When we think about the design of a wardrobe, bathroom cabinet, sideboard or any other bespoke piece of furniture, we tend to focus on the materials and finishes, but the handles are a detail that makes all the difference. Not only do they fulfil a practical function, but they also add character and style to the furniture.
From classic models to more innovative options, choosing the right handle can enhance the aesthetics of any room in your home.
Types of handles for cabinets and furniture
🔹 Knob handles: Ideal for small pieces of furniture, such as chests of drawers or bathroom furniture. They are available in a wide range of materials and finishes: wood, ceramic, metal or even glass.
🔹Bar pulls: They add a modern and functional touch, perfect for wardrobes and dressing rooms.
🔹Recessed or recessed handles: Integrated into the door, they achieve a cleaner, more minimalist design.
🔹Leather or textile handles: An elegant and sophisticated option to give a different touch to living room or bedroom furniture.
🔹Handleless (push-to-open) systems: They allow doors to be opened with only light pressure, achieving a uniform finish without visual interruptions.
How to choose the right handles for each piece of furniture
✔Define the style of the space: For a rustic ambience, wooden or aged iron knobs are a great choice. On the other hand, for a contemporary style, matt black or stainless steel handles work very well.
✔Functionality and ergonomics: A good handle should be comfortable and easy to use, especially on everyday furniture such as wardrobes and dressers.
✔Durable materials: In areas such as the bathroom or kitchen, where there is humidity and temperature changes, it is important to choose durable materials that are easy to clean.
✔Cohesion with the rest of the house: If you are looking for harmony in design, you can choose the same handle model for different pieces of furniture or combine tones and finishes within the same aesthetic line.
