Spring cleaning is not only about cleaning and throwing things away but can also be about refreshing your Interior: fresh decorating, new furniture or even smaller things like door handles. Already such inconspicuous accessories can make a room get a completely different look. Today we'll take a look at what types of furniture handles there are and what styles they best match.
With the arrival of higher temperatures, we get the urge to change and to refresh our homes. This is dictated not only by the spring aura, but also by practical considerations. During the warmer weather, some of the work can be done outdoors, and on top of that it is much easier to air out the interior, for example, after painting the walls or varnishing the furniture.
We can carry out spring cleaning and give our homes a new look by changing the colour scheme of rooms, as well as with the purchase of new furniture. However, if you're on a tight budget this year, nothing is lost yet. Even small novelties can completely change the character of your apartment.
In order to be able to make a fully informed choice of furniture handles, it is a good idea to first learn about their types. This will give you confidence that you have found your dream cabinet handles. Among kitchen cabinet handles, rails, also known as grab handles, are very popular. They have a minimalist rectangular shape, so they fit both ornate and modest fronts. One of the biggest advantages of rails is their versatility. You can successfully install them both horizontally and vertically. In addition, these are handles for kitchen furniture that come in an unusually large number of sizes and colour options.
Certainly, among the most popular cabinet handles, furniture knobs should also be mentioned. This is a type of point handles that provide a comfortable grip. Furniture knobs often additionally have a decorative function. Without much trouble you can find models made of wood, glass, and even knobs covered with porcelain mosaic. As a result, knobs work well even in unusual arrangements. Modern edge handles are a great choice for those who appreciate practical and minimalist solutions. As the name suggests, these are handles located at the line of the cabinet edge. Another step towards modernist solutions is to bet on the system known as push to open. It is used in interiors where there are no handles. It is enough to press on a cabinet or drawer, and special hinges automatically push the furniture fronts forward. At the other pole of decorativeness were the so-called seashells. These are highly decorative furniture handles usually made of porcelain or metal.
The furniture handles listed certainly do not encapsulate all the varieties of this type of product, but they already give you some idea of how small accessories can look. Door handles are extremely diverse, so you can easily find a piece to suit your home. As we have already mentioned, rails are considered the most versatile kitchen cabinet handles. Their classic form suits both traditional and modern spaces. In the former case, pieces with a glossy finish are usually chosen, while modern handles more often take a matt form.
Knobs are also surprisingly abundant. Wooden models, for example, are ideal for a rustic kitchen, while glass knobs are the perfect choice for glamour interiors. Porcelain furniture handles, on the other hand, suit both rustic and oriental interiors. It all depends on the chosen design and colour scheme. Edge handles are by far the most popular choice for modernist and industrial rooms. A spring change can also include a change to shell handles. Porcelain variants are associated with the English and Provencal styles. They are a subtle reference to the idyllic image of the countryside. Metal seashells, on the other hand, work very well in traditional kitchens. Transforming your home does not always have to involve high costs. Sometimes just a few small changes can completely transform the character of a home.
