Choosing Your Handles: Finding Your Style

This blog series will guide you through the world of kitchen handles by exploring different finishes and designs and how to choose the best handles to complement your handmade, bespoke kitchen.


Let's start by talking about handle styles, which play a pivotal role in defining the character of your kitchen. The shape and design of your handles contribute just as much to the overall aesthetic as the finish itself.


The right style can completely transform your space from vintage charm to modern minimalism, and it can be the finishing touch that pulls the entire design together.


Here are three popular handle styles that can elevate your kitchen design:


Cup Handles

Cup handles have a semi-circular design that offers a vintage, timeless feel. These handles are perfect for traditional or farmhouse kitchens, especially when paired with aged brass or polished chrome finishes. Cup handles look great on drawers and add a classic touch that's both functional and stylish.

Knobs

Knobs are small, round, and incredibly versatile. Whether you choose polished chrome for a modern kitchen or satin brass for something more luxurious, knobs offer simplicity and elegance. They work well on both drawers and cabinets and can be mixed with pull bars for a balanced, layered look.

Pull Bars

Pull bars are long, linear handles that give your kitchen a contemporary edge. They are often used in modern or industrial kitchens, especially in sleek finishes like satin nickel or iron. Pull bars are perfect for oversized drawers or large cabinet doors, adding a streamlined and functional touch.
