What are the Types of Handles for Storage Cabinets and How to Choose Them?

Have you ever been attracted by the exquisite and eye-catching handles on the cabinet door? Many people believe that the color scheme of the panels is the key to determining the overall beauty of the wardrobe or woodworking cabinet design. However, in fact, the "handles" is also one of the key points of the beauty of the shaped storage cabinet. At present, the main types of opening design for storage cabinets are divided into "accessory handles" and "invisible handles". They are not only related to the use experience but also affect the aesthetic degree of the cabinet body. It is important to choose according to the style of each space and the owner's usual habits.

1. Types of Cabinet Handles

1) Embedded handle

Since this kind of cabinet handle is embedded into the cabinet body, it has a similar usage experience to the handleless design. It is the style that is least likely to cause collisions and affect walking lines in the design with handles. The material is mainly metal such as iron, stainless steel, etc., and the shape is diverse, such as square, round, or name card.

2) Single-hole handle

This type of handle is suitable for cabinets with smaller surface area or drawer-style storage cabinets. If you are worried that the handle will not match well, you can also choose smaller single-hole handles to bring a visually appealing and not too eye-catching decoration.

3) Double-hole handle

The double-hole cabinet handle is commonly used in large cabinets such as wardrobes and shoe cabinets that are vertical and towering. The whole handle can be tightly held, which makes it easy to open the door without slipping and convenient to apply force. The materials of this type are diverse with changes in metal and wooden grips, and they are loved by many homeowners.

2. Common Materials of Cabinet Handles

1) Metal handle

The common metal handles are round buckle type, grip type, and name card type. There are many styles and environmental factors need to be considered when selecting. In environments that are prone to dampness such as bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces, it is recommended to choose materials with rust prevention effect to ensure durability. They are commonly used in designs such as neo-classical, Nordic style, American style, and modern style. Different metal materials can bring out different luxury atmospheres. For example, copper handles matched with wooden door panels can transmit the strong vintage flavor; stainless steel name card handles matched with system cabinet door panels are modern and practical; rose gold handles matched with simple and pure white system cabinets can immediately create a low-key and delicate Nordic style.

2) Leather handle

The use of leather-styled handles is smooth and comfortable, and there is no strong discomfort or pulling of clothes when colliding. Although its usage rate is not as widespread as metal handles, its vibrant style often becomes the design focus that distinguishes it from other residences. Its strong style is quite suitable for homeowners who like low-key but value taste. It can match with personalized but not too eye-catching shaped storage cabinets in simple Nordic style and minimalist style.

3) Wooden handle

The wooden cabinet handle is comfortable to touch, and the cylindrical single-handle design is loved by many homeowners. However, it also needs to pay attention to the influence of dampness environment factors. They are commonly matched with pure white cabinet bodies to present a refreshing Nordic style or MUJI-style feeling. In rooms with country style, grip-style wooden handles are often used to set off a warm atmosphere for the entire room.
