Choosing Bathroom Cabinet Hardware

Consider the style & finish.

The hardware you choose should complement the overall style of your bathroom. If your bathroom has a traditional or vintage look, consider hardware with intricate designs. For a modern or contemporary bathroom, consider hardware with clean lines.

Similarly, the finish of your hardware should complement the overall style of your bathroom. Finishes like brass or oil-rubbed bronze go great with traditional or vintage looks, and a sleek finish like chrome or nickel might be ideal for modern bathrooms.

Consider the size and shape of your cabinets.

The size and shape of your cabinets should also be taken into consideration when choosing hardware. Larger cabinets may require larger hardware, while smaller cabinets may look better with smaller hardware. Consider the shape of the cabinets as well – rounded knobs may look better on rounded cabinets, while square knobs may look better on cabinets with sharp corners.

Think about functionality.

Before making a final decision, test out the hardware to make sure it feels comfortable and operates smoothly. Try opening and closing the cabinets with the hardware to make sure it works well with the weight of the door or drawer.

The hardware you choose should be easy to use and comfortable to grip. Consider the size of the hardware and how it will feel in your hand. If you have children or elderly family members, choose hardware that is easy to operate.

While on the topic of functionality, it is also important to consider the cleaning and maintenance. From water splashes to dried hairspray, a lot of substances will have to be cleaned from the hardware regularly. So, make sure cleaning will not be a burden.

Look for quality.

Hardware is an investment in your bathroom, so choose quality pieces that will last as long as your cabinets. Look for hardware made from durable materials like solid brass or stainless steel. Go with lower-quality pieces if you do not mind changing out hardware regularly, or if you like to change things up periodically.

Consider the cost.

This probably needs not be mentioned as it’s instinctive, but hardware can vary greatly in price, so it's important to consider your budget when making your selection. While it's tempting to choose the least expensive option, remember that high-quality hardware will last longer and save you money in the long run.
