Acrylic Knobs: New Cabinet “Jewelry”

August 4, 2014 By Erin Spain 8 Comments

I’ve heard that hardware is like “jewelry” for your cabinets and drawers, and I totally agree. It’s funny how much of an impact a little detail like hardware can have on a room, but it’s all the little details that add up to create a certain feeling or look in a space. When we moved into our new house, our built-in cabinets in the family room had plain white painted knobs. Not awful, but definitely boring!

Cabinet Knobs Before

When I attended the Haven Conference, D. Lawless Hardware was kind enough to give us a $25 gift card to use on their site, so I rushed home and ordered some pretty diamond-cut acrylic knobs. (It was hard to choose, cause they have an awesome selection!)

I went with acrylic instead of glass since I have wild children bouncing around the house and I know they would’ve broken off the glass knobs in about 2.2 seconds, but the acrylic still has a high-end look and adds a little “bling.”

Give your cabinets a quick face lift by replacing the hardware!

Changing out cabinet hardware is an easy and inexpensive way to give your cabinets a quick face lift, and depending on the color or type of hardware you choose, it really has the potential to make a big impact, especially in a kitchen or larger space.

As for our family room, I’ve already whitewashed the fireplace, but there’s still a lot on my “to do list” for this room, like adding interest to the back of the built-in shelves, hanging art/creating a gallery wall, new pillows, etc. I have been working on it quite a bit over the past few days, so I’ll show you more very soon!

I’m thinking of ordering the same acrylic knobs with a gold base for the closet doors in our nursery.

Have you changed out any cabinet hardware lately? Where’s your favorite place to buy new knobs or pulls?

    You are so right about cabinet hardware being the “jewelry.” It is amazing how a change in hardware can change a entire look. I changed my son’s bathroom hardware when he was little to all Matchbox cars! He loved it, and it added a pop of color to all of the drawers. It wasn’t the kind of jewelry we girls like, but for a little boy it was perfect!

    Lawless Hardware uses customer receipts paper copies shredded for packing material. These poorly shredded strips are sharing customer information that was easy for me to read.

      If that’s true, I agree that would be a concern. That wasn’t the case when I received my package from them. I highly recommend that you contact them directly and address it with them. Thanks.
