THE HIGH/LOW LIST – HARDWARE EDITION

So you’re updating your kitchen? Yay! You’ve probably already thought about your cabinetry and whether you’re starting from scratch or giving them a fresh coat of paint. But what about the hardware? Unfortunately hardware is often an afterthought in a home update, but to me cabinetry and hardware are a peanut butter and jelly situation…they’re equally important! A beautiful kitchen cabinet, bathroom vanity, or dresser is not complete without a complimentary knob or pull.

I’ve seen designers style kitchens with Ikea cabinetry and add high end hardware to richen the look. I’ve also seen custom cabinetry with budget friendly hardware to ease the cost. There’s not a right or wrong way…and today I’m giving you options for both large and small budgets!

Here are some stunning high end knobs and pulls and their budget friendly look-alikes (with incredible reviews) that are “Danica approved!”

The term “knurled” describes an object that has a series of small grooves that provide grip and/or decoration. In this case, it creates texture and it’s stunning!

If you want a low profile pull, these edge pulls sit flush with the top of the cabinet door. It’s a perfect look for modern cabinetry that needs no distraction.

Hello luxe hardware! The acrylic dowels and brass attachments add just enough glam to make a statement. If you’re going for luxury, these acrylic pulls are your best friend!

Again with the knurling! Sometimes a simple black knob with a touch of added decoration is all you need to complete the look. I swear this style of knob goes with nearly everything!

Gorgeous! With the comeback of traditional interiors, we’re seeing a rise in mushroom and ball knobs. Both these knobs are the most beautiful color of brass and oh my gosh I love them both! (PS I bought the $1.87 knobs from Amerock for my dresser makeover and they did not disappoint!)

Glass hardware, you will always be cherished! They’re a statement all on their own and somehow they can blend with a wide range of styles!
