When designing your dream kitchen, it’s all too easy to get caught up in the big things that will instantly make an impact when you walk into the space. But while it’s important to spend time carefully considering elements such as wall colours, flooring and furniture, interior designers recognise that small extra touches really can make such a difference to the overall quality of the finish.
Beautiful hardware can effortlessly elevate kitchen unit doors of all styles, despite its initially unassuming appearance. Whether you want to give a modern kitchen a characterful twist or you’re eager to bring a sense of authenticity to your period home, let’s explore how accessories including handles and drawer pulls can help you put the finishing touches on a space that feels refined, sophisticated, and beautiful.

How to Elevate Your Kitchen Unit Doors with the Right Hardware
Small yet mighty
Even the smallest handles can bring unexpected flashes of joy, so you don’t need to choose the most elaborate or ornate hardware in order for it to make an impact. Our Windsor knob is available in a variety of finishes including satin brass, brushed copper and pewter, and at 3.8mm is designed to fit comfortably in your grip and is versatile enough to suit a range of kitchen styles.
Pro Tip: Always choose accessories that suit your needs. A great kitchen is a space that makes your daily life easier, so we always recommend choosing handles that are easy to grip and improve the accessibility of your cupboards and drawers.

Bring style to this hardworking space in your home
It isn’t always easy to bring design flourishes into a space that needs to work so hard every single day. In a kitchen, stylish hardware can achieve this both in practical ways and on a budget, ensuring that form never gets in the way of functionality.
If you’re exploring traditional kitchen styles, our beautiful Windsor Shell handles could be the ideal addition to your kitchen unit doors. They’re also available in a variety of finishes, including warm satin brass, rich brushed copper, and characterful pewter, enabling you to choose a tone that best suits the finish of your doors.
Pro Tip: We always recommend looking at your kitchen unit doors as an opportunity to add extra personality and character to your home, so that every room genuinely reflects you and your personal style.

Demonstrate that you’ve paid attention to your space
The right accessories suit the style of both the room you’re designing and your property as a whole, showcasing that you’ve really devoted enough attention and thought to each element, both individually and collectively.
It can be helpful to think of accessories as being akin to the jewellery of your home, and you’ll find that there are plenty of options to consider regardless of the style of your kitchen. In a contemporary space, our sleek Camden Bar Handles in a satin chrome finish can really shine, as they have a streamlined aesthetic and will reflect the light beautifully.
Create cohesion and harmony with your choice of accessories
As well as the form and silhouette of the accessories you’re choosing, it’s also important to think very carefully about which finish will offer the most cohesion within your kitchen. Choosing a finish that can be seen throughout your kitchen, perhaps in the brackets you’ve selected for your open shelving or the ornaments you plan to place on a side table or your kitchen island, will always work as this will help to establish a feeling of harmony that all well-designed spaces have in abundance.
