The Finishing Touch: Hardware Selections

Embarking on a journey to find the perfect hardware for cabinetry is an exciting adventure. Let's explore the intricate world of hardware decisions, uncovering insights to help you make choices that align with your unique style and needs.

Think about the crucial balance between beauty and functionality within your living spaces. Picture a modern design where simplicity is key, requiring discreet finger pulls that seamlessly complement the sleek lines of your cabinets. On the flip side, in a more traditional setting, ornate handles or knobs can take center stage, adding a touch of grandeur to the overall aesthetic.

Now, consider the allure of uniformity versus the thrill of mixing and matching. Are you drawn to a consistent pull throughout, creating a sense of cohesion? In the case of the laundry room pictured, we opted to select the same handle on all of the cabinetry to balance out the playful and colorful porcelain tile floor. Our goal was for all of the elements in the space to enhance each other vs. compete for center stage.

Alternatively, does the idea of eclectic charm appeal to you? Try to embrace a playful combination of knobs and handles within the same room. We incorporated varying sizes and profiles in this traditional kitchen by blending the same gun metal finish to match the gorgeous decorative hood. However, if you look closely, you’ll see that we mixed various styles on the lower cabinets and island to complete the overall look.

Hardware goes beyond mere handles and knobs. Typically, one would provide a cabinet or pedestal sink with towel bars on the side wall. Something we love to do (especially in a small bathroom) is to provide an elevated console sink as shown attached. These sophisticated basins feature the perfect spot for a decorative hand towel, seamlessly blending practicality with elegance.

Think of these considerations as your guiding principles when selecting hardware. Knobs and pulls do not have to be just utilitarian; they can be a fun and exciting reflection of your style and personality.
