Kitchen handles may seem like the most innocuous part of a remodel. After all, they’re just handles, right? You grab them, pull them, grab what you need and close the cabinet. But they actually play a massive role in completing your remodel’s style and functionality. They can be that subtle touch that makes people say, “wow, you really did a great job with the design”.
With this in mind, there are a few things to consider when choosing these imperative appendages. From style to finish and more, here are a few important considerations when choosing this essential part of any kitchen remodel:
Style
There are so many sophisticated joinery handles on the market it can be hard to choose the right style for your kitchen. From architectural styles to classic knobs, lip pulls and vintage designs, choosing this part of your remodel can suddenly become a bit of a tricky experience. But, hey, isn’t that all part of the fun of a remodel? Taking your time to choose the right designs that are going to complement the makeover and give it that ultimate wow factor?
The best way to choose your style is to leave it late. This is because it is one of the kitchen’s finishing touches and your design doesn’t have to revolve around them – they should revolve around the design. So, once you have designed the bulk of the remodel – including appliances, paintwork and more – you can then go on to choose which cabinet handles are going to add that perfect finishing touch!
Functionality
Functionality is imperative to any kitchen remodel. You want to create the perfect blend between practical form and stunning sophistication. So, when you are choosing your cabinet handles, you must consider how they are going to function with the rest of your design. It may seem innocuous but it will end up making a massive difference to your overall design.
So, do you want the architectural style? With its easy grab-and-pull functionality? Or, are you more of a classic kitchen knobs person, who likes the style and simplicity that they add to any design? Or, do you want to go for the ultra-modern lip pull design? Which looks sleek and stylish whilst making grabbing your essentials simple?
This is one of the exciting parts of your remodel – choosing a design that is going to perfectly blend style and functionality!
Material
What materials are going to be perfect for your kitchen remodel? You have a range of options at your disposal, including aluminium, brass, timber and more. This is obviously more of an aesthetic consideration as it will play a massive role in how your overall remodel looks upon completion. But it is one of the easier considerations and you have fun looking through the awesome materials available!
Blend
How is your choice going to blend in with the overall remodel? Is it going to add that touch of style and sophistication that invited you to do the remodel in the first place? Is it going to be fully functional for everyone in the family to use?
This is where you combine the two above-mentioned considerations to ensure that, when you have installed them in their place, they are those that blend in perfectly with the remodel.
You might take some time to decide as there are so many to choose from. But, eventually, you will have that “oh, yep!” moment that will tell you that you have made the perfect choice!
