How to Choose the Right Hardware and Accessories for your Kitchen Remodel


Getting ready to redesign your kitchen?

There are so many options to choose from – paint colors, cabinet styles and colors, flooring, storage, and finishes.

From sleek and modern to classic and ornate, hardware can completely transform the look and feel of your kitchen.

  1. Matte black finishes – Stainless steel and chrome are a timeless look, but to really step up your kitchen design, consider matte black. Especially against white cabinetry, matte black offers a sleek, polished look.
  2. Latches rather than knobs – Many different varieties of pull bars are available, and some homeowners are forgoing square and tubular pulls altogether in favor of an ages or antique brass latch. It can provide a striking look, but they aren’t super practical – consider using a latch for a cabinet that has decorative items, for example.
  3. Mixing and matching knobs and pulls – If you can’t decide on a classic knob for your cabinets or a pull on a drawer, you can mix and match! It really depends on what is most practical for you and your family. Just know if you’re not replacing your cabinets, but just the hardware, you’re going to have to fill all the old holes and they may still be slightly visible afterwards.

Maximizing Space with Your Kitchen Remodel

Need more space for prep work or storage? Do you wish you had better lighting, and sleeker, more modern appliances?

Whether you’re doing a redesign or a full kitchen renovation, careful planning can help you create a kitchen that will be beautiful as well as functional. 

Even a large kitchen can go to waste with a design that doesn’t consider efficiency. Explore some ideas to get a feel for the ways you can use your kitchen space more effectively when you remodel. 

  • Make a list: what works and what doesn’t with your current layout? You might be tempted to skip this step; but writing it all out will help you make better design decisions. 
  • Use your vertical space: going vertical makes your kitchen larger and more functional. Floor-to-ceiling cabinets create a ton of storage space and keep your counters clear.  Also consider a hanging rack for pots and pans, storing items below cabinets with hooks, and installing magnetic strips for knife and spice storage.
