The Best Handles And Knobs For Your Kitchenset – Every article I’ve probably ever read or written about rental hacks to “level up” the style of your home—and there have been quite a few—involves replacing hardware in one form or another. Whether that means replacing all the kitchen knobs, the bathroom vanity, or just some DIY furniture repairs you’ve been working on, it’s clear that the key to all of your rental woes lies in a roughly 1-inch piece of metal. But really, the difference new cabinet handles and pulls can make in a kitchen or bathroom is significant, and often, it’s one of the only things you have control over when sticking to a tight rental agreement.
Let’s take Brady’s Kitchen MOTO (below) as an example. Yes, there were a lot of night and day changes (that floor, paint, light fixtures), but the brass knobs she added changed her kitchen cabinets almost immediately.

Jess also made a switcheroo in her rental kitchen, and matte black knobs help add a kick and vibrancy to Cali’s casual vibe. He got his from Etsy seller Forge Hardware Studio for $8 a pop, so for under $50, his cabinet had a completely reversible makeover. The best course of action if you are a tenant is to use the same holes that are assigned to them, that way when you are moving, you only have to open the main handles (be sure to keep them safe and sound.. .I keep mine in a ziplock bag in the drawer or wherever I store all my stuff.Of course, you have a blank check to do whatever you want Do (but you already know that).
What To Look For When Buying Kitchen Cabinet Hardware
Kitchen and bathroom “jewelry” sounds like it can cost a fortune, and it turns out, it can. Once upon a time, I bought two $40 IKEA Rast shelves to use as nightstands and spent an extra $300 on campaign-style brass knobs to hack up my sleeves…it was like wearing old navy ballet flats with Carolina Herrera . evening dress If the final look makes you happy (it does) then who cares, but it still looks a little…wrong. Anyway, I don’t regret the decision, and I still have those nightstands in my guest bedroom, but the thing is, you don’t have to spend a fortune on great hardware. There are a lot of great options in store and online right now, especially at great prices (for example, we have a 10-piece set for under $20 in our collection).
For the next three steps (handles, bars, and pulls), we stuck to a $10 budget, and many of them ended up working, plus all of these could work equally well in the kitchen, bathroom, or furniture. let’s take a look.

Knobs are great for one main reason: there’s no measuring center or ensuring that any holes you might need to drill are flush. One hole and that’s it, folks. The grips come in a more traditional style, but Jess found a 30 that’s a great mix of aesthetics no matter what you’re looking for. For example, #1 screw-on knobs are the cool kids of school right now…matte black, textured, small (all of which are very “in” in hardware right now). Wood always adds a warm mid-century feel to your space/piece, so check out #3, #13, and #20 if you’re into that. #14 is very similar to what Emily used in her powder bathroom vanity (set of 2 is $9!) and I’m totally obsessed with the wood and brass combination of #27.

Grips and bars are a bit more expensive than grips, but they’re bigger, so…it makes sense. Note that most of the measurements you see are center to center of where the screws go (not the length of the entire piece of hardware. Of course, we like some shiny/satin brass or matte black, but polished nickel works just as well. Convert One of our favorite finishes for more traditional spaces, Emily used it in her Portland project, and every time I see it, it makes me commit to brass being warmer than chrome, and having more depth than brushed nickel. In #1, the simplicity of #2 and #15 looks great, while I think these would look great in a dresser or cabinet you’re redoing.The console I painted a soft Swedish blue and The rose gold is very pretty (IMHO) against the pale cold color.

While grips and pulls dominate the hardware category, one of our favorite dark horses is actually finger pulls and ledges. Traditional pulls like #5, #10, #12 and #14 have long been classic kitchen and bathroom staples, but more subtle and elegant pulls like #1, #9 (these are very well priced) And #13 is quickly becoming a favorite in spaces of all styles. For example, Emily’s rustic-yet-modern mountain home kitchen used a mix of Schoolhouse black metal bars and window sills that have enough visual presence without taking away from the focus on the crazy Ross Alan Reclaimed Lumber cabinets. Something like leather #11 might be left on the furniture for extra durability, and these come in a few different colors, FYI.
