Building or renovating your home? How exciting! One of the best parts of the job is choosing the accents that will make your home a unique joy to behold, and one of those elements is, of course, the cabinetry drawer handles.
So, once you’ve decided on other accents like blinds, lights, plants and paint, it’s time to start thinking about this subtle-yet-effective home addition.
Let’s take a look at how to choose the perfect design for you:
1. The style you are looking for
This is naturally the most important element because, come on, they cabinetry handles and you would expect them to get the job done regardless! Style is essential, and so whether you’re going for stunning antique drawer knobs, stylishly retro, contemporary classics or something completely different, this is what’s going to make all the aesthetic difference (and impact the room’s overall aesthetic, too!).
The best way to find the perfect style is to conduct a quick Google search: here you will find product lists with a huge range of designs that you can then picture putting in your kitchen, bedroom, whichever room needs them, really!
2. What type of handle do you want?
The handle type is important and typically depends on the room’s overall aesthetic. There are square and round designs, short and long ones and whatever else you can think of when it comes to contemporary home design!
Typically, the more narrow the drawer, the more narrow the handle; the wider the drawer, the longer the handle. Once again, this is simply for aesthetic purposes – you don’t really have to overthink their functionality.
3. What is the environment?
The drawer’s location is one non-aesthetic factor that you must consider when choosing your handles. Will the handles be located near some gnarly conditions that will make them susceptible to wear and tear? When it comes to this aspect of choosing your handles you must go for the higher quality option.
For example, aluminium handles are susceptible to corrosion when used in harsher climatic conditions, so this is something you will want to look out for to ensure that your handles aren’t susceptible to rust or other wear. Of course, you can simply ask your supplier what design is right for the different parts of the home and this will make a huge difference in the outcome.
4. The materials used
Along with the handle’s ultimate finish, you need to choose a suitable material (once again relating back to the environment). You have to consider what is not only going to withstand whatever environment you place them in, but what is also going to have a stylish aesthetic and one that matches the cabinetry and room’s general aesthetic.
5. What colour will you go for?
This is important as you will want it to once again match the style and overall design of your room. There are plenty of stylish tones to choose from for both retro and contemporary designs, so you can trust that you will pick up a style that is most suitable for your tastes.
Simply follow the above tips
As you can see, choosing these impactful accents isn’t the most difficult part of home design, you just have to choose a style, material and tone that is going to be most suitable for your home! Of course, you can get as creative or as standard as you like with this situation, but the general rule is to choose a stylish piece that matches your cabinetry and you can’t go wrong!
