February is a great month to focus on small interior updates that can make a noticeable difference, starting with cabinet hardware. Over time, knobs and pulls loosen, finishes wear, and styles begin to look dated, even if the cabinets themselves are still in good shape. Walk through the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry areas and check for loose screws, missing hardware, or pieces that no longer function smoothly. Tightening or replacing hardware is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to refresh a space. If you are considering updating hardware, consistency matters. Choose one finish and style for each room to create a cohesive look. Matte black, brushed nickel, and champagne bronze remain popular choices because they work well with many cabinet colors and hold up to daily use. Before purchasing replacements, measure the distance between screw holes on existing hardware to avoid unnecessary patching. Many modern options are designed to fit standard spacing, making upgrades straightforward. February is an ideal time for these projects because they can be completed indoors and without major disruption. Small updates like this help maintain your home’s appearance and prevent minor issues from becoming bigger ones later. Home Maintenance
