Cabinet Hardware
Hardware can be the jewelry that completes your kitchen or bathroom cabinets. When choosing hardware, there are numerous factors to consider, including color, size, and function. It is crucial to recognize that this should be a thoughtful investment.

We have 3 tips to make your hardware choice easier:
First, ask yourself what is going on in the room that your hardware could talk to or accent? Consider the door hardware color or plumbing finishes in the space. You can continue the metal story of your faucet color OR you can mix metals and introduce another finish.
Next, you want to think about the scale of your cabinet hardware in relation to the cabinet door or drawer. Do you have new cabinets and want to make a statement with an oversized or longer piece of hardware? Or, are you going for a more understated look? If so, you might select an edge pull with a thin line exposure. Do you have existing holes in the cabinet doors? Choose hardware that’s the same size as the install points of the hardware.
Lastly, and often overlooked, consider how the handle or pull feels in your hand. Is it easy to grab, and does it provide a secure grip, considering the size and weight of the cabinet or door you are opening? Additionally, the placement of the hardware is essential. Is it positioned at a convenient height for both frequent and infrequent use?
