The designer furniture handle, the detail that transforms your décor
Replacing a furniture handle or a furniture knob is one of the simplest ways to transform a kitchen, a chest of drawers, a wardrobe or a dressing room without replacing the furniture. This small piece of decorative hardware can modernise an antique piece, bring character to a contemporary kitchen or simply create a finish that is more in keeping with your interior décor.
At milla handles, we source furniture handles and knobs from numerous European manufacturers, workshops and factories. Our collection brings together both contemporary mass-produced models and more exclusive pieces, handcrafted, hand-made or produced in small batches depending on the collection.
Are you looking to restore a family heirloom? Discover our handles and knobs for antique and vintage furniture in particular. For a more creative project, our selection of original furniture handles and knobs makes it easy to personalise a chest of drawers, a sideboard, a bathroom cabinet or a kitchen front.
A wide choice of furniture handles and knobs
Like door handles and door knobs, furniture hardware is available in a great variety of shapes, dimensions, styles and finishes.
The furniture knob is particularly versatile. Round, oval, square, rectangular, domed, cylindrical, sculpted or more minimalist, it is equally suited to a drawer, a cupboard door, a bedside table, a chest of drawers or a wardrobe.
The bar handle, typically fixed at two points, offers a wider grip and is particularly well suited to kitchen drawers, dressing room fronts, bathroom cabinets and large cupboard doors. Shell handles, cup pulls or profiled models, meanwhile, lend a more vintage, industrial or contemporary look.
Before replacing an existing handle, remember to check its fixing centre distance, i.e. the distance between the two screw points. For a new installation, you have more freedom: you can then choose the shape and dimensions based on the style and proportions of the furniture.
Brass, bronze, porcelain, wood, stainless steel: which material to choose for a furniture handle?
The material contributes as much to the style as to the feel of the handle. Our selection includes, depending on the models and collections, brass, bronze, zamak, aluminium, steel, stainless steel, iron, porcelain, ceramic, wood, leather, glass, crystal, concrete or marble.
Brass furniture handles and knobs are particularly appreciated for their warm appearance. Brass can be polished, brushed, satin-finished, patinated or given various other finishes to suit both classic and contemporary interiors.
Bronze produces pieces with a more distinctive character. Some of the bronze furniture handles in our selection are handcrafted in France.
Porcelain and ceramic are particularly well suited to classic, retro or country-chic interiors, or to furniture where you wish to add a softer decorative touch.
Wood brings a natural and warm finish, whilst leather allows the creation of flexible and original pull tabs. Marble, meanwhile, adds a mineral and decorative dimension that is particularly striking on a chest of drawers, a bathroom cabinet or contemporary furniture.
For more modern projects, we also offer a wide range of handles in zamak, aluminium, steel or stainless steel. Some collections are made in European workshops, notably in Poland, with production specialising in furniture accessories and hardware.
This diversity means you can choose a handle not only by colour, but also by material, feel, manufacturing method and the character you wish to give the piece of furniture.
From artisan handles to contemporary European collections
Our range of furniture handles brings together different European areas of expertise. Some references come from specialist industrial production, offering a wide variety of dimensions, shapes and finishes. Others are made in artisan workshops, sometimes to order, with a greater degree of hand craftsmanship.
Our selection therefore includes pieces made or crafted in France as well as collections from specialist European manufacturers, notably in Poland. We also work with various European decorative hardware houses in order to offer complementary ranges, from contemporary furniture to more traditional creations.
Depending on the collections, certain pieces may be cast, polished, brushed, patinated, painted or hand-finished. Working with natural materials such as wood, leather, marble or certain metals can also give each piece a slightly different appearance. These characteristics contribute to the character of artisan products.
This diversity makes it possible to offer both a modern furniture handle with minimalist lines and a knob inspired by antique hardware, an Art Deco handle, a sculptural creation or a more discreet model designed for a contemporary kitchen.
Furniture handles for the kitchen, dressing room, bathroom and throughout the home
A furniture handle can immediately change the perception of a piece of furniture. On plain kitchen fronts, brass, black, stainless steel or coloured handles can create a striking contrast. On an antique chest of drawers, a bronze, porcelain or brass knob can preserve the spirit of the piece while refreshing its appearance.
Handles and knobs can be used on many types of furniture: kitchen unit, drawer, chest of drawers, sideboard, wardrobe, dressing room, TV unit, bathroom cabinet, bedside table, desk or cupboard.
Finishes also allow you to build a cohesive decorative scheme: matt black, gold, natural brass, nickel, chrome, bronze, copper, white or more original shades depending on the collection. Please note, however: a finish with a similar name may show colour variations between manufacturers or materials.
For a complete project, it is also possible to seek harmony between furniture handles and the door handles in the room. Some hardware collections offer several coordinated elements that allow the same aesthetic language to be carried through doors, furniture, cupboards or windows.
Replacing a furniture handle: a simple and effective renovation
Replacing a furniture knob or handle is generally a straightforward operation. A knob is most often fixed with a screw passing through the furniture front. A bar handle typically uses two fixing points: you should therefore check the existing centre distance before ordering when the holes have already been drilled.
This small change allows you to personalise a piece of furniture without undertaking major works. It is particularly worthwhile for renovating a kitchen, modernising a dressing room or giving a new identity to an antique piece.
Discover our collection of designer furniture handles and knobs in a wide range of materials and finishes: brass, bronze, porcelain, wood, leather, stainless steel, steel, zamak, aluminium, marble, iron or concrete.
From artisan knobs to contemporary models made in a European workshop, our aim is to offer a wide enough selection to find the right detail for every piece of furniture and every interior style.
