Cabinets are vital components of your home, including the kitchen. Besides their design and color, it’s also critical to improve their overall functionality and accessibility. That said, choosing cabinet hardware is an important step in the remodeling process. 

For your knobs and pulls, consider the following tips from a professional remodeler.

• Style: Cabinet pulls are available in a variety of styles. The first thing to consider is whether the handles will complement the cabinets’ design and your kitchen’s overall style. Although this type of hardware is small, it adds aesthetic value that’s difficult to ignore.
• Price: You must always consider the cost of cabinet hardware and ensure it fits your budget. However, you should not sacrifice quality just to save a few dollars. You must invest in durable hardware since you’ll be using these components frequently.
• Functionality: Make sure your cabinet hardware is high-quality and well-designed. Consider how you frequently open and close cabinet doors and drawers in your kitchen. You’ll want your handles to be as stylish as they are comfortable. Before purchasing hardware, test it against your cabinet doors to see if it’s easy to grip. The handles should be comfortable even for people with larger hands or those with limited mobility in the fingers.
• Finishes: It is not necessary to match your cabinet hardware to your faucets and other fixtures, but it’s a must for these components to look good together. Traditional handles come in a wide range of finishes, including stainless steel, brass, pewter and even black. Meanwhile, polished chrome handles are perfect for modern styles and can be used along with a polished chrome tap.
