One of the primary purposes of redoing your home is improving the functionality of the fittings and fixtures you have. Renovation and remodeling of homes should not only consider the beauty aspect and the current trend, but also to cater what you require from your home, which is easy operation and maximum utility.  The cabinets are one of the most used parts of your home, just as the cabinet handles.

Choosing the Right Hardware

People often end up choosing a design which is very catchy but is not effective in the role it is supposed to play. So while selecting your cabinet handles, look for something that remains trendy for a long time. If you are looking for handles, which can move a large door, the first consideration should be the strength of the material. You use large doors to hide the cooking area in the kitchen or the bin. You will be frequently using these pulls so make sure to avoid using handles which are fancy and ornamental. Use these for less used doors or drawers placed in your sitting room.

Give a New Face to Your Kitchen

Remodeling the whole kitchen that is sturdy enough to last for some years is a waste of money. Here are small changes that can give a facelift to your cabinets.

• Changing the hardware is an affordable and innovative method of giving a fresh feel to your cabinets. Adding that sleek handle will give a modern look to your kitchen in no time.

• Going for an intricate design is not an option if you do not have much time to clean and maintain your house. You need to choose the cabinet handles with ornate

Design for a traditional look.

• Selecting a doorknob that needs you to make new holes in the door will destroy the flawless look of your cupboard. Measure the gap between the two ends of the old handle and choose one that shall fit into this measurement.

Correct Placement of Handles

Proper placement of the cabinet handles will contribute to increasing its functionality.  Whether the pulls will be fixed on the wardrobes, on the drawers or cabinet doors is an important consideration. Consider the points given below when placing your hardware.

• Use handles that are easy to pull. When fixing them on sliding doors or large heavy wardrobe doors, set the handles at the central point between the two edges of the door, opposite the hinges. If the cabinet is at a height, fix the hardware a few inches above the bottom edge. Place the knob half an inch away from the brink of a door. For heavy drawers you need to place the handle centrally for those that shall contain only light things, place them a few inches below the top edge.

• Consider the height of the person who shall use the cabinet handles, when fixing them. For a short person, pull down the handles a bit. Do the opposite for a tall person.

Style Matters

Using a wrong style of handles compromises the aesthetic appeal. Choose a style that goes with the decor of the area where you are using it. If you want to give a modern look to your kitchen, use cabinet handles that look sleek yet durable. Do not use the same design for the whole house. Selecting different styles for the different rooms can give a distinctive character to your living space. For the kids’ room, use colorful plastic handles or ones that come in cartoons or animal shapes. For your old grandma wardrobes, using ornamental golden handles will enhance its look.
