If you’re bored with the same old-same old handles for kitchen cabinets available at most home improvement stores, don’t despair. Your choices are many – from unique products at specialty shops to making handles yourself.
Make Your Own
One creative individual came up with using an old set of cutlery (or a relatively inexpensive set of new cutlery) for the handles themselves. By bending the spoons and forks into the general shapes of handles, you can achieve a fun and crafty effect. What better theme for handles than the most used of kitchen tools – cutlery.
Store Bought
If you prefer not to make your own, select stores actually sell cutlery shaped handles. These are not actual cutlery, but metal handles shaped into cutlery forms. Although not as authentic as using real forks and spoons, the effect is still unique and fun.
Buying Creative Hardware
Although generally expensive, many specialty kitchen stores carry unique kitchen hardware such as handles which you won’t see in other more common stores. If cutlery isn’t your cup of tea, you have a huge range of contemporary cabinet handles to choose from. You can go from sleek and modern to abstract designs to fun shapes.
Handles are like the icing on the cake of your cabinets – they finish off cabinet doors, sometimes to an extent where they can make or break the look of your kitchen. Spending some energy on your hardware can be well worth it.
