Cabinet hardware for the kitchen and beyond
14th August 2024
In any project, creating a truly sophisticated space that is functional, individual and stylish boils down to one undeniable truth: details matter. Often overlooked but ever-important, hardware can dramatically change the feel and aesthetic of a project, and choosing cabinet hardware is a vital decision in shaping the overall ambience of the home.
The joy of cabinet hardware is its versatility, and how easy it is to incorporate into the kitchen and beyond.
To the Kitchen…
Hosting, dining, partying, laughing. The kitchen is called the heart of the home for a reason, and deserves only the best when it comes to hardware and finishing touches.
Aside from functionality, an important factor to consider when deciding on the hardware is the overall style of the kitchen. Is it modern? Traditional? Or somewhere in-between?
Modern Kitchens: Clean lines and unobtrusive designs that sit in harmony with the cabinetry elevate the aesthetic of modern kitchens. The Linear Edge Pulls and Half Moon cabinet handles offer a streamlined appearance, and this can be further enhanced by long, linear appliance pulls such as the Round Appliance Pull. For a modern look with a twist, the intricate, knurled Avenue collection adds extra detailing. Contemporary finishes such as Zero Black and Satin Nickel match a variety of colours and styles.
Transitional kitchens: In this blend of modern and traditional, it can be fitting to mix and match styles. Timeless designs are eternally in style, and opting for designs such as the Plain Cabinet Handle, matched with the Patterdale Knob on lower cabinets creates visual interest without overwhelming the space. Light Antique Brass and Antique Nickel create an air of warmth that is universally stylish and ever welcoming.
Traditional Kitchens: To cultivate a classic aesthetic, ornate designs in Antique Brass and Polished Brass finishes marry traditional styles perfectly, creating an elegant statement. Ornate designs such the Reeded Ball Knob are firm favourites for traditional kitchens and Cast Drawer Pulls offer a beautiful alternative that doesn’t compromise the style.
And Beyond...
Cabinet hardware is not confined to the kitchen. Bathrooms, bedrooms and beyond can all benefit from elegant hardware accents and there are a myriad of ways to integrate them.
Bathroom Vanity: Choose luxurious options like the Pleated Edge Pull to elevate the ambiance of the bathroom. Due to the moisture in a bathroom, unlacquered finishes are the ideal options as, with proper care, they are less affected by the humid conditions.
Bedroom Furniture: There is a plethora of ways cabinet hardware can be used in a bedroom, from drawers to nightstands to wardrobes. For a cohesive look, choosing matching hardware from our collections adds a touch of luxury to everyday items and ensures continuity in the aesthetic. Small additions such as these can have a significant impact on the overall feel of one of the most important rooms in the house.
Home Office: Add a touch of sophistication with delicate knobs such as the Teardrop to add detail to desk drawers and filing cabinets. Nowadays, we spend a lot of time in the home office, so choose hardware to add personality and class - whether that’s a vintage style such as the Cast Drawer Pull with Card Frame or something more contemporary like the Roka Cabinet Knob.
Bringing It All Together
Cabinet hardware choices have a significant impact on the overall ambiance of a home. When choosing cabinet hardware for a project, the key things to consider are personality, aesthetics and function. Marrying the three together makes for cabinetry that exudes personality, feels opulent, and looks elegant.
Continuity is always key, and with our collections and a multitude of designs that complement each other, it is easy to foster whole-project cohesion.
