How to choose Handles for Furniture

A really beautiful and well-kept house can be seen above all from the details. Never leave the details to chance which, indeed, must be studied to perfection, if you want to obtain the desired aesthetic result. Furniture handles are an obvious example.

The most beautiful furniture in the world can be exhibited, but if the handles are not the right ones, the whole set is adversely affected. In short, as regards the handles for the furniture (and not only in reality!).

It is forbidden to make mistakes. The choice is less difficult and demanding than you might think, just take into account some ad-hoc advice, such as the ones, we give below.

Long handles: the best for wooden kitchens

Almost always the wooden kitchens, a classic that knows no sunset, are equipped with long handles, in various materials, on doors and drawers. The reason is obvious: they are extremely practical and functional and, moreover, allow a secure grip.

The aesthetic impact is quite strong, especially if you prefer rather original shapes and colors. Why choose them? In the kitchen, the long handles have an extra option, that is to act, if necessary, also as a support for tea towels and pot holders. Have you ever thought about it? And if the space is limited, this function is even more appreciated.

Furniture handles: Advice

So, as you can see, choosing the right handles for your furniture is not as difficult as you think, as long as you keep some basic elements in mind. Personal taste obviously plays an essential role, but other aspects are equally important. Among these, without doubt, the materials.

The handles are used daily several times and are subject to the inevitable damage caused by wear; the high quality of the materials is essential for their success, and if you want to avoid having to replace them (and buy back!) after a short time. Whether, it is ceramic, metal alloys or other, the handles must be solid and strong, such as to ensure functionality and durability.

If the quality is high, you can be sure that your handles will remain intact for years and years, keeping an appearance very similar, or almost, to the new ones. From what has been said so far, it is clear that above all, there are two factors to evaluate when choosing the handles for the furniture in your home: the practical / functional one and the aesthetic one.

As for the former, besides the type of material and the quality of the same, the precision of the details, the solidity and the practicality of use, for the latter, rely on your taste and carefully weigh the final effect you want to achieve.

Ultimately, rely on a brand that is considered a leader in the sector, as this is undoubtedly the best guarantee to be satisfied with your purchase from any point of view.

Antique furniture? Handles in tune.

The classic furniture is perfect for evoking the past and certain ancient atmospheres now lost, provided that every detail is adequate. The ideal handles in this case are those in style and antiqued, which reproduce models and motifs of the past, in fine finishes and high-quality materials.

Antique brass represents the choice of choice, above all, but not only, for complements in poor art.

Modern furniture?: Recessed handles

Usually those who choose modern furniture for their home have a practical, decisive and little inclined to surround themselves with superfluous. Modern furniture tends to be essential, linear and to make the most of the space, also as regards the handles.

The built-in handles are perfect in these cases and can be inserted both in the bedroom and in the kitchen furniture. The doors of the wall units and wardrobes, but also the drawers, will be particularly functional and the aesthetic impact of the handle will be minimal.

If you choose the handles equipped with a push system with spring then, which makes them totally hidden, they will not be seen at all.

This type of solution adapts perfectly to design furniture, whose shapes and colors are enhanced without the handle being invasive.

After all, the handle has mainly a utility purpose and only secondly also an aesthetic one. If you want handles that do not clutter and are not very showy, the recessed ones are certainly for you.
