Buy kitchen handles for kitchen drawers and cabinets in any color
Do you want to give your kitchen a new look without immediately undertaking a major renovation? Then new kitchen handles are the fastest and most affordable upgrade available. The handles on your drawers and cabinets largely determine the atmosphere of your kitchen, and you reach for them dozens of times every day.
On this page, you can read when to choose a handle or a knob, which drawer length works best, and what shapes and finishes are available. This way, you put together a kitchen that looks sleek and works well. Read on!
Handle or knob for your kitchen?
For wide drawers, choose a handle, as it offers more support when pulling a heavy drawer full of cutlery, pans, or supplies towards you. A knob is less practical in this case: you pull on a single point with one finger, which quickly becomes uncomfortable with a full drawer.
For narrow drawers and cabinet doors, a knob or a short handle is often sufficient. Many kitchens combine both: long handles on the drawers and knobs or short handles on the upper cabinets. Which one you choose depends partly on your taste, so above all, determine what visually suits your kitchen best.
Which length do you choose per drawer?
Match the length to the width of the drawer. For very wide drawers exceeding 80 cm, choose a long handle or two shorter handles at a quarter and three-quarters of the width, so that you can open the drawer evenly and with both hands.
For heavy drawers, such as a pan drawer or an oven drawer, additionally choose a thicker handle profile (for example, 12 to 14 mm instead of the standard 10 mm) for a firmer grip. When replacing, always measure the drilling distance so that the new handle fits the existing holes.
What shapes of kitchen handles are there?
The classic bracket handle is a straight bar with two mounting points and is available in countless lengths and thicknesses. In addition, there are sleek profile handles for a modern, minimalist look, and cup handles that you partially conceal in or behind the drawer for a clean, handleless appearance.
Do you want a truly sleek front without visible handles? Then cup handles or profile handles are the most beautiful choice. If you prefer an industrial or country atmosphere, a sturdy bracket handle fits better. Optionally, combine with matching furniture hardware in the rest of your home.
How do you match handles to your kitchen style?
You match the handles to your kitchen style by consistently applying the same finish to all drawers and cabinets. Choose black or stainless steel handles for a modern kitchen, and brass or bronze for a warm, classic atmosphere.
A handy tip: let the handle color reappear in other details, such as the faucet or the lighting. This repetition creates calm and unity, making your kitchen feel like a well-thought-out whole rather than a collection of separate parts.
How do you mount kitchen handles straight?
You mount kitchen handles straight by accurately marking the drill holes and preferably using a drilling template; with a row of identical drawers, a crooked handle stands out immediately. Drill through from the front to prevent tearing and attach the handle with through bolts from the back.
Are you working with an entire kitchen wall? Then determine in advance at what height and position the handles will go and stick to them consistently. A clean, uniform alignment makes the difference between a tidy and a messy kitchen.
