Life, Styled
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.

Walker WoodworkingThe foundation of a timeless kitchen lies in the cabinetry. Opt for traditional styles like Shaker or raised-panel cabinets, which have proven their longevity throughout the decades. While these styles may seem simple, their clean lines and understated elegance ensure they will never look dated.
