Our kitchens have become the heart of our homes. With an open floor plan, the kitchen has become the gathering place for your family and friends. All the elements in a kitchen design are essential; however, don’t let the kitchen cabinet hardware become a last-minute afterthought. With so many sleek designs available, why not add beautiful cabinet pulls and knobs that you will love. Consider kitchen cabinet hardware that makes a statement.

Cabinet Hardware and Mixing Metals

Designing a kitchen will involve many selections that must come together for a cohesive design. For example, a question many people ask is if mixing metals in the kitchen is ok. Unfortunately, it is not a quick short answer:

1. It would help if you considered the mood and function of the kitchen. As an example, mixing stainless steel appliances with brass lighting and hardware looks excellent together.

2. There is a balance as long as you repeat the metal once or twice in the kitchen.

3. Try to keep the finish similar if you like brushed nickel; try to mix a brushed gold or matte black, not polished chrome.

Placement is Key

Your kitchen hardware will look timeless if the placement is correct. For cabinets, the installation should be veridical. However, on the drawers, install horizontal unless you are using knobs, then place centrally on the drawers.
