Kitchen Handles

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should you put knobs or handles on kitchen cabinets?

"Where you position your kitchen handles can influence the overall aesthetic of your kitchen.

For a balanced placement, fit kitchen knobs in the centre of cupboard doors and drawer fronts. If you want a quick reminder of which way cabinets open, make sure to place handles on the side opposite the hinges.
