It’s All In The Details – Hardware

While cabinets tend to be the focal point of the main spaces, such as kitchens and bathrooms, it is the details that add the final touch to the design. The selection process can be one of the highlights of the design phase, but it can also be overwhelming with multiple styles, colors, and options. In this three-part series, we want to give our best tips for the top three categories of selections and help make this as enjoyable and simple as possible. Our focus today is hardware.

Hardware

Often referred to as the jewelry of the cabinets, they also play a vital role in function since they allow homeowners easy opening and closing of doors and drawers while keeping them all clean. Here are a few things to consider when choosing hardware for your space.

Style

Modern or traditional? Farmhouse or French Country? There are plenty of style options available for you, no matter where your tastes lie. Hardware designs that are raised and elegant tend to have a more traditional feel, while smooth hardware with simple curves tends to have a more modern feel. Don’t forget about rustic and vintage; they can add unique character to the area.

Color

Brass, polished nickel, gold, silver, and oil rubbed are some of the choices offered by manufacturers, which means there is something that goes with your particular style that will perfectly blend or add the right pop needed to your design. Browse through project galleries to get inspired and find the right combination for you. Don’t be afraid to look at things that are a little bold or different; it’s your space and should be a reflection of you.

Function

It’s important to remember, especially with the kitchen, that your hands are not always free and clear to open a door or drawer. This makes choosing hardware a key element to the functionality of the space. Keep in mind that there are knobs and pull-outs for a reason; each is better suited for either drawers or doors. Most collections feature both options, making it easy to blend the two together.

Hardware plays a key role in the final cabinet design, providing not only functionality but a reflection of your own personality into the space. Be sure to have a few ideas of what you like printed off or saved on your device, as it will make the process more focused as you look for the perfect hardware, and it will also help your designer know what to show you.

Be sure to visit our showroom, where you can browse our extensive range of hardware and find the one that is perfect for you.

How Much Does It Cost? What is a Good Bathroom Renovation Budget

Life, Styled

One of our first objectives in a design meeting is to establish a budget for the entire bathroom project, which could include cabinets, flooring, hardware, and fixtures. This budget will set the tone for the whole project and tell us exactly what products to show you. In this blog, we will share what a reasonable bathroom renovation budget should include and a general estimate for the total.

Needs vs. Wants: What Would you do Differently?

Design Notes

You are considering doing a kitchen renovation, but are a little nervous because of what your friend told you when they renovated their kitchen. The project was completed, and they settled into their new space and enjoyed many of the latest amenities. Then something happened. As they adjusted to the area, they thought about something that could have been done differently or that they wished they had added.

What is a Farmhouse Style?

Life, Styled

This design trend seems to always be among the most popular, and you don’t have to live on a farm to appreciate this simple, inviting style. In a world that seems never to stop moving, there is often a need to create a space where you can slow down, unwind from the cares of the day, and enjoy the simple things.  In this blog, we want to explain precisely what the farmhouse style is and how you can incorporate a little of the past into your future.

Design Challenge Circa 1824 Historic Remodel

What's New

We are excited to share this recently historic home remodel, built in 1824. This project presented us with some unique design challenges that we were able to overcome, resulting in a beautiful finished product and a very well-functioning kitchen.

Also known as Antebellum architecture, this property not only gives us an intimate look at how people once lived in this southern region but also shows the characteristics and style of a stunning southern design, which remains rich in history.
