How Do I Choose the Right Modern Cabinet Hardware?
Here are 4 expert tips to find your perfect modern cabinet pulls:
Match the cabinet style
- Flat-panel? Try edge or tab pulls.
- Shaker cabinets? Use bar pulls for contrast.
Mix finishes wisely
- Matte black with stainless steel = yes
- Brushed gold with copper = maybe not
Think about modern cabinet hardware scale
- Long pulls = upscale look on drawers.
- Finger pulls = great for vanities or uppers.
Touch before you buy
- The hardware should feel as good as it looks.
Tips from Thompson Price
- A common designer trick: choose pulls that span about a third of your drawer’s width—for a 12” drawer, that’s a 4” pull.
- Combining metals thoughtfully, like pairing stainless appliances with warm brass pulls—can create stunning contrast.
Cabinet hardware is like jewelry for your kitchen. The right pull or handle doesn’t just open a door—it brings the whole design to life.
