Choosing the right handles is a small but all-important decision that will transform your space. Finding the perfect finishing touch for your furniture is easy with our latest collection, comprising of 199 options in a wide variety of colours, styles, and finishes. So, whether you want your handles to be the star of the show or subtle and seamless, we can help guide you on what will work best in your space.
Although our handles can be categorised into “Modern” or “Traditional” it’s paramount that you don’t look at them as a standalone item or make a rushed decision on your hardware at the end of your project. It’s important to see how all the elements of your new space will work together before any work commences, contemporary fittings can be placed in traditional settings and vice versa to add contrast to a design.
When designing your new space, we suggest putting together a physical Pinterest style mood board to visualise your new palette. For a Kitchen, we would suggest layering samples of your kitchen door(s) of choice, door handle(s), worktop, tiles or splashback, flooring, a paint swatch for your wall colour choice and any key accessories that you want to include. This will help bring your retailer’s digital design to life and more importantly save you from any costly decisions.
Our standard handle collection is categorised into 5 main colourways: Black, Silver, Brass, Copper & Oak. Within each colourway there’s a plethora of finishes giving you endless opportunities for your furniture from luxurious satin brass and polished chrome to the neutral warmth of brushed nickel or the stark contrast of matte black.
Mix metals within your design for a contemporary edge. Winslow in Taupe Grey & Willow pictured below, is paired with Chrome cups & knobs and a contrasting satin brass hot water tap, further complimented by the brass accents on the range cooker for a modern twist on an otherwise typically traditional kitchen.

With 8 types of handles you won’t be short on styles to choose from. Embrace diverse design options with round or square knobs; shapely cups and textured bar handles to name a few. If you wish to opt for something ultra-modern, our handleless rail system will be perfect for you. Remember you aren’t limited to one choice, mix and match your handle types to add interest to your space like we’ve done below.

Our cup handles work well in more traditional settings and come in either a semi-curved or a projected straight bar shape with varying-sized back plates. Curved handles are a great way to provide contrast to the linear lines of kitchen doors and worktops. Cups are usually selected when opting for a more traditional design and a shaker-style door, like Wakefield or Winslow.

Our knobs come in a variety of shapes and finishes to compliment the style of any space from Country Chic to Sleek Serenity. A real multitasker, they can be paired with a variety of other handle styles such as cups and bar handles to create a harmonious flow. Knobs work great on shaker-style doors, from more modern designs like Clifden and Dawson to more traditional styles like Belgravia and Madison.
