What Kind of Cabinet Pulls Should I Choose in 2024? An Expert Guide to the Big Trends in Hardware

1. SHAPELY PULLS

To bring a contemporary edge to your kitchen, irregular, asymmetric and playful shapes can be relied on for a modern twist. Think handmade and curved shapes that are interactive.

2. MIXED PULLS

The matchy-matchy look has been 'out' for some time, but this continues to dominate in 2024. Instead of the traditional matching look, designers and homeowners are mixing styles of pulls as well as metal materials for a more eclectic feel. Where our kitchens were traditionally gleaming white rooms that felt sterile and void of personality, they're evolving into cozy kitchens that showcase our identity. More importantly, they are places we want to spend time and relax.

3. UNIQUE MATERIALS

For the best kitchen handles that really shine, consider going outside the box in terms of material. 'In addition to mere functional elements, cabinet pulls are transformed into artistic expressions. Variations in materials, from metal to wood and leather, are being introduced to harmonize with the rest of the design in a room,' says Gudbjørg Simonsen, founder of her eponymous studio.

4. TEXTURED FINISHES

Textured materials are also trending in the kitchen. Knurled T-bars and pulls appear luxurious, with small ridges on the surface for extra grip and exhibiting craftsmanship and attention to detail.

5. ELIMINATING PULLS ALTOGETHER

Finally, a sleek way to open and close your kitchen cabinets is to forgo the hardware altogether, instead picking cabinet doors with a cut-out section that you can use to pull to open the cabinet door with ease. It's a look that has been gaining traction for some time, is a budget-friendly solution, but we love its minimalist kitchen aesthetic. A lack of hardware altogether means less visual clutter, which helps keep the space looking calming. This design by Studio Nato does the look perfectly, with the oregan pine cabinet doors cut so there is no need for hardware.
