Transforming with Decorative Hardware in the Kitchen:
In the kitchen, it’s important to adorn cabinets and drawers with functional hardware that is comfortable to grasp and easy to
clean. These draws need to be easy to access as you perform multiple tasks such as chopping, mixing, kneading, and stir-frying.
While most people opt for knobs on their cabinetry, hardware pulls are often easier to grasp and just as decorative. Choose a
lovely brushed satin pewter seaside pull
to create an ocean theme in the kitchen, or create a stately look with a
heavily
patterned pull. Keep in mind the size of your cabinets and drawers; choose a handle or pull that will not overpower the
cabinetry.
Ideas for the Bathroom:
The bathroom is a wonderful place for creativity. This area can come to life with the correct decorative hardware. Create a modern
look in the master bathroom with a brushed satin pewter
ring and dot knob. Select a towel rack, soap dish, and toilet paper
dispenser of the same material. Create a playful look in a child’s bathroom with a
horizontal lines knob or a
starfish knob.
The possibilities are endless for playful, creative knobs and handles to brighten up and refurbish the look of a worn bathroom.
Keep in mind that your decorative hardware options in the bathroom also include towel racks, robe hooks, corner shower baskets,
tissue holders, and more. Add in a new bathroom mirror or medicine cabinet, and you’ve truly transformed the bathroom with ease.
Hardware Hints Throughout the Home:
Decorative hardware changes don’t have to stop with the kitchen and bathroom. There are limitless possibilities for refurbishing
old dressers, armoires, television centers and so much more with new hardware. Create an eclectic look by placing a modern knob or
handle on an antique armoire. Add color to a natural wood entertainment center with a red, white or black door handle. Whether
you enjoy traditional or contemporary designs, decorative hardware allows you to create easy changes and to enact an instant
make-over.
