| If you're decorating your new kitchen or bathroom, you'll find that selecting your cabinet and drawer handles and knobs is lots of fun. It's almost like picking out the perfect jewelry for your dress or suit. Cabinet hardware provides the finishing touch to cabinets and drawers, and can also add a spark of color and style.
With so many online sites available for browsing and buying, the homeowner is not limited to what is offered at the local hardware store or home remodeling center. Handles, knobs, and pulls are available in a huge array of colors, shapes, styles, and designs.
Whether your style is traditional or eclectic, modern or classic, you'll find that there is something for everyone. Choose brushed nickel, polished chrome, different iron types, burnished brass, polished brass, satin silver, or many other styles.
You can use your knobs and drawer pulls to continue your decorating theme.
Handle styles come in all shapes and sizes.
Knobs and pulls are the most visible of cabinet hardware and can help define the look of your cabinets:
* Knobs are handles mounted to doors or drawers with a single screw and bolt. Some knobs have screws built in and are easier to install than ones with separate screws. Knobs can be combined with a backplate or used alone. Knobs range in size from 3/4" to 2" in diameter.
* Pulls serve the same function as knobs, but occupy more space. Therefore, pulls greatly impact the appearance of a cabinet. Pulls can be combined with a backplate or used alone and are usually attached with two screws.
