What material should kitchen handles be made of?
For a forever stylish and industrial kitchen, incorporate solid metal into your space.

Metal adds durability and is essential for everyday items that are often pulled and pulled. Buster + Punch's cabinet hardware collections, cloth, cast, and linear, are made exclusively from solid metals, including steel, brass, gunmetal, black, welder's black, and in special cases, hardened steel. “We use the finest metals and everything is hand refined. Our cabinet hardware will outlast all of us,” says Massimo.
Cheaper aluminum and wood hardware are also available, although they may not be as durable. Also note that brass oxidizes over time and must be finished with a clear lacquer glaze. No matter what materials you use, try to create a cohesive feel throughout the room. If you have brass faucets in your kitchen, pair them with complementary finishes like brass handles and black hardware. “If you keep your cabinet hardware in one style, you can easily lift an entire house or space; you'll be amazed at the results,” says Massimo. Or consider fabric. Leather handles are a softer alternative that add a unique touch to a room because they feel good to the touch and age and wear beautifully over time.
How should I place the handles on my kitchen cabinets?
In terms of placement, for drawers smaller than 24 inches, center a single pull or knob. If your drawers are 24 inches or larger, you can add a second drawer. To best position cabinet knobs and handles, divide the drawer into thirds and place two knobs in the left and right thirds of the drawer.
Door-mounted cabinet knobs and handles are placed on the opposite side of the door hinge, typically 2 to 3 inches from the bottom corner of the door for upper cabinets. On base cabinets, the knobs are typically placed about 2 to 3 inches from the top corner of the door.
