Ah the kitchen. A working, gathering, social space. The focal point of your home. It’s the hub of family life and where all the magic and action happens. It’s also where all the good food is, and who doesn’t like the treat cupboard when the kids have gone to bed? Kitchens are at the centre of our increasingly busy lives, and it’s only natural that we take pride in the décor of our kitchen space. After all, it’s where we spend a lot of our time, and where our guests tend to congregate.
Designing a kitchen can be an extensive and difficult task, with hundreds of choices to make and thousands of options within those choices. The up side is being able to create a truly unique space that is special to you and makes you feel instantly at home. The down side is the sheer volume of decisions to make. So, because we’re just wonderful people, we’re going to make one of those decision areas a little simpler for you.
Kitchen door handles. Cupboard door handles. Not the stars of the show, more of a supporting cast. However, if they weren’t there, the show wouldn’t go on – and it must. Obviously. When choosing the right door handles, we need to consider the location, functionality and ease of use of your choices. Let’s run through some of the options available to you.
The Kitchen Door
The main event. The portal to the kitchen of your dreams. Let’s make sure we get this right too. When choosing the handle to your kitchen door, consider the style you’ve gone for in the room itself. Gone for a sleek, modern look? Try brushed metal handles or a matte black finish. Would your kitchen look at home in a traditional country residence? Consider an understated matte finish in bronze. Most internal doors in the home have lever handles which provide a great compromise between style and functionality. Check out our range of lever door handles for inspiration.
Storage
Whatever storage space ideas you’ve opted for in the kitchen itself, ensure it’s practical as well as stylish with gorgeous and functional door handles. You could go classic with bowed or ‘D’ handles which compliment all décor styles. Alternatively, if you want to trade some functionality with style and exclusivity, you could go rogue with a rustic finger ring pull which would blend in well with natural wood and stone.
You should also think carefully about the materials your storage space is made up of. Natural wooden cupboards lend themselves to wide range of stylistic choices where you can literally take your pick. We like these silver cup pulls.
Now, if you’re working with some modern materials and contemporary design, you may want to go in a different direction. We’re picturing glossy, soft-close white or cream cabinets with a dark worktop. If this fits your bill, then we recommend these silver satin bow handles.
We think they’d look simply stunning in a sleek and elegant kitchen.
We appreciate that not everybody is going for the bespoke look. Sometimes we need to prioritise functionality over style, and that’s great! Busy families want low maintenance, easy to use, no frills convenience that still looks good. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
