Every home design show, magazine, or how-to guide will tell you that when it comes to transforming a space, it's often the smaller details that have the biggest impact.

While this may seem overblown as a result of this, there’s no denying that it's true. As such, if you are currently in the process of redesigning your kitchen, don't forget to pay attention to the little things - beyond the critical features like your ovens and countertops! 

For example, furnishings and finishing touches such as cabinet handles can have an incredibly positive impact on how your kitchen looks! 

In order to make this task as easy as possible, we’ve compiled a list of the best handles for Kitchen Cabinets! 

What are the different styles of Kitchen Cabinet Handles? 

While you may be keen to base your purchasing decisions on aesthetics alone - such as the colour of the handles or the materials used, you should first familiarise yourself with the different handle styles available.

The most popular styles include: 

  • Bar Pulls.  Bar-shaped handles, sometimes known as T-Bar Handles. 
  • Cup Pulls. Large, dome-shaped handles.
  • Bow Pulls. Handles with an arched or ‘bow’ like shape.

The Best Handles for Kitchen Cabinets.

Whether you’re trying to design a sleek, modern kitchen or opting for something more traditional, we’ve completed a list of the best handles for kitchen cabinets, making it easier for you to find the perfect fit for your home. 

1. Burlington Piccadilly Knurled Cabinet Handles

 

Our Burlington Piccadilly Knurled Cabinet Handles are perfect for those looking to introduce a splash of glamour into their home. This luxury is derived from the unique, textured knurled design featured on the pull-style handles. 

Furthermore, it is also available in a wide range of finishes, including antique brass, dark bronze and polished nickel, meaning that you can choose a colour that blends seamlessly with the rest of your kitchen design. 

2. Antique Fleur De Lys Pull Handles
