HARDWARE
For a superb finished look, the devil is in the details. Hardware that goes on the cabinets can really make them shine. That’s why I call them cabinetry jewelry.
The European finish is very popular right now, which is no knob and flat panels, but the majority of our remodels, the cabinetry needs to be finished with hand-selected knobs and handles. It seems like a subtle detail, but we really want to get the owner’s touch integrated into the remodel.
When picking out your knobs, there is a vast selection of hardware to choose from. I recommend that you go onto Amazon.com. It’s pretty easy to filter through the inventory, and you can buy samples for cheap. There really is no need to spend $150 per knob. Amazon will filter those out. But you should plan on budgeting between $3 – $5 per knob. There is a wide selection at that price point. I guarantee that you will be able to find something that you love.
When it comes to installing the knobs, do not do it yourself. Your cabinet maker or contractor should be the ones to do it as it does require some precision and skill. You want all those knobs to be perfectly aligned and level. You can have a party dress, but it’s the jewelry on the dress that makes it pop. That is what your hardware will do for your remodel.
