An Elegant Guide to Selecting the Perfect Hardware Size Finding the right hardware for your cabinetry can elevate the entire look of your space. With thoughtful consideration, you can achieve a harmonious balance between aesthetics and functionality, ensuring that every detail contributes to a seamless design.
Design Tip: When choosing hardware, balance is key. For larger cabinets or drawers, opt for longer handles or oversized pulls to create a sense of proportion and elegance. Smaller cabinets or drawers benefit from more delicate knobs or shorter pulls to maintain visual harmony. Also, consider the style—sleek, modern hardware complements minimalist cabinetry, while more ornate designs work well with traditional or transitional styles. The right hardware should enhance the overall design without overwhelming.
