Here are a few tips to help you select the right knobs and pulls for your cupboards.

Choose your cabinets

The design of the cabinets as well as the color of the material will play an important role in your choice of knobs and pulls. For example, if you have selected frameless dark wood doors, you may want to select a more contemporary modern brushed chrome. On the other hand, if you have opted for oak, you may seek out a traditional ceramic or ornate bronze hardware.

Go for quality

Remember that these knobs and pulls will experience a great deal of daily use and thus they need to be made of top quality materials. While low cost metal or plastic options may seem like a great way to cut down on cost, this can also lead to future repairs or replacements. Additionally, if they are not sturdy enough they may contribute to extra wear and tear on the cabinets themselves.
