The Best Sources for Inexpensive Hardware to Revamp Your Cabinets and Furniture
When it comes to updating your old furniture, a little change goes a long way. Case in point: upgraded knobs and pulls. Even though most handles are well, hand-sized, these petite fixtures still manage to offer a ton of design potential no matter where you use them. Working with a colorless kitchen but can’t afford to paint? Switch out all of your standard cabinet knobs with splashier ones and see what happens. Sick of looking at your dated bedroom dresser but desperate for the storage? Nothing a couple of cool new drawer pulls can’t fix.
Thankfully, the web is brimming with affordable and stylish hardware offerings; many of which cost less than ten bucks a pop. Read ahead for a few of our favorite places to score a fresh new set of knobs and pulls for your stuff, without breaking your bank account.
