Knobs and Pulls

Many have asked which kind of drawer knobs and pulls are the best to use in your house, and I simply tell them that it really depends on what the drawers look like and how much they are going to be holding inside of them. If you have pull out drawer slides that will be holding a lot of items, than I would recommend that you use drawer pulls. In terms of practicality, that is the main point to consider when choosing which drawer knobs and pulls you will be using when remodeling or upgrading your home. The only thing that I would caution you on with these drawer knobs and pulls is that you should avoid a low quality pull and take the time to look up different places that sell them to make sure that you have chosen the right seller.

 

You do not want to have to replace these glass drawer pulls and knobs because one of them was left on your hands when you pulled it out down the road. That would just be a waste of money since you will end up buying new knobs and pulls anyways. So, do the smart thing and research where you are going to buy them first – I cannot stress this enough. You should consider buying your drawer and cabinet knobs and pulls online so that you can have more options.

 

If you are looking for antique drawer pulls, you might as well do your shopping online because that is just about the only place that you are going to find them. Antique drawer pulls are hard to find if you are shopping offline, because chances are that there are just not a lot of them at your local stores. So, if you go to a store and tell them what you are looking for, do not be too surprised if they do not have that particular kind.

 

Then again, if you are looking for drawer handles, then you might be in luck. These handles seem to be everywhere these days. They are one of the sturdiest dresser drawer pulls and can be very durable. Their durability gives them the longevity that you would normally look for in drawer knobs and pulls. That way, you will save money and not have to end up replacing them down the road anyways. It is just logical to make sure that you get the most durability possible now so that you do not waste your time and wonder why they broke soon after.

 

So, the next time you are out for drawer pulls hardware, you will know what to expect and what you should be looking for. Of course, we are always here to assist you and save you some time and money. All you have to do is contact me personally through email and I will respond to all your questions. Use those drawer knobs and pulls to your advantage and complete your furniture with them!

Antique Drawer Pulls

I didn’t know much about antique drawer pulls hardware up until I was out shopping with my friend Marla. After coming out of a dress shop, Marla told me that you she needed to pick up some glass drawer pulls and knobs. I asked, “What are drawer pulls”?

She laughed and told me that drawer knobs and pulls are what you pull to open a drawer. I told her that I thought that those things were called drawer handles and she laughed again. Glad I could be of some amusement I guess.

So we went to the furniture store to get some glass drawer pulls for Marla, and it opened my eyes to how little things can make a big difference to the appearance of things. I didn’t ever consider those I would fall in love with antique drawer pulls and that they would be something that you could change and match with the surroundings of a room. I just considered them to be drawer handles that you just used when you wanted to open a drawer.

We looked at a variety of cabinet hardware other than the glass cabinet knobs that Marla wanted to get. We saw door handles and knobs, cabinet knobs and pulls, and dresser drawer pulls and knobs. We saw wooden pulls, plastic ones, and even crystal ones. Actually, there was some crystal antique drawer pulls hardware that was beautiful and very expensive. I didn’t think that I would ever use crystal antique drawer knobs because they seemed way too expensive for my tastes.

We asked the store clerk about some ideas based on the cabinet knobs that Marla had chosen, and he gave us some suggestions on how to make your cabinet drawer pulls look great with the drawers that they are placed on.

The first thing that he said was that if you put antique drawer pulls on a set of drawers that looks good, then it will look even better. But there is nothing worse than placing a set of crystal antique drawer handles on a cheap and ugly looking set of drawers. This is a waste. Be sure that if you are using antique drawer pulls hardware that they are complimentary to the drawers. You don’t want to take away from the look of the drawers; you will just want to add to it.

The second tip that he gave us was that you shouldn’t use drawer knobs and pulls that are any larger than ¼ of the size of the drawer that they are being placed on. This just looks odd and play tricks on your eyes when you are reaching for the drawer pull handles.

I have been brought into the world of drawer and cabinet pulls and I love it. I didn’t have any idea that such a small thing could make such a big impact on the way that a room and a set of drawers looks. That is why I started this site. I wanted to give people a chance to see what’s out there in regards to all those knobs and pulls and I wanted to give them a chance to get any kind of pull handles for less.

I had no idea how effective decorative drawer pulls can be were until a few years ago. Now I know that if I want to give a different look to my dresser, all I have to do is get some antique drawer pulls!
