Trendy Cabinets – The Right Cabinet Pulls

By Jennifer Akre

Kitchen cabinet pulls. Ready for a makeover in your kitchen or bathroom? Usually this involves making a massive change in the area of the cabinets, or more specifically the cabinet hardware. Just changing out the cabinet hardware will make a substantial difference in the overall look of the room. A lot of people don’t think changing a couple pulls will make a big difference, but the truth is, this is the first thing that people look at.

When you walk in a bathroom or kitchen and are getting a “lay of the land” what do you notice? Not only do you notice they have cabinets, but your eyes automatically look at how the cabinets operate. This is most likely a human reflex of making sure we understand how to do something in case we need to. But in the case of home décor you can use simple changes to the cabinets to make a world of difference in the overall look of the room. Since we know people will be looking at cabinet pulls, knobs and other hardware pieces, changing these out to something a little more stylish will make the entire room seem trendier.

So now all you need to know is what’s in style when it comes to cabinet hardware. This article has the answer for you. There are four fashion trends this year that can specifically relate to the hardware on cabinetry throughout your home.

Romantic

The first of the trends in home décor is a fun one to bring to life. We’re talking romantic, flamboyance and luxurious pieces of hardware. From metal that swirls to pieces that are jewel and crystal encrusted, you can go over the top with regal beauty in this particular style setting.

Minimal

The next option is to stick with basic functional pieces of hardware. The minimal design trend is to just use what you need to get the job done. These pieces are not flashy and quite often in some cases can seem to blend right in to the piece of furniture.

Metal

Metal is another of this year’s style trends. This is extremely convenient when it comes to cabinet hardware, as many pieces of cabinet hardware are made out of metal. But, with it being one of the trends for this year, this also means that manufacturers, trying to be trendy, are making more and more pieces out of metal, giving you even greater variety when it’s time for you to choose new hardware pieces.

Unique Shapes

The final trend you may want to put in place when it comes to changing out your cabinet pulls and other pieces of hardware are for unique shapes. Since unique shapes are in, if you’ve been thinking about doing something different or whimsical, this would definitely be the time to do it. If you had a theme in place in this room, you can even enhance it by choosing complementary handles and knobs.
