Enhance your kitchen with the right hardware

Many homeowners don’t understand the importance of upgrading kitchen hardware when renovating their kitchen. When you make the move from old hardware to new hardware, everyone will notice. In addition to giving it a great new look, the new hardware will also help make things more functional.

One of the most important parts of kitchen hardware are the knobs and pulls used on cabinet doors. Experts say that these pieces are the most important part of the kitchen’s appearance.

Unfortunately, knobs and pulls can be quite expensive. But remember, they are used almost every day when opening or closing cabinets and drawers. The placement of knobs and handles is something that really makes a difference. Typically, you will find that drawer pulls are positioned in the center of the drawer.

Choosing knobs and handles can be tricky as there are so many options to choose from. There is everything from modern, vintage, country, classic and more. Whatever your decor, there are hardware to match it!

Another part of the kitchen hardware to take into account are the hinges. The most important part about hinges, apart from being functional, is that they match the knobs and pulls. You’ll also want to make sure they can support the cabinets. If you are using heavy grade kitchen cabinets, use heavy duty hinges.

The last piece of hardware is the drawer slides. Even if you can’t see the slides, it’s important to opt for quality slides. Lower end drawer slides will break and cause issues with the drawers opening. Nothing worse than a drawer falling off the rail!

You can find drawer slides at most home supply stores or online. They are easy to install, but be sure to follow the instructions. Many drawers also come with slides, so always check for quality if they are included.

In conclusion, it is very important to choose quality hardware when renovating a kitchen. Of course, it’s even more important to stay within your budget, but if you can’t afford it, wait! Good luck!
