Hardware comes in many different sizes, so choosing the right one can be challenging. In general, your hardware should look in proportion to the rest of your project. It should also be functional. Measure the size and thickness of your fixtures or materials to make sure they're compatible with the hardware you like. If you're replacing old hardware, choosing new hardware of a similar size makes sense. For new projects, online instruction guides can be useful. People with large hands usually find using large handles and knobs more comfortable. Adding a single large handle to the middle of a drawer with heavy items, such as pots and pans, will distribute weight more evenly than smaller handles at each end.
