“Think of your kitchen hardware as the final layer of jewelry that can instantly change the look of your space. House Beautiful’s market director, Carisha Swanson, sees hardware as a chance to invest in accents that reflect your personal style. Pulls come in a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from traditional styles to those reminiscent of sculptural art pieces. There are gorgeous bold finishes: patinated bronze, satin brass, and copper, and modern matte tones for more subtlety. Aesthetics aside, Swanson stresses that trying out the pulls before installation is just as important. “You’ll touch these every single day, so make sure you like the way it feels in your hand,” she explains.
