Choosing The Right Kitchen Cabinet Hardware and Drawer Pulls from Top Knobs
You can remodel your whole kitchen, and even put in new cabinets, but if the knobs and drawer pulls on your cabinets are not right it will just not look as good. Really, it is like putting on your best dress with old tennis shoes. Why spend that much money if you are not going to do it right? Joseph Kitchens & Bath in Toronto has many styles to choose from and will give you a free online quote.
There are so many different kinds of cabinet hardware that you can pretty much make your cabinets look tailored just for you. Starting from one dollar to one thousand dollars, you can find them made of almost any material (brass, glass, acrylic, plastic, metal, copper, silver, and even gold) and any shape (round, square, designed, cartoons, images). Therefore, if you have a country style kitchen and you want more country style knobs there are glass ball or country French glass knobs and drawer pulls to complement the look. A traditional look could be round brass or bronze knobs with round plates or bar pulls in any color or material. Here are some styles and tips you may like:
Traditional
These are usually nickel or bronze and can be round, square, rectangular, or any shape really. There are different views of what is considered traditional, but it generally means common. However, that does not mean they have to look common! It is your choice and you are the one who has to live with them. The material should complement the color and material of the cabinets as well as the walls and flooring. We have many to choose from here at our store in Toronto.
Bar Pulls
Bar pulls are exactly what the name implies: bar shaped handles that you pull to open the cabinet or drawer. These can be as fancy or plain as you like depending on your taste and style of your kitchen. They are especially good with the sleek look of contemporary cabinets. Of course, they can be big, ornate bar pulls as well. It is up to you. Check out some samples at one of the home remodelling stores in Toronto or at Joseph Kitchens & Bath.
Cup or Bin Pulls
Any type of kitchen and any style cabinets can be paired with cup or bin pulls. They come in any finish you like, such as nickel, bronze, stainless steel, or even painted. If you are going to go with something elaborate like painted pulls, be sure they are compatible with the other finishes in the room, such as the refrigerator handles. The light fixtures and faucets should also be considered when choosing cabinet knobs or pulls. Some colors may clash with another so you may want to try them out in a simulated program they have on most websites. Alternatively, you can give us a call at (905) 707-7756 and we can have someone come out and look at what you have.
Novelty
These knobs and pulls can be used in any kitchen with any cabinet. This depends on the style of course. If the knobs were roosters, they would look great in a country style kitchen. Maybe some fish on white cabinetry and blue walls. The choices are endless. Come into Joseph Kitchens & Bath in Toronto and one of our sales staff can help you choose.
Country French
These knobs look well on dark cabinets with glass fronts that are common in country style kitchens. They are usually made of acrylic, ceramic, or crystal but can also be in plastic of all different colors and designs.
