If you’re looking to upgrade your home on a tight budget, refreshing your kitchen cabinets and furniture can dramatically improve the look and functionality of your spaces. Doing so is often as easy as swapping out your existing cabinet or furniture hardware. Ace has what you need to start your DIY project, from cabinet hardware to the tools you need to install it.
Cabinet Pulls Vs. Cabinet Knobs: Which Hardware Is Right for You?
There are two main types of furniture and kitchen cabinet hardware that mount on doors and drawers: cabinet pulls and cabinet knobs. Cabinet pulls attach to cabinetry and furniture via two screws, while cabinet knobs have just one screw. Both are available in various finishes, such as brass, black, bronze, nickel and stainless steel.
- Cabinet pulls: Pulls come in many shapes, including bars, arches, half ovals and cups, and they tend to have a more modern appearance. They also may be a better choice of drawer hardware for deep, heavy drawers that are sometimes difficult to pull.
- Cabinet knobs: With cabinet knobs, you can choose from round, oblong, rectangular, square, octagonal and other decorative shapes. Since they only have one screw, they are often easier to install and usually add a timeless touch to traditional and rustic furniture.
When deciding between cabinet pulls and knobs, consider what’s already in place. Sticking with the existing type can speed up the installation process.
Common Furniture and Kitchen Cabinet Hardware
Cabinet pulls and knobs are just two of the many types of cabinet and furniture hardware available. You may also need:
- Cabinet hinges: Fix crooked, stubborn, wobbly and squeaky doors with fresh cabinet hinges.
- Drawer slides: If your drawers no longer open and close effortlessly, replacing the drawer slides may help restore your cabinetry or furniture functionality.
- Cabinet latches and locks: Childproof your home or increase security in your office by installing cabinet latches and locks.
- Chair glides: Protect hard floors from scratches by mounting chair glides on the legs and bases of seating in the dining room, kitchen office, living room and beyond.
- Casters: Make furnishings easier to move by installing casters on the bottom or fixing broken casters on bar carts, office chairs, rolling tables and other furniture with replacement wheels.
- Furniture parts: Upcycle found furniture or make repairs to your existing pieces with replacement legs and other furniture components.
- Craft hardware: Find attractive hardware to finish off your woodworking and other crafting projects.
