019t go for the ones that are too cheap either. Go for the ones made from durable materials, and whose finishes are bound to last. You may want to check the reviews of previous customers for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Take Your Other Appliances into Account<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Knobs and pulls are not the only appliances that you have in your kitchen. You have light fixtures, you have your fridge, you have your sink with the faucet. You need to ensure that the hardware of your choice goes well with those as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if everything in your house is a nice matte silver, you cannot really go with metallic golden colors. While it\u2019s okay to go for something out of the ordinary, you need to ensure that it matches as close as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hardware might be the last thing that you think about \u2013 but nonetheless, it is something that should be given some serious thought. After all, it may not be the centerpiece of the room, but it will create that well-blended harmony.
