Choosing the Right Gold Hardware for Your White Kitchen

The options for hardware are endless, so making sure you pick the right style can seem stressful. There are handles, knobs, pulls and so much more. When it comes to deciding which is best for your kitchen, there are some things to take into consideration. First and foremost look at the budget you have and work from there. Once you have that number factored in, think about those living in your home. If you have little ones think about how easy or hard it will be for them to access things in the kitchen.

How to Install Gold Hardware in Your White Kitchen

When it comes to installing kitchen hardware, the key factor is to take your time and never rush! Step one is always assessing your placement. When it comes to picking where you want your handle to be on your cabinet, be sure to pick what feels best for your aesthetic, whether it’s in the center or a corner. Step two is measuring before you break out the drill. This step is something you may want to double or even triple-check, and then once it’s marked correctly break out the drill. When creating a clean and clear hole it is best to drill 3/4 from the front and the rest from the back to eliminate any flaking. Finally, the last step is screwing in your hardware and admiring the finished product. Not the handiest and need a helping hand? Not a problem, when it comes to any sort of DIY kitchen upgrade it never hurts to reach out to a professional to help perfect any sort of installation.
