Choosing the Right Hardware for Kitchen and Bathroom Cabinets

Function and beauty are good reasons to love accessories like knobs and pulls. You not only need them to open your doors and drawers but also to help protect your cabinet finish from catching the oil on your fingers. They are available in styles and finishes that can enhance the design of your kitchen. Let Harbour View Kitchen & Bath guide you to the right hardware for your kitchen cabinets.

Knob or Pull

There are no strict rules to follow when choosing between a knob or a pull (or both). One preference is knobs for doors and pulls for drawers. It is much more comfortable to open a drawer using a pull. This allows the use of the whole hand instead of only fingertips.

When opting for pulls, consider how you will mount them. Use horizontal (contemporary) pulls for bathroom cabinets and vertical ones for doors. If you choose the latter, find one that is not heavy, as this adds weight to a kitchen. For a wide choice of quality knobs and pulls, turn to Harbour View Kitchen & Bath.

Square or Curved

It’s important to choose hardware that matches the lines in your cabinets, countertops and lighting. Get square hardware for similar cabinet styles, like shaker or flat panel. Hardware with square contours belongs to the more contemporary side of things.

Curved hardware has soft edges and more detail and is more traditional. Use it for curved cabinets, like those with raised panel doors and pillow-top doors. Also, include recessed panel doors with ogee edges, or beads on the inside or outside profiles.

From granite countertops to bathroom cabinetry, Harbour View Kitchen & Bath offers hardware from the best-known brands. You’re sure to find products that will match your home’s décor. We proudly serve residents of Chesapeake, VA, and other nearby areas. Call us at (757) 644-0848 for a free estimate.
