How to Pick Cabinet Hardware?

Choosing the Perfect Hardware to Complete Your Kitchen Cabinets

Cabinet refacing is the perfect choice to upgrade and change a kitchen. While a new look and feel is something many people want in their kitchen, it can be difficult to know exactly what new things you want for your kitchen. Maybe you know what colors you’d like the cabinets to be, but have you thought about how to pick the cabinet hardware? The finish is important, but there are other decisions like what style you want the hardware to be, or even if you want knobs or pulls on your cabinets. Luckily, Redo Cabinets has your back! We have all the factors you need to consider for your kitchen’s new hardware.

Pulls or Knobs?

One of the first decisions that need to be made is whether you want pulls or knobs. Pulls and knobs both have their benefits, but it mostly comes down to personal preference. Knobs are either circular or square and are generally cheaper than pulls. However, knobs can be harder to grab than pulls, which can make them a worse option for some people. Pulls are long handles that are easy to grab but can be harder to install. Either option can give you a gorgeous kitchen.

  • Decide between kitchen cabinet pulls and knobs based on personal preference and functionality.
  • Knobs are cost-effective but may be harder to grip compared to pulls.
  • Pulls offer easier handling but might be more challenging to install.

Hardware Styles

The style of your hardware can go a long way to help or hurt your kitchen’s overall style. Pulls are typically used in more modern-style kitchens, with knobs being consistently used in classic-looking kitchens. However, that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with these choices. Pulls on shaker-style cabinets can mix up the style and add nuance to your kitchen, and knobs can work with just about anything. Make sure you’re in love with the choice you make, as you’ll be stuck with whatever hardware you choose.

  • Choose hardware that complements your kitchen’s overall style.
  • Pulls suit modern kitchens, while knobs fit classic aesthetics, yet flexibility exists.
  • Consider how pulls on shaker-style cabinets or knobs on various designs can enhance your kitchen.

Hardware Finishes

The finish and color are a great way to add a little pop to your cabinets. Contrasting your hardware and the color of the cabinets can make the beautiful hardware draw the gaze of all of your visitors. On the other hand, making the hardware and cabinetry comparable colors can make your kitchen seem more seamless. That can allow you to draw attention to other parts of your kitchen. many people think you have to choose hardware that matches the sink or appliances. However, that’s not true. As long as you are pleased with how the colors compare or contrast then it’s perfect.

  • Select finishes and colors that either contrast or match your cabinets for visual impact.
  • Contrasting hardware can draw attention while matching colors promote seamlessness.
  • Don’t feel restricted to match hardware with sinks or appliances; focus on what pleases you.

Jace is an incredible installer. He is meticulous with his work and makes sure everything is immaculate when he leaves each day. He arrives on the dot and if he’s running late because of an accident, he contacts you to let you know what time he will arrive. We were able to use our kitchen every night and every morning before he showed up to work on the project. He helped solve some issues that arose and I trusted his opinions and advice. While there was a manufacturing issue with a few of the doors , Jace contacted the company and replacements are already being made and I will insist that it’s Jace who comes back to swap out the doors. The nicest, friendliest, and most meticulous person I’ve ever had work on a home improvement project in my home, hands down!

I specifically requested John to come out and make some final design /cabinet modifications. He was prompt, and his workmanship is top notch. He left my kitchen clean and removed all materials. Very please! Great work!

Only had one problem since getting new Redo Cabinets and it was corrected in a timely manner and to our satisfaction. Definitely worth using Redo again if they are ever needed. Jon Falwell was a pleasure to meet.

Had a great salesman Thomas Roberts! Went over everything in great detail for our pricing. We had a Lowe’s give us a price also which was cheaper but the thorough description of exactly what Redo Cabinets does for each customer was amazing. Also a lifetime warranty on everything including hinges! We were sold. Thanks Thomas!
