How to Choose Kitchen Door Handles to Suit Your Design - Decor Handles

With your newly remodelled kitchen almost ready for use, it’s time to start putting the finishing touches to the space. The right kitchen door handle (or handles) can mean the difference between a room that feels polished, and one that seems a little bit rushed. Making the best choice requires you to think about the overall design of the kitchen, as well as the rest of the house. Although you can use other handles in your home as a reference, it’s not a hard and fast rule to choose the same types. Here are a few things to consider before you make your final decision. 


Quality First

Modern, metallic door handles are particularly popular when it comes to kitchen doors. These send a strong message of sophistication without being pretentious in the process. This is a good choice for a high quality handle, which is especially important considering the amount of times it will be used in a day. A reputable supplier will make sure that the handles are well designed and that they won’t need a lot of maintenance over the years. When you’re exploring different types — and you’ve matched up those that go well with the overall design of the space — whittle down the list by eliminating those that are less durable than others. 


Where Comfort Meets Stylish

When you’re looking at different kitchen door handle types, it’s a good idea to try and hit the sweet spot between comfort and stylish. Although a more classic handle with a heavier door might work well with the general aesthetic, this may not be the most practical decision in terms of comfort. Don’t be shy about trying a few options in a showroom or at your nearest DIY or hardware store. Take time out to find exactly what you’re looking for, rather than rushing to buy the first thing you see. 


Always Consider Colour Schemes

Even if you don’t have a lot of design experience behind you, it’s easy enough to get a bit of advice about the best colours to pair up within any given space. Making sure the kitchen door handles suit your overall design means choosing them based on the colour schemes in the space. No matter which type you are exploring, if the colour clashes with the rest of the room, you’ll never be able to achieve that exquisite finish you and your loved ones might be after. From there, the space will start to feel more like home in no time. 


Remember To Ask For Advice

If you’re worried about anything related to choosing the best door handles for your kitchen or another space, you’re well off asking for some expert advice to be able to make well informed decisions.
