How to Choose the Right Kitchen Door Handle

There's actually a lot to think about when choosing your new kitchen door handle - style, material, colour and texture included. As a rule of thumb, consider the design on your units and doors before purchasing your handles, as you'll want the two to match. Think about the style of kitchen handle you want first and the rest will follow:

Knobs

Kitchen door knobs are typically a more traditional style, but they can add a touch of the modern when they’re made in brushed chrome or stainless steel instead of wood. The beauty of knobs is that they’re smaller than handles, so they won’t take the attention away from the rest of the kitchen.

Handles

Kitchen door handles are perhaps the most common type of drawer and cupboard openings. They allow for the handle to be grabbed with the whole hand. The bridge of a handle is often quite narrow, so even children should have no trouble grasping onto it.

Bar & Rod Handles

Bar and rod handles are quite similar to regular kitchen cabinet handles, but being generally very thin, straight, and minimalist, they work extremely well in contemporary kitchens. Bar handles are typically available in aluminium, brushed nickel, and chrome, so they reflect light perfectly and are a real statement piece in any kitchen.

Traditional Handles & Knobs

There’s a lot more diversity and variety in traditional kitchen door handles and knobs than with contemporary handles. Traditional handles tend to be quite big on design, quite complex, and rather involved. Decorated knobs, antique styles, cages, twisted handles, and fleur-de-lys designs are just some of the options available. Traditional style handles really go well in kitchens that have purposefully been dated to create a look of the past - a back-to-basics style that still has a touch of flair and finesse. However, wooden door handles are perfectly suited to farmhouse or shaker-style kitchens.
