Textured Drawer Pulls Are The Perfect Way To Add Personalization To Your Cabinets

Choosing just the right cabinet hardware for your space can be one of the best ways to reinforce your chosen aesthetic and give your furniture, cabinets, and the entire room a sense of personality. The right drawer knobs and door pulls can instantly make a statement far more impactful than their mere function of opening and closing. This is particularly true in areas like kitchens and bathrooms, where there are often many cabinets and drawers, sometimes covering entire walls and dominating the space. If you're looking to take your hardware from merely functional to stylish, focus on choosing hardware pieces with a lot of texture and dimension, including those that grab attention from their interesting materials, size, and shape.

Not only will these knobs and pulls feel very sumptuous and satisfying to touch, but they can add character and interest to even the most boring cookie cutter cabinets. Adding a new cabinet hardware style is a great way to update old or outdated cabinets without full replacements. Swapping out cabinets hardware can also be a perfect renter-friendly hack. Just put the old hardware back when you move.

If you're looking for an updated look courtesy of hardware, seek materials and textures that stand out. For metal hardware, look for pieces that are hammered, carved, fluted, ribbed, and other visual/tactile variations that add a sense of depth and another layer of texture in the room. Think beyond predictable metal as well, bringing in other materials as well like ceramic, resin, glass, pearl wood, wrapped rattan, and fabric for an even more varied look. 

For rustic or farmhouse spaces, opt for beautifully matte hammered pieces in silver or brass like these Rustic Antique Brass Knobs or Hammered Cabinet Pulls. Wood also makes a trendy rustic alternative to metal. For cottage style spaces, try some pretty Vintage Ceramic Knobs or these Leather Knot Drawer Pulls. Modern and contemporary spaces, which are often quite minimalistic, benefit greatly from more simply lined hardware with different textures, like these Weichun Unfinished Wood Pulls or Textured Brass Hardware Pulls. 

Scale and shape is another way to draw attention to these unique hardware pieces; choosing slightly oversized cabinet pulls that demand attention can be stunning and boldly set the design aesthetic for the door/drawer. Try these Franklin Brass Oversized Bars for a chic contemporary look that complements many aesthetics. Or add intriguing sculptural details like these Gingko Leaf Knobs or these whimsical Bronze Twig Pulls to your cabinets and drawers.
