Timothy’s Finds: Cabinet Hardware
INSPIRATION
If you are knee deep in designing a custom home or renovation you are knee deep in making selections. Trust me. I get it. No matter how excited you may be about designing and building a new home at some point you will become overwhelmed.
No worries! I am here yet again for more solutions. There are millions of options. In this blog posts, I wanted to share a few tips to help guide you in the right direction and share the most common styles and shape that currently on trend.
I hope this posts help you make strong and confident decisions as you plan and build an amazing custom home for your family.
Tip #1 Choose between pulls and knobs. There is no hard rule here, but I would say in my design practice we typically encourage our clients to up knobs on the upper cabinets and pulls on the base cabinets
Tip #2 Consider the finish. There are usually several different finish options for each product for every vendor you choose to consider. We are about creating elevated design today. Everything should not and does not have to matter. When making your selections, consider the metal finishes you will have throughout the kitchen. Let’s remember the metal on the lighting, appliances, sink, faucets and even window hardware. They should compliment but not match.
Just as with lighting, cabinet hardware is a great way to add style and personality into your kitchen. I highly encourage you reach beyond what is on display at your local hardware store. There are many many great vendors at various price points.
Don’t miss this chance to make great selections that will elevate your kitchen!
I love the graphic nature of the pull. I can imagine it beautifully added to white or blue base cabinets. Simply Magical!
This handle is masculine yet whimsical. In addition, I love how metal an walnut is mixed in one great piece. Talk about high style!
This handle is simple and function. There are times when the basics will do just fine. If you backsplash is super busy—tone it down with the hardware!
This piece is hand painted but I love how it mimics stone. Couldn’t you see this in a kitchen in a Bahamian inspired coastal design?
Remember, I am all about mixing materials. Lucite made a come back a few years ago—it’s still here!
This piece is simple clean and industrious. The backplate adds additional detail to what could otherwise be seen as a basic piece. Would you install vertically or horizontally?
There you have it! Aren’t these options fun and exciting? I certainly hope that after reading this post you feel inspired to be creative. Even if you aren’t building a new home cabinet hardware is an amazing way to spruce up your kitchen.
