NO. 1 You can't go wrong with a balanced color palette!
Of course, the easiest and safest way is to choose hardware with a matching color or similar undertones with the color of your cabinets. This way, you can create an uncluttered look and an elegant style throughout. For example, black handles on black cabinets, silver knobs on grey cabinets, champagne gold handles on beige cabinets. The harmony sure is timeless and beautiful!

NO. 2 Be bold. Use contrasts!
Using color as a decision mechanism is quite fruitful; if you feel a little bolder and louder, you can also create a stylish contrast with your hardware! This way, you will attract even more attention to your beautiful cabinets and perhaps enhance their beauty! For example, you can see in the picture below how our client underlined the beauty of their blue cabinets with contrasting gold handles and brought the color out even more, creating a vibrant and exciting kitchen!

NO. 3 Shapes can be your secret weapon!
Last but not least, shapes! This one might sound easy, but it can also be a little tricky! Using shapes in design doesn't necessarily mean matching the shapes you see. You should also consider the balance and the relationship between the shapes you are using. For example, having framed and heavily detailed cabinets using handles that would match those beautiful curves could create a cluttered look and be a little bit too much. Finding the said balance, in such a case, you may want to go with simpler hardware to complement the details of your cabinets, as our client did in the picture below!
