When trying to spruce up the appearance of this most important room, it’s the little details that will distinguish and tie your kitchen decor together. All it takes is a little creativity and the ability to unscrew your old knobs and handles from your kitchen cabinets and drawers.
Depending on the color of your cabinets and drawers as well as the look you are trying to achieve, you can choose from a vast array of interesting and sometimes quite exotic hardware. Kolson has a wide variety of kitchen hardware from the top manufacturers in the industry. Amongst the suppliers are Baldwin, Rohl, Rocky Mountain and Top Knob.
