The Right Way to Choose Cabinet Knobs

Those who plan on updating the overall design and look of their kitchen may decide to change their cabinet knobs and more. This may be a bit difficult due to the wide range of cabinetry hardware that one can find in their local hardware store or home depot expo. However, there are a few guidelines that one can use when buying cupboard pulls. This article discusses the most important ones.

First, it is important to consider the finish and color of the cupboard. These handles should complement the drawers and doors well, instead of making them look sloppy and uncoordinated. Second, one should count how many knobs or handles they need. This lets them know how much money they would need to spend and help them budget accordingly. There are many websites online that indicate the price of a knob, so they can check if they have enough money to buy all the needed hardware. Other websites offer free shipping if one buys cupboard handles wholesale, while others sell these handles at a discount.

One may also decide to use less cabinet knobs and more handles or to use equal amounts of both. Handles are best used on lower drawers, while knobs are ideal for upper cupboard doors. Before making any big purchases, one should first buy a sample of the knob or handle that they like the most and check if it goes well with their drawers or not.

The installation of these pulls may take some time, depending on how many drawers a person has in the room. One should have measuring tape to make sure that the placement of the drawer handle is in the center. Screws, a pencil, masking tape, a drill bit, and an electric drill are other tools that are used to install drawers onto the cupboard.

Whether you choose chrome pulls or round, wooden knobs, it is important that you choose something that not only goes well with your cupboard, but also hides the holes left by previous cabinet knobs.
