When designing a custom kitchen, the details matter—and cabinet hardware is one of the most impactful design choices. Whether you’re aiming for a sleek modern look or something more traditional, the right cabinet knobs, pulls, and handles can bring your kitchen to life. At Impressions Kitchens, we help homeowners in Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, and Vaughan choose the best custom kitchen cabinet hardware for their style and space.
Why Cabinet Hardware Matters
Cabinet hardware isn’t just for function. It enhances your overall design, adds personality, and even helps define your kitchen’s style. Choosing the right cabinet handles and knobs can upgrade your entire space without a full renovation.
Knobs vs. Handles: How to Choose
Knobs are smaller and usually used for cabinet doors. Handles or pulls are longer and ideal for drawers. Here’s how to choose:
- Knobs offer a simple, classic look. They’re perfect for smaller spaces or minimalist designs.
- Pulls or handles give a more modern and bold feel. They make opening drawers easier and are great for larger cabinetry.
- Mix both to add balance and style—use knobs on upper cabinets and handles on lower drawers.
“The hardware should enhance the cabinetry, not overpower it. We always guide our clients toward options that are beautiful, practical, and easy to maintain,” says Eugene Bershadsky, Senior Designer at Impressions Kitchens.
Top Hardware Styles for 2025
If you’re shopping for modern kitchen cabinet hardware, here are the top trends:
- Matte black finishes for a bold, modern touch
- Brushed brass or gold for warmth and elegance
- Matte white or soft grey for a clean, seamless look
- Textured or knurled hardware for a unique, tactile element
- Slimline handles for minimalist and contemporary kitchens
Looking for bold cabinet hardware? Consider oversized handles or geometric shapes for a designer touch.
Tips for Choosing the Right Hardware
- Match the finish with your faucet and lighting for a cohesive design
- Consider the size and weight of the drawer or door
- Think about comfort—choose shapes that feel good in your hand
- Don’t be afraid to ask for samples before committing
“Our team walks clients through every option, from ordering modern knobs and pulls to final cabinet hardware installation. We make the process easy and stress-free,” says Eugene.
Storage-Friendly and Stylish Options
Today’s hardware options also offer space-saving solutions and ergonomic designs:
- Edge pulls or tab-style handles for a flush, low-profile appearance
- Soft-close drawer hardware with integrated pulls for a clean look
- Custom-sized pulls for oversized pantry cabinets or appliance fronts
You can always compare kitchen cabinet knob options during your design consultation to make the best choice.
