Irresistible handles to enhance your furniture!

In interior design, every detail counts. From wall colours and furniture choices to accessories, everything helps create a distinctive, personalised atmosphere. Among these details, furniture handles and knobs play a key role. Often overlooked, they can transform the look of a piece of furniture and provide the perfect finishing touch.

From our wide range of decorative hardware, we’ve selected the five best designer furniture knobs to enhance your interiors. Whether you love minimalist, vintage, industrial or Scandinavian style, you’ll find fresh inspiration here to perfect your interior décor.

Current furniture knob trends

Quality hardware

Current furniture knob trends showcase a wide variety of materials and styles.

Brass, ceramic, wood and glass are particularly popular. Brass lends timeless elegance, ceramic allows for artistic designs, and wood brings natural warmth. Zamak, an alloy of zinc and aluminium, is also popular with designers of decorative hardware, who shape it to give kitchen or bathroom furniture a new look. 

Minimalist, vintage, industrial and Scandinavian styles dominate. Unusual shapes — square, rectangular, domed cup or faceted — are overtaking traditional round and oval knobs. 

On-trend finishes complete the look: lacquered black, golden brown, brushed stainless steel, anthracite and bright colours are all within reach!

Designer handles 

A simple knob can completely transform the look of a piece of furniture. This small but powerful detail can bring the whole room’s décor together.

Interior design trends are constantly evolving, and furniture handles reflect them directly. Choosing designer knobs is an easy way to refresh and modernise your furniture.

How to choose furniture knobs

How do you choose handles that will enhance your furniture? Here’s what to consider:

Material quality 

The first consideration is material quality. Durable, hard-wearing materials help ensure a long service life. From stainless steel and polished brass to wrought iron, crystal and porcelain, there’s plenty of choice! 

Appearance and feel are important for enjoyable everyday use.

Design and aesthetics 

The knobs you choose should harmonise with the style of your furniture and interior. Select colours and finishes carefully to complement your décor rather than clash with it.

Functionality and comfort 

Beyond looks, functionality and comfort are essential. Knobs should be ergonomic and easy to use every day. 

Easy installation of your new furniture knobs

Ease of installation is another important consideration. Knobs need to suit different types of furniture: a handle for a wooden drawer or cupboard door has different requirements from one for a glass door, for example. They should also be straightforward to fit, even for DIY beginners with few tools.

Budget and durability 

Investing in quality knobs is crucial for long-term use. Although some designs cost more, their durability and appearance often justify the investment.
