You can find decorative knobs in endless shapes and sizes—whimsical
butterflies and other insects and animals, plants, glass gems,
hand-painted ceramics, and metal bulbs, to name a few. You can search
through thousands of variations until you find the knob that is just
right for you.
Decorative hardware is a highly competitive business, with most
manufacturers offering a great selection of cabinet pulls. These pulls
incorporate designs with shapes and images that have never been seen on
cabinetry until recently. You will also want to check out the cup/bin
pull, which is made from a sturdy material like brass, as they stand out
but do not clash with the cabinetry.
Combining pulls and handles can give any cabinetry a custom made look.
Ornamental hardware looks especially great on wood cabinets and drawers.
Decorative hardware can transform the look of cabinets and furniture.
Many designers suggest that classic metal pulls and handles look best on
wood cabinets with a rich, deep tone. Solid brass or chrome are the
highest quality materials for cabinetry and last for generations.
Straps installed on the outside of a cabinet door can create the effect
of an antique. Some hardware manufacturers put straps on their hinges to
add strength for heavier cabinet doors. This type of hinge tends to be
more expensive than other hinge types. Most modern hinges are installed
on the inside of cabinet doors. To achieve a rustic effect, a separate
strap can be added.
