How to Choose the Perfect Hardware to Match Your Design Aesthetic | Top Knobs

August 17, 2023

Design is in the details! No statement holds more truth than when deciding on the perfect decorative hardware. Selecting the right knobs and pulls can seamlessly transform a space by establishing an elevated and cohesive design.

At Top Knobs, we offer a wide variety of decorative hardware styles, with over 4,500 different options available. From traditional to industrial, there is sure to be a fixture that flawlessly reflects your personal taste. Whether you’re renovating a brand new kitchen or simply refreshing your master bath, we’ve put together our top tips for selecting the right decorative hardware that effortlessly matches your design aesthetic!

Define Your Style

The first step to selecting knobs and pulls to complement your design is to identify the overall style of your space. Is it modern, traditional, industrial or something completely bespoke? Once you determine the tone of your room, choose fixtures that enhance the look! If the atmosphere leans more  industrial, you’ll want to focus on knobs and pulls that are edgy and functional. The Top Knobs Find My Style Tool can help to narrow down our wide array of decorative hardware to a small selection that best reflects you.

Finish Fanatic

Expressing yourself in a project isn’t limited to the paint color options – we believe you should have the same opportunity to express yourself through your knobs, pulls and accessories! Our product line is available in over 40 sealed finishes, each with a personality of its own. Select a finish that aligns with the style of your space, Brushed Satin Nickel pairs well with a contemporary vibe while Oil Rubbed Bronze compliments a rustic setting. Click here to view all of our available finishes.

Size (& Color) Matters!

When finalizing your hardware selections, there’s a big factor to consider – your cabinets! You can opt to have decorative hardware that contrasts with the color of your cabinets or blends in. Using dark pieces on light cabinets and vice versa can create a captivating look! Another important factor is selecting fixtures that are proportional to the size of your cabinets. Larger doors and drawers may call for longer pulls, while petite knobs and pulls are more ergonomic for smaller fronts. Read our sizing guide for even more placement tips.

Consistency is Key

Balance between your style and finish choices is important for maintaining a clean and mature design. If you’re playing with multiple types of hardware, such as a mix of knobs and pulls, ensure they all share a common design element like finish or shape. Selecting knobs and pulls in the same collection or series can preserve cohesion in a room. If you’d like to browse our complete product library, click here. Always remember to take into account other design elements in the room, like light fixtures, faucets and appliances. Don’t be intimidated by mixing metals but don’t forget to keep cohesion in your design!

Experiment with Samples

Before settling on your final decision, order samples of the hardware you’re considering. Just like trying on a pair of jeans before you take them home, you’ll want to ensure that your home furnishings are the perfect fit! Testing different decorative hardware options on your cabinets is a good way to see how they feel and look in different lighting, if the finish melds with your other fixtures and if they achieve your desired design!

Summer 2023 Design Trends to Follow | Top Knobs

June 21, 2023

The weather’s getting warmer, the days are getting longer and the water is getting clearer. Summertime is finally here! In celebration of the official start of summer, we’re sharing the hottest trends that are a must to follow this season.

Mixed Metal Finishes

Say goodbye to single-tone finishes. This summer, we expect to see more mixing and matching of fixture finishes throughout the whole home! Combining multiple metals in the same room adds a layer of visual interest while upping the design ante with contemporary flair.  Looking for an easy way to incorporate this trend into your home? Try our Bit Pulls.

Coastal Colors

Summer brings brighter days, fresh greenery and savory sensations of the crisp ocean air. Why not reflect the beautiful shades of nature in your home? This season, the color story taking center stage is a coastal-inspired palette. We’re expecting to see all the seafoam greens and classic blues taking over indoor and outdoor spaces. Not only is this color scheme perfect for adding a dose of the seaside to a room, natural color schemes can reduce stress, increase productivity and creativity and make you feel overall more happy!

A Stripe of Pattern

A timeless summertime staple, stripes are a classic summer trend that will never go out of style. Whether you’re refreshing the living room with a striped throw or adding a new striped rug to your outdoor patio, linear patterns can infuse energy into any space. Looking for the perfect hardware to compliment your summer style? Try the Top Knobs Selection Tool.

Light, Bright & White!

What’s a more enduring look than white? There’s no better time than summer to refresh a room with bright, white walls!  Adding this milky hue to interiors establishes a clean, light feeling while also making a room feel much larger than it is. White walls also lend the perfect backdrop for colorful artwork, furniture and statement decorative accents, making it the perfect canvas if your style is always changing for the season. For a stunning contrast, try mixing our Flat Black finish with your white cabinetry and walls.

Natural Materials

Bringing elements of nature indoors gives an organic touch to spaces. This summer, we anticipate a rise in the use of raw materials. Natural fabrics like linen and cotton will grace interiors such as curtains, throw pillows and furniture upholstery. While cabinets and furniture enhanced by warm wooden textures create a welcoming atmosphere. Looking for hardware to complement natural materials? Browse our 2023 Catalog to shop over 4,500 decorative hardware styles.
