If you want to refurbish your old furniture, or change the handles of your kitchen, discover all the types of handles from brands such as Dubois or Estamp available on the site. Opt for chrome bar handles for your modern kitchen furniture, and for your old dresser, choose drop handles or patinated lug handles to maintain the antique look.
Furniture handles are an integral part of a room's decor and thus follow rules that need to be understood to beautify your interior.
If you want to highlight your furniture, there are combinations to avoid.
Let's start with the main materials and finishes.
- The chrome finish: this silver-colored finish makes a material resistant to corrosion, rust, and wear. It can be matte or glossy, polished, or brushed.
- The nickel finish is almost similar to the chrome finish.
- The patinated finish gives an antique look to materials.
- The brass material: it is yellow in color if it is not coated with chrome or nickel.
- Nylon or polyamide, close to plastic, these 2 materials are popular for their practical side and require no maintenance.
Therefore, for example, avoid placing a shiny chrome handle on the old family dresser.
Let's then look at some types of handles.
- Bar handles: they have clean cuts and match well with a very modern interior or for kitchen furniture.
- Lug handles: unlike bar handles, they have less sharp curves, are not necessarily intended for a straight linear environment, and can have a worn, antique appearance.
- Drop handles: they fold down on furniture and are often made of brass, which means they are suited for less contemporary furniture.
- Cup handles: they are discreet and prevent injuries as they do not protrude from the furniture. However, they are more complicated to install as they require drilling into the furniture.
- Ring handles: they can be used to lift doors from the floor (cup ring) or to open drawers.
