Knobs And Pulls

Most of us are familiar with drawer pulls, but few of us know they are really a wonderful art form in their own right.  By choosing the right drawer pulls you can drastically change the entire ambiance of any room.  Whether you are looking for knobs and pulls for the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, nursery, or any room in fact, there are innovative designs out there and you can have a great deal of fun creating a whole new look with a few simple pieces of restoration hardware.

Take for example novelty drawer pulls.  You can go nautical knobs and pulls with seashells, mermaids, lighthouses, frogs, turtles, tropical fish and a whole array of other water related themes.  Quite often you can follow through with your theme with coordinating wall border paper and window dressings.  What started out as a simple chore of replacing a lost or broken drawer pull or cabinet handle ended up with a quick and easy redecoration project.  Novelty drawer pulls and knobs and pulls in general are a great way to “dress up” a rather ordinary cabinet or chest of drawers.  For the nursery there are Disney drawer pulls that accessorize furniture and cabinets to accent the bedding and curtains.  In fact there are a ton of kids drawer pulls out there, not necessarily Disney but styles that can embellish a pre-existing theme.  If your local home improvement store doesn’t carry them you can look online under restoration drawer pulls hardware.

One online site that offers a huge variety of knobs and pulls ideas is of course the one you are on at the moment.   If you can’t find what you are looking for here, then it may not be available.  Perhaps you would like to find knobs and pulls that you can paint or decorate yourself.  Ceramic drawer pulls and handles lend themselves to artistic expression by using paints specifically formulated for use on ceramics.  Usually a glaze is sprayed or painted on top to protect the artistry once it has dried.

If you collect antiques there are also antique drawer pulls or glass drawer pulls that you can find if you shop around a bit.  Sometimes they can be found at estate sales if you are unable to find any at an antique dealer.  In the past I have noticed some listed at online auction sites like Ebay so you could search there as well.

You may be looking to find discount drawer pulls in order to save a few bucks.  Perhaps you are in the midst of a major redecoration or remodeling project and need to purchase enough for several pieces of furniture and kitchen cabinets as well.  This is where an internet search engine comes in handy.  Some terms to use when searching besides restoration drawer pulls hardware might be discount drawer pulls, dresser knobs and pulls or furniture drawer pulls.

Once you get a handle (no pun intended) on what you are looking for you should have no problems.  It’s simply a matter of getting the terminology straight and once you know how drawer pulls are categorized you’ll be able to locate them with ease.  The only problem will be making up your mind which ones to choose.  Sorry, can’t help you there.  Now you’re on your own.
