Kitchen cabinets can be updated simply by changing the hardware. This includes the drawer pulls and handles, which provide a decorative element for your cabinets and serve a functional purpose as well. The hardware selection should be based on the color of the cabinets and provide the look and function you desire in order to work in your kitchen.
Create a Swatch
Creating a matching swatch is easy to do and works as a basis for comparison when you go to buy the replacement hardware. Use paint or stain that matches the color of your existing cabinets. You can collect samples of other design elements in the kitchen such as flooring and window treatments.
Make a List Hardware
List on a sheet of paper or in a spreadsheet the items that you need from the hardware store or home improvement center. This list should include the pulls, knobs, hinges and any other decorate element associated with your cabinets. Most hardware comes with the screws necessary for installation, but always check.
Ask for Assistance
Check with a hardware specialist or assistant in the store and show that person your swatch and other materials. This person can help you decide between different styles of hardware matching the swatch and materials you brought in. They can also give you good tips and pointers.
