How To Choose Kitchen Handles Inspiration # How to Choose Kitchen Handles: Complete Guide 12 September 2025 5 min read By Kenny Wyatt ![How to Choose Kitchen Handles: Complete Guide — resprayed kitchen cabinets photographed in London](/assets/kitchen-worktop-oven-DiEYWxVm.jpg) New kitchen handles are the finishing touch that completes a [kitchen respray](/services/full-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 & Ball Hague Blue](/blog/farrow-and-ball-kitchen-colours) 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](/services/hardware-replacement) includes sourcing, supply, and fitting of new handles, hinges, and soft-close mechanisms.
