The world of hardware is broad, but these fixtures in your kitchen will go through hard, regular use and thorough wear and tear, so the functionality for each handle, knob, cup, or pull must be considered first, this will be just as important as the overall aesthetic style you wish to achieve.
Inbuilt appliances, deeper drawers that contain heavier items, pantries, and bin-pulls will work better with stronger, wider handles which will give you more purchases. Smaller, delicate knobs and handles are more often chosen for lighter use such as wall cabinets or cutlery drawers.
Minimalist kitchens will benefit from handles that are seamlessly carved into a drawer, these can be decorated with hints of material such as brass, or bright blocks of vivid colors.
Traditional kitchens offer often better suited to classical shapes, for example, cups, ring pulls, a butler’s knob, or a rack and pinion catch, aged or not in brass, copper, or even bronze.
When choosing the material, shape and design, handles that are cohesive to the style of your kitchen are likely to work best, a classical drawer pull will work with a more traditional and rustic kitchen, while sleek, or handle-less drawers work well in a modern kitchen. However, as noted before rules are meant to be broken, so experiment with styles, pair them with colors and cabinets and see what works for you.
