Knobs or handles?

Very simply, there are two types of fittings, knobs and handles. Both are brilliant options, they work everywhere and the most important thing is that you yourself think the fitting is nice and comfortable to hold.

Choosing between handles and knobs for your kitchen and wardrobe doors depends on several factors such as functionality, aesthetics, and personal preference. Here's a guide to help you make an informed decision.

Advantages of handles:

• Ergonomics: Handles are often easier to grip and pull, which can be beneficial when you have large or heavy doors such as a refrigerator or a dishwasher.
• Variation in Design: Handles come in many different shapes and sizes, which can give your kitchen or wardrobes a unique look.
• Functionality: Handles can be more practical for frequently used cabinets and drawers as they offer a larger grip area.

Advantages of knobs:

• Cost effective: Knobs are usually cheaper than handles.
• Easier to Install: Because they only require one hole, they are easier to mount.
• Aesthetics: Knobs can give a clean and classic look that fits well in traditional or minimalist kitchens.

When to choose a handle:

• For large cupboards and heavy drawers where a greater grip is needed.
• If you want your fittings to be visible and be a bit of an interior detail, handles are the right choice.

When to pick buds:

• For smaller cabinets and drawers, as handles can often be perceived as too large otherwise.
• If you prefer a traditional or simple design.

Design and style:

• Choose fittings that complement the overall style of the kitchen or room. A good tip is to look at your kitchen faucet or other fittings you have in the room. Use these as your starting point when choosing fittings. If the mixer is stainless steel, a stainless steel knob or handle often fits perfectly!
• It is very common to mix knobs and handles. If you do, make sure to choose products that match each other. On the product pages, you get help with suggestions that fit each handle. If you still feel unsure, don't hesitate to chat with us or email info@knokkbeslag.se
• Also keep in mind that different materials require different care. Fittings are available in different materials, with leather, brass and aluminum being the most common. In general, all materials fit everywhere. What you can think about, however, is to avoid leather fittings in very humid spaces such as bathrooms.
