Once you are finished remodeling the Kitchen, installing the Cabinets and appliances there is one more thing you can to fine tune your kitchen look. I am not going to suggest you any expensive decorating idea or product. In fact it is one of the most economical way have a fresh kitchen look. The project I am suggesting is the installation of new cabinet hardware on the kitchen cabinets. Cabinet Hardware as you may know are pieces of decorative hardware made of metals like brass, copper, steel or bronze.
Now a days Copper or brass is expensive so most cabinet hardware knobs manufacturer like Amerock, Top Knobs etc are resorting to cheaper material like pewter.
Pewter cabinet knobs comes in all color and finishes for example polished brass, copper tone, satin nickel, weathered or rust color. They are also available in different shapes and styles. Most of the Amerock Cabinet Hardware I have found is reasonably priced and the hardware have unique looks. I am a great fan of Amerock cabinet knobs and pulls as they have a lot of variety to choose from among different collections. The collections are based on different theme like ocean theme, classic theme, traditional, modern etc.
There are huge selections of hardware available at any online or local hardware stores.
You can also request a cabinet hardware catalogue from Amerock website as well or browse their website and make up your mind before buying the stuff.
Kitchen is not the only place where you can replace the cabinet knobs or pulls. Infact you can replace any knobs from any furniture, cabinet door or cabinet drawers. People do it all the time for bathroom cabinets, Kitchen as well as kids rooms and bedroom furniture.
Another great use of Amerock Cabinet hardware is on the antique furnitures and cabinets. Amerock do not sell antique hardware but they do have some mission style cabinet small door knobs as well pulls. From time to time you can also find antique reproductions of the knobs that were made in usa in 1800.
so contemporary or well made modern cabinet hardware, you have both choices at Amerock Cabinet Hardware.
Here is a list of some of the latest Amerock Collection for your kitchen decorating project.
1-Rochdale Collection – Cabinet hardware with Architectural Details.
2-Arrondi Collection – Modern functional cabinet hardware.
Note: These knobs and pulls are available in many finishes like brass, antique brass, copper or Satin nickel.
Beside the knobs and pulls to put on kitche cabinets you will also need matching color hinges that go well with your knobs color or pulls color. So for example if you likes oil rubbed bronze antique knobs then you will have to purchase the same color pulls as well as hinges from the same manufacturer.
Shopping from the manufacturer also helps in saving the shipping of the cabinet hardware, if you buy cabinet hardrware items from diferrent manufacturers then you end up paying separate shipping from each manufacturer. So always buy from the same manufacturer.
