Pull Together

Add the perfect accent to your kitchen or bath.

With intricate details, distinctive finishes and original designs, contemporary cabinet handles can add just the right touch to your kitchen. “It’s like jewelry that accessorizes your outfit,” says Shelley Tanner of John Cook Kitchens. “Some people like a simple look that is more understated and some people like to jazz it up. Placement, size and style affects the look and is a personal choice.”

Roseann Freitas of Archipelago Hawaii says handles are functional pieces that can be aesthetically pleasing as well. “They complement the design theme that is being pulled throughout the kitchen,” Freitas says. “From a simple, elegant pull to a more statement piece.”

“Creatively placed and correctly sized, they enhance the kitchen like decorative accessories on a basic dress.”
