Want to add vintage style and a brand new look to your kitchen cabinets without spending a ton of money? Bin pulls could be just the solution. Bin pulls instead of regular cabinet knobs or pulls add a classic look to your kitchen cabinets.

Bin Pulls Come In A Wide Range of Finishes, Styles, and Shapes

Bin pulls have come into the limelight in recent years, though they’ve been popular for many years since the mid-19th century. Many older homes used this style initially, but may have been replaced with more “modern” types over the years.

You can find bin pulls in nickel, chrome, brass and even ornate iron. It all depends on the look you’re going for in your kitchen design. A wide range of decorative styles are yours for the choosing.

Bin Pulls Work Great on Drawers Too

You can coordinate the look with bin pulls throughout your kitchen. They make sturdy drawer pulls and work just as well as they do on cabinets. If you have other accent pieces in your kitchen such as a jelly cupboard or a free-standing cabinet, you can add the same pulls for a truly coordinated look.

Add Knobs and Pulls to Magnetic Kitchen Cabinets

If your kitchen was designed with magnetic kitchen cabinets, you can change the look and efficiency completely by selecting stylish knobs or pulls. You may like your kitchen cabinets as they are; the advantage of kitchen cabinets with magnetic latches is that they do close securely. But the additional style and functionality of knobs or pulls is worth some thought.

When you have flour on your hands and you need the measuring cup or an additional wooden spoon, it’s easier to get into your cabinet drawers and cabinets without such a big mess if you can slide a finger around a knob or pull instead of having to grab the door itself to open it. So there’s less cleanup involved.

The look of well-designed cabinet hardware also adds dimension and interest to rather plain cabinets. Kitchen cabinet hardware comes in a huge range of styles and prices to fit you taste and your budget.

DirectBuy offers an extensive selection of kitchen cabinets and accessories to help you design and update your kitchen to match your taste and your lifestyle – all at manufacturer-direct prices.

There are many different types of cabinet doors to select from when you are remodeling or building a new kitchen. You will find some cabinets with a self-closing door hinge, and others that do not have this feature.

Before you start the selection process, delve into the different types of cabinet door catches so your investment will keep you happy for years to come – much better to know the differences before they are installed in your home.

Here are some of the popular options you will find in the marketplace today:

1. Spring-roller catches – These work well on inset doors whether framed or unframed. This style is very quiet and unassuming.

2. Magnetic catches – This style is inexpensive and is a popular choice for many homeowners. If you think the clicking sound these doors make when they close will bother you, this won’t be a good choice.

3. Friction catches – These are not visible from the outside and are quiet when the cabinet door closes. These friction catches are a little more expensive than magnetic catches, but the difference may be worth it to you.

No matter which choice you make, knowing the differences in each type of cabinet door catch can help you make a selection that will work best for you. It’s important to enjoy the time you spend in your kitchen and the method in which.

Some people may think cabinet hardware doesn’t matter much in the scheme of things when they’re remodeling a kitchen or building a new home. But if you think about how many times this choice is repeated within one room, it makes more difference than you might think.

Anyone who’s ever built or remodeled will tell you that during the home building or remodeling process, it is necessary to find ways to cut corners to stay within the budget for each part of the project. But one thing you really don’t want to skimp on is your kitchen cabinet hinges and hardware. Buy the very best quality you can afford and save on something that isn’t so obvious.

Choose hardware that will accentuate the style of your new kitchen cabinets and go for durability too. If you consider how many times you open and close kitchen cabinets and drawers, you will begin to realize just how important a good choice really is.

Your choice of hinges, knobs and pulls will make a major difference in the overall design of your kitchen. So trim your budget in another area and splurge on high-quality hardware for your kitchen cabinets. You’ll be glad you did in the long run.
