when to use knobs

Kitchen Style

Your design style is likely to be one of the biggest factors in determining which hardware you use. If you are looking to pick a specific design style then you want hardware that meets the theme.

If you want a more traditional or classic look, then knobs may be the right choice. Knobs bring a warm character to a space, as they remind you of rustic or farmhouse styles. Knobs also tend to wear washed earthy metals a bit better. Of course, though, there is no rule that you can’t make this hardware work with other styles.

Cabinet Door Style
Different cabinet door styles just look better with specific hardware. For example, detailed cabinet door styles, like Arched Cabinet Doors or French-Lite Glass Ready Doors are well complemented by a nicely-crafted detailed knob.

Grip
knobs are generally better for cabinets over the counter as they are easier to get your hands on in with an extended reach.
