There are two distinct types of kitchen hardware customer. The first is the savvy upgrader, who recognises that there's still life in their cabinets but suspects something shiny could give it all a lift. The second is at the tail end of a full renovation, brain muddled by decision fatigue, ready to grab at anything that looks vaguely brass-like in order to get the thing done.
The good news is that the best kitchen handles can add instant polish or punch to your kitchen at a relatively inexpensive cost – compared to the cabinets, anyway. The bad is that getting it not-quite-right has an outsized effect.
