Should I add hardware to these white oak cabinets?

They’re so pretty! I like the look of hardware so I would add them in black

I would go with silver or brushed nickel knobs on the cabinets, and a matching very simple handle on the drawers.

Definitely add hardware! It will prevent oil/grease deposits from your fingers. Ask me how I know....

You can't go wrong with either black or brushed nickel hardware. Black for contrast; brushed nickel to make your hardware less conspicuous.

I would add hardware as it helps to keep your cabinets cleaner. As for color, I would use black for the contrast but as you are wanting to keep them as crisp as possible the silver would probably be better as they wouldn't be as obvious. Either way keep them simple.

Stainless will give a simpler, classic look. Black will add a punch. Will you get tired of the black after a while? Go with the one that you will want for the long term. You could also do crystal or porcelain knobs if you want something different.

Yes to the knobs or handles! My hubby and I had a big argument over that issue - so I picked my battles and didn't add them. Can't tell you how many broken nails and stubbed fingers I've gotten. (Of course, he doesn't cook.) I would shop (several places) and buy one of each of the 3 I like best. Bring them home and try them out in the space before you invest in buying them for all the cabinets.

Because of your light counter tops and walls, I would go with brushed nickel/stainless hardware so there wouldn't be such a contrast. The black might be too stark against your kitchen cabinets and counter tops. The hardware should compliment the cabinets---not overtake them. Good luck!

Glass knobs would look good. Wouldn't overpower the cabinets. I personally would go with bushed nickle to match the stainless appliances and make it all cohesive.

They look amazing. I love having hardware on my cabinets. I'd go with black.

I’ve found these knobs that I think are pretty so far! 😃

DLawless.com has lots of pretty hardware.

Your cabinets came out beautiful.

I would add a knob so that you do not continually pull on the bottom of the doors as this will eventually cause the area to wear and show.

In my old house I had depression glass handles and knobs that I bought online. Gorgeous makeover on your cabinets. The glass is still good after 20 years in case you wondered.

I’m voting for knobs! I’ve often read that knobs are the “jewelry “ for your cabinets.

Id also opt to pick up a few and see how you like them in your kitchen. They are the one thing you’ll see and touch every single day. Make sure they are heavy enough and feel good in your hands.

Beautiful job job on the cabinets!

Hi Lauren. Hardware, while pretty, also serves a purpose: ease in opening a drawer/cabinet. If you don't have any problems getting into your cabinets and you like the clean look of the cabinetry, leave it off. I have an antique bookcase that has no pulls on the doors. Sometimes it just looks right not to have a piece (even a row of cabinets) without hardware. I say, leave them off.

Yes. I love hardware on the cabinets. It really makes them look better

Always love a great piece of hardware! Best of luck if you decide to try some.

IMO knobs or handles on kitchen cabinets protects them from food residue or grease that may be on fingers and hands. This helps to maintain the finish on the wood. Hardware can easily be taken off and cleaned if necessary, or replaced if a different style is desired.

High Lauren,

Use them for a while and then decide if they need them and where they need them!

I think they look awesome they way they are
