Glass is an interesting material for kitchen cabinet pulls (also known as knobs.) Glass pulls can be a nice complimentary touch to many cabinet styles.
Clear Glass Pulls
Clear glass makes excellent pulls when you want a very subtle knob. They don’t stand out a lot; however they add a classy and unique finishing touch. Clear glass pulls come in many shapes of bulbous varieties that are great for cabinetry in the kitchen: round, faceted, swirled, flower, cube, hexagon and etched. Some are handle style with two points of contact and a gap between the handle and the cabinet.
Colored Glass Pulls Suit Many Kitchen Cabinet Styles
If you want something more eye catching, colored glass can be just the ticket. Many colors are available in glass, such as royal red, cobalt blue, light purple (amethyst), deep yellow (amber), light and dark green, and light yellow.
Colored pulls look great with white or solid cabinet doors as well as with metal and glass based doors.
Opaque or Translucent
In addition to translucent glass, opaque colors are also a choice. With a fairly milky appearance, opaque colored glass pulls are attractive and have a more solid look to them.
Not Just Old Fashioned
If you are picturing the glass knobs and pulls that your grandmother had, think again. Although these types are definitely available due to the increased interest in retro fashion, many designs are highly contemporary with sleek styling.
coolknobsandpulls.com have a big selection of clear, colored and frosted glass pulls with a wide variety of bases such as polished nickel, brushed nickel, oil rubbed bronze, black and more. Some of the pulls are mainly glass with no base in between the pull and the cabinet door. These are great when you don’t want another type of color or material showing besides the kitchen cabinet and the glass.
