A common trend we see in kitchens is exactly what Courtney installed in her home. “I did knobs on doors, pulls on drawers,” she says. This creates continuity between the doors, whether on top or bottom cabinets while accentuating the row of drawers situated underneath the countertops. If you really want your varied design to pop, consider using a bright color like the gold ones shown here, which contrasts with the white shaker cabinets for a touch of luxury.
“Hardware makes a bigger statement than you realize,” interior designer Neha Kaimal notes. They are the detail that makes the space feel more elevated. “For clients making hardware decisions, I suggest mixing pulls and knobs to infuse visual interest and a touch of playfulness, giving the kitchen a professionally curated appearance. Consistency in the same family and finish ensures a cohesive and well-designed aesthetic,” Kaimal advises.
