The Best Modern Kitchen Handles
Choosing the best kitchen handles for your space is like the icing on the cake. It’s the jewelry of your interiors that gets appraised and used on a daily basis, and it matters!
Whether you’re having a complete kitchen refurb, or upcycling your existing cabinets, kitchen handles can elevate and make a real difference to the finished look.
For a modern style kitchen, we’ve put together an article on the best modern kitchen handles for a stylish, and on trend look.
The Best Modern Kitchen Handles
Modern design is typically characterised by defining black accents, so it’s no surprise that black interior hardware, and black kitchen handles are very popular for this design trend. From matt black and black iron to black nickel, all of these finishes create a beautiful accent for a modern kitchen.
Why are black kitchen handles so effective in a modern kitchen? Every colour scheme needs a defining colour, this is to avoid colours from floating in a space, and it helps to tie the room together.
Black kitchen handles can be combined with other black accents sparingly such as with sockets & switches, and subtle decor accessories such as frames.
Black Iron Sash Pull Handle
The ultimate in modern design. The beautiful black iron sash pull handle is perfect for kitchen cabinets and drawers. Made from black iron, it delivers a long lasting and traditional design which adds instant timelessness to a kitchen space.
Black Iron Round Cabinet Knob
For a softer, more subtle edge to your kitchen cabinets, our Black Iron Round Cabinet Knob is a charming choice.
Traditionally styled, this exquisite cabinet knob features a timeless, rounded base and face style which lends itself to use on doors, cabinets and cupboard doors throughout a home.
Black Iron Square Cabinet Knob
Give things a quirky twist with our Black Iron Square Cabinet Knob instead. Modern design is as much about clean lines as black accents, and this works perfectly in a modern kitchen.
This distinctive knob is the perfect way to refresh a tired cabinet, or to match with other ironmongery hardware within your interior for a cohesive feel.
Black accents are a defining part of modern design, but it’s certainly not the only finish that can be enjoyed in a modern kitchen. In recent years brass has seen a huge resurgence in interiors, a finish once reserved for traditional and art deco interiors.
It can now be fully appreciated in a modern kitchen, especially those with a country or rustic twist on modern design. It helps to add warmth and character to kitchen cabinets, perfect paired with both neutral and darker hues.
Heritage Cabinet Knob Satin Brass
Add a traditional touch to your home with the exquisite Heritage cabinet knob. This sturdy knob is part of our Ironmongery Heritage range, offering unsurpassed quality and durability.
A round knob is a great idea if you’re looking to add softer and more subtle tones to the room.
Heritage Pull Handle Satin Brass
Add a touch of class to your kitchen cabinets and drawers with the traditional Heritage pull handle in a satin brass finish. This traditional design delivers a timeless, and warm finish that is synonymous with modern design.
Arts & Crafts Cabinet Knob in Antique
Smaller cabinet knobs can lend a beautiful, charming finish on cabinet knobs. If a satin brass finish is a little bit too warm for your interiors, an antique brass finish is an excellent alternative.
This Arts and Crafts knob is available in a number of desirable finishes to fit with your interior style including polished chrome, antique, matt bronze and polished brass.
Arts & Crafts Cup Handle Antique
Like most things when it comes to style, cup handles were once a dated type of interior hardware best reserved for traditional properties. In recent years they have seen a huge resurgence, and their beautifully curved profile lends a stylish hand in a modern kitchen.
With a sleek and elegant design, this cup handle is available in a number of finishes to suit your specification, polished chrome, antique, matt bronze, polished brass and matt black.
For a rustic twist on modern design, let’s not forget about the fabulous finish that is Pewter. This beautifully aged finish can be appreciated in farmhouse, rustic and country modern interiors. Complementary to many different colour schemes.
Pewter Norton Cabinet Pull Handle
The Norton Pewter pull handle is made from the finest quality lead-free pewter which is corrosion resistant, and doesn’t fade or rust over time. This makes it a smart choice for rooms such as a kitchen and bathroom where moisture and humidity levels are present.
Such an aesthetically pleasing finish for modern kitchen design.
Harrington Pewter Cup Handle
Our Harrington pewter cup handle will add a distinctive finish to your chosen cabinet, drawer or piece of furniture. Hand crafted with high quality, lead-free pewter, this perfectly curved cup handle lends a classic look.
Modern kitchen design encompasses a wide range of finishes so if black feels a little too defining you could opt for a more rustic finish like Pewter, or warm things up with a brass finish.
Try to match interior hardware details where possible, or mix with complementary finishes to add further visual interest to the space.
