          ">New kitchen handles are the finishing touch that completes a kitchen respray. The right hardware can elevate your kitchen from "refreshed" to "completely transformed." Here's how to choose.

## Handle Styles
Cup Handles: Classic and timeless. Perfect for traditional and Shaker-style kitchens. Particularly popular on darker colours like Farrow &amp; Ball Hague Blue and Railings.

Bar Handles: Clean, modern, and minimal. The most popular choice for contemporary kitchens.

Knobs: Simple and understated. Great for wall cabinets and smaller doors.

J-Profile/Handleless: Ultra-modern with a clean, seamless look. The handle is integrated into the door edge.

## Handle Finishes
Brushed Brass: The most popular finish right now. Warm and luxurious — stunning on dark and green cabinets.

Chrome/Polished Nickel: Timeless and versatile. Works with everything, especially lighter colours.

Matt Black: Bold and contemporary. Perfect for white or light grey cabinets.

Antique Bronze: Characterful and warm. Beautiful on traditional-style doors in heritage colours.

## Sizing
For base cabinets, 160mm–192mm bar handles are standard. For drawers, 224mm–320mm works best. Cup handles are typically 96mm–128mm. We can advise on exact sizing during your consultation.

## Our Hardware Service
Our hardware replacement service includes sourcing, supply, and fitting of new handles, hinges, and soft-close mechanisms. We handle everything so you don't have to.
