Oversized Pulls

Oversized drawer pulls are becoming increasingly popular, with lengths ranging from 8 to 30 inches. The longer pulls are typically installed vertically on tall cabinets or horizontally on large drawers, making them both functional and stylish.

For instance, a large drawer designed to hold heavy pots and pans would benefit from a substantial pull. These oversized pulls often feature a modern, minimalist design and are frequently paired with smaller pulls of the same style to create a cohesive look.

Style your doors

Replacing door hardware is more involved than swapping out other types of hardware in your home. It requires careful consideration of multiple measurements and the compatibility of various components. Understanding how the parts and finishes will perform over time is also essential.

Before purchasing any hardware, it's crucial to take a few key measurements to ensure a smooth installation. If you're installing the hardware on an existing door, the current holes will largely determine the necessary specifications unless you’re installing on a new door.

Here are the key measurements to consider:

  • Backset: This is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the handle. It's a critical measurement that determines whether the hardware will fit properly.
  • Door Thickness: Most door hardware is designed to fit standard door thicknesses, which typically range from 1⅜ inches to 1¾ inches. If your door is thinner or thicker, you may need an additional kit to install the handles properly.
  • Hole Size: Measure the size of the hole behind the existing rosette (or backplate). The new hardware will need to completely cover this hole to ensure a clean and secure fit.

By taking these measurements and considering the long-term performance of the hardware, you can avoid potential issues and ensure a successful installation.

Choosing Bath hardware

The right style of bathroom hardware should seamlessly complement the overall design of your bathroom, creating a cohesive and harmonious look. It's not just about choosing functional pieces; the hardware you select should reflect the aesthetic and theme of the entire space.

Whether your bathroom has a modern, traditional, or eclectic vibe, the hardware should enhance and reinforce that style. This means considering the finishes, shapes, and materials of items like towel bars, faucets, and drawer pulls to ensure they align with the rest of your bathroom decor. The goal is to create a unified design where every element, including the hardware, contributes to a polished and well-thought-out environment.

Selecting hardware that matches your bathroom’s overall theme adds a sense of balance and refinement, turning a functional space into one that is visually appealing and cohesive.
