Factors When Choosing Kitchen Cupboard Handles

Colour

The color and furnish you choose should complement your kitchen cupboard’s current style and color. Remember, you must choose the same color and finish throughout your kitchen for uniformity even if the design of each handle is different. This gives your kitchen a more professional, unified look.

For example, if you go for an antique gold finish then use the same one for all your pulls, knobs, and handles.

Choices available in the market include brass, steel, chrome, enamel color, wooden finish, black, white, and many more.

Style

Keep the style consistent with the rest of your kitchen’s design elements.

For reference:

  • Long square hardware styles perfectly complement plain flat shutters
  • Rounded pulls or square knob handles work well with arched panels
  • Curved handle styles are more traditional
  • Square handles give a more contemporary vibe

Comfort

A kitchen should be designed for your comfort and functionality above all else. The design will follow. If you can, make sure to try how the handles you are considering would feel when you actually use them.

Is it comfortable and convenient? Try it out yourself instead of relying on pictures and regretting your choice later.

Pricing

Your budget should always inform your purchase decisions, but it doesn’t mean you should settle for subpar design and quality.

If you use your kitchen regularly, wear and tear are inevitable. Choose kitchen cupboard handles that are durable and won’t have to be replaced too often.

Your handle of choice will also be in your kitchen for a long time so choose a timeless design you’ll love for a long time!

Generally, knob handles are less expensive than pull handles. The price will also depend on the material and finish you choose. Steel and chrome are typically less expensive options.

Types of Kitchen Cupboard Handles

The style you choose will affect the look and functionality of your kitchen cabinets. Pulls or handles are better for heavy-duty drawers since they make it easier to open or close them. Knobs are better for lighter cabinets and drawer doors.

If you’re more concerned about aesthetics, ornate knobs suit more traditional designs while contemporary kitchens would benefit from pulls or long steel handles.

Push Latches

These handles only require a gentle touch to open shutters or drawers. There is a magnetic or mechanical device fitted inside of the cabinet and when installed properly, help the door click softly back into place.

Integrated Handles

For modern kitchens, you can create a sleek look with integrated or hidden handles. These have a beveled or recessed gap you can hook your fingers into when pulling. You can paint or fit this integrated handle with a different color for easier use.

Recessed Pulls

Simple and utilitarian, recessed pulls are built into cabinet shutters. They can be built into the door itself or fitted with a mold, usually a contrasting metal fitting so you can easily find it. If your kitchen is a bit narrow, it’s one way to help save space.

Vintage Handles

These handles are available in metal, brass, silver, copper, and black metal finishes. Antique-looking kitchen cupboard handles are perfect for vintage-style wooden cabinets for a more rustic aesthetic.

Regular Hinges

Hinges are ideal for side-opening cabinet shutters. They are available in a variety of styles, single-hinged or double-hinged, and are preferred for their simplicity and durability.

Cabinets fitted with hinges can open from 90 degrees to 270 degrees depending on the cabinet design.

Lift-Up Hinges

If you have a loft or overhead cabinet in your kitchen, lift-up hinges are your best and most convenient option. They open with a slight push and would stay open until it’s closed.

Final Tips for Choosing Kitchen Cupboard Handles

Handles go out of style really fast and may get phased out of production before you’re ready to remodel your whole kitchen. Prepare for the possibility of needing a handle or two replaced by buying extra pieces of your kitchen cupboard handles of choice.

Hardware is a small detail that can have a big impact on the overall look of your kitchen. It’s a daunting task but with expert advice, you can find the perfect one!

Luckily, you don’t have to look too far to find the best kitchen cupboard handles in Perth! Check out your various options and our team will help you pick the best one for your design needs.
