Our kitchen has 55 knobs on drawers and cabinets. They can't be overly large and definitely not expensive. They don't have to match but be similar.

    Ikea has lots of kitchen knobs at very reasonable prices. Also, you might try Ebay or Hobby Lobby as well

    Could any of the old ones be salvaged and made more your style? Or is this an absolutely new build that doesn't have any old ones?

    If you have existing knobs, but they are the wrong color, I found great success in thoroughly cleaning and the using Rust-Oleum to revive cabinet hinges in brushed nickel to match all my new light fixtures, door knobs, etc. It was some work, but it looks great.

    Unfinished furniture store.....we had same issue. We need 52, bought them there and stained them cherry, like the cabinets. Easy peas and very inexpensive. Chris, Boston
  • It would be worth a trip to a Habitat ReStore to see what they have.

    Depending on the style of your kitchen, you can use spoons! Just drill your holes to line up with exsisting holes! They are very inexpensive at thrift stores.

    Home Depot has a number of Knobs around the dollar mark, but considering the price of any new major appliance $100-200 is not a lot to spend to freshen up your kitchen

    When I had a similar problem I bought some broom handles, but bamboo canes could be used, and sawed them into short length to suit the size knobs needed. Then drill two holes about half way into the rounded part of the "knobs". Line them up with the knob positions on the cupboards. Then from inside the cupboard screw the new knobs/handles in place. =^..^=

      I wonder what metal tubing like copper would cost. PVC pipe could BE SPRAY painted for a fun take using your technique.

    When we replaced our kitchen cabinet knobs, my husband went on EBay and got a real good deal!

    All the above are great ideas. But if you cannot afford to spend any money, then you should buy a can of spray paint and spray paint your existing cabinet knobs. You can paint them a hold accent color or a new metal finish. Having a new color/finish on the existing knobs will make a big impact.

    Check the phone book for a ReStore in your area. These architectural salvage places often have hardware for a fraction of what you night spend elsewhete. An idea to unify different shapes or deaigns might be spray paint in one color or in different shades of the same color. That w ay of you find several different styles they would still look as if they all belonged.

    Some great ideas above, in addition to painting them you could decorate the existing knobs if they fit your new scheme. Use wrapping paper with a design to contrast with your units. Cut it to size, either a paper with medallions or similar, use a craft glue to affix then seal with several coats of matt varnish. Good as new and very effective and cheap.
  • Try using wine corks u can even paint a pretty design on the top
