what questions should you ask yourself when choosing the right door handles for your new replacement kitchen doors?

 

    Doors or handles first?

These are studded with crystals and would look great next to black gloss cabinets.

 

   In most cases, however you will choose your handles after you have decided on the style and material of your door first.

 

    The door style

    You will have chosen a door which is either modern or traditional and your door handles should follow suit. So this will mean that a shaker style wooden door will be best with a traditional style wooden knob or possible a metal decorative handle. If you have opted for a more modern style design such as gloss cabinets, you will probably want a long bar handles which comes in chrome. These are available in a number of styles from scooped, to barrel or high quality crystal handle or strap handles.

 

    Drawers too

    When choosing your cupboard door handle you should never forget that you will also need handles for your drawers and that these will need to work on a smaller frontage than the cupboards. Try to imagine how the handles will look on your drawer fronts and make sure theyby taking up too much space.

 

 

    Choosing the right kitchen doors when completing a make-over on your kitchen can be a daunting thing to do, but then you need to decide on the accessories your kitchen will need. This means door handles and unfortunately there are so many stylish options available, that you will be spoiled for choice.
