Small Change - Big Difference: Swapping out Cabinet Hardware
Let’s chat cabinet hardware and how swapping out those old, nasty knobs and pulls can make a massive impact on your space without breaking the bank. All you need is a tape measure, screwdriver and a love for making your house a home!
Why is this a worthwhile project?
Let me tell you!
It’s affordable.
Cabinet hardware comes in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, which means you can find something that fits your budget and style. From sleek and modern to charming and vintage, there's something for everyone. And the best part? You can often find budget-friendly options that look just as good as their high-end counterparts, so you can achieve that designer look on a dime.
It makes an impact.
Swapping out your old cabinet hardware is like giving your cabinets a facelift. It's amazing how something as simple as changing out knobs and pulls can completely elevate the look of your cabinets and, in turn, your entire room. It's a small change that can make a big impact, giving your space a fresh and updated look without much time or money spent.
It can be more functional.
Upgrading your cabinet hardware can also improve functionality. If you've been struggling with knobs that are hard to grip or pulls that are difficult to pull, swapping them out for new ones can make a world of difference. You'll love the smooth and easy operation of your cabinets with shiny new hardware, making your everyday tasks in the kitchen or bathroom a breeze.
It’s fun!
Choosing new cabinet hardware is like going on a mini treasure hunt. You get to explore different styles, finishes, and designs, and unleash your creativity to find the perfect match for your space. Whether you're into sleek and modern black, charming and rustic brass, or funky and colourful glass, there's a world of options out there to express your personal style and add a pop of personality to your cabinets.
It’s easy.
Swapping out cabinet hardware is a DIY project that's perfect for beginners. All you need is a screwdriver and if you have pulls, then a tape measure as well! You want to open the cabinet, measure the distance between the screws and use that measurement when shopping for pulls. Then simply remove the old hardware and install the new one in its place. It's a quick and easy task that can be done in just a few minutes.
So, there you have it, now let’s get shopping! Locally in KW I like to go to W&W Liquidation, but you can also shop online at Etsy, Amazon, or the manufacturers themselves such as Berenson and Emtek. Here are some favourites just to get your creative juices flowing!
