Our Favorite Kitchen Cabinet Hardware

If you have ever renovated your kitchen, you know that the smallest decisions make a true difference. Sure, the bigger items—including high-cost appliances, countertops (should you go with marble, soapstone, or a butcher's block?), and cabinetry—are important and drive the overall aesthetic of the space, but it's those final touches, such as paint color and faucetry, that make any overhaul feel finished. Kitchen cabinet hardware is another tiny, but impactful accent that should not be overlooked. It's incredible what simply swapping out a few knobs and pulls can do, reno or not.

The best part? On the whole, these handles are relatively inexpensive—it's much more financially feasible, for example, to purchase a few updated knobs to perk up an older cabinetry style than it is to totally replace your kitchen storage system. Interested in making this simple change? You have come to the right place. We went ahead and culled a myriad of handles, so you can find the iteration (or a mix!) that best suits your kitchen. For modern spaces, look to matte black or acrylic styles (the latter feel both midcentury-inspired and futuristic). And if you are looking to revamp your farmhouse kitchen? You'll appreciate the rustic options on this list (several of which look like they've been sourced straight from a quintessential country store).

Ultimately, though, the majority of these pieces work across every design style—that's the beauty of the tiny accents. Their diminutive size makes them that much more malleable, so you should feel free to choose the look you love without getting hung up on what "goes." Ahead, some of our favorite kitchen cabinet hardware to inspire your own.
