How To Choose The Best Cabinet Hardware

Selecting hardware for custom cabinetry is an important decision as it can greatly impact the overall look and functionality of your cabinets. Here are some tips to ensure you make the right choice:

Determine the Style

Choose hardware that complements the style of your cabinets and overall kitchen or bathroom design. Consider finishes like brushed nickel, chrome, or oil-rubbed bronze.

Consider Functionality

Consider the type of doors and drawers you have and choose hardware that is appropriate for their use. For example, soft-closing hinges and full-extension drawer slides can add convenience and safety.

Measure Accurately

Ensure you measure accurately for hardware placement and select hardware that fits properly. Make sure to measure the center-to-center distance between screws.

Budget

Decide on a budget for your hardware and stick to it. High-end hardware can be expensive, but there are many budget-friendly options available that look great and offer great functionality.

Coordinate

Match your hardware finishes to other fixtures in your kitchen or bathroom, such as faucets and light fixtures, for a cohesive and elevated look. For example, if your faucet is brushed nickel, consider having your cabinet hardware also be in the same brushed nickel. 

By taking these factors into consideration, you can choose hardware that will add style, function, and value to your custom cabinetry.
