The simplest way to adorn your Shaker cabinetry is to use only knobs on all the cabinet doors and drawers. To achieve a classic or vintage look, circular glass or ceramic knobs are most appropriate. However, if you ’ re looking for a more updated, contemporary look, choose knobs in chrome, stainless steel, or other metallic material. To add more visual interest, square-shaped metal knobs like those pictured above directly complements the symmetrical rectangular design of the Shaker door style.
Choosing elaborately-designed pulls and knobs may cause your kitchen design to look somewhat jumbled. Take your cue from the kitchen above; simple bar pulls paired with square knobs reflect the straight lines of the Shaker style.
You can personalize the look to your kitchen design and style preferences by the thickness, size, and material of the hardware you choose.
For a more interesting take on the knob & pull combination, you may want to opt for cup-shaped bin pulls for your drawers. In addition to making drawers extremely easy to access, the unique shape will give your Shaker kitchen a bit of a vintage feel without doing much work! If you ’ re keen on the classic white kitchen style, adding bin pulls in brushed chrome or stainless steel is a great way to round out the look.
One of the most common choices of hardware for the Shaker cabinet style is the tubular bar pull. This relatively thin, round, and metallic cabinet pull is probably as simple as it gets. The straight line directly parallels the stiles and rails of the Shaker door design, creating a seamless, geometric look that is perfect for a more modern kitchen style.
