What to choose?

You know better than anyone what will look good with your cabinet fronts. We can help you by suggesting some design options and present characteristics of different handles.

A knob is mostly round in shape, a small handle. The most significant difference between pull and knob is that the second can be attached to a door with only one screw. It is also generally smaller than full handles, so it doesn’t take too much space of the cabinet surface due to its minimal size. However, it can be clearly visible and stand out if you choose a colour contrasting with the colour of the fronts. There are some types of design for which high contrast of colours is the best choice.

When you wonder what kind of handle is the best, it is worth mentioning that knobs require more effort to open the door. On the other hand, they don’t take as much space as long pull handles. So you can choose one type of handle or both for different parts of furniture. Especially if you have many cabinets and drawers in various sizes.

The physics behind IKEA cabinet knobs

Do you prefer to grab a round shape or pull a thin handle? IKEA cabinet knobs give you even more options. Some of them work more like a pull. It is especially true in the Hug knob case, which can be grabbed with only a few fingers and pulled with little effort.

There is some physics and biology behind opening doors with knobs and pulls. If the sideboard door is more or less on your hand level, it is easier to grab a vertical pull. If it is a hanging cabinet high above your head, you will probably prefer to grab a round knob. In that position, your hand and arm muscles prefer a vertical orientation. In effect, you don’t have to put so much effort to open the door. Considering all the above: if you prefer two types of handles in your kitchen it is advisable to choose knobs for hanging cabinets and pulls for those sideboards that are lower and nearer to your hands.

Although this is a more practical approach, people tend to choose knobs according to their taste and aesthetic preferences. You can always install a push-opener to make the door opening even easier. In that case, the choice of a pull or knob will be just a matter of aesthetics.

Choose IKEA cabinet knobs according to kitchen style

Knobs are generally perceived as more traditional as cabinet and drawer openers. It is true that round or ball-shaped handles, especially wooden ones, give furniture that vintage look. With exposed legs and classical decoration of the front, you can create a more traditional design.
However, we offer a variety of knob shapes and materials in our online shop. It means that you can use some of them to create a very modern and even futuristic look.

Before you order IKEA cabinet knobs, it is worth mentioning that you can choose them to match or to contrast the cabinet design. If you have more roundly shaped details in your furniture set, round handles will match them better. But maybe you prefer to mix circles and rectangles, soft and sharp appearance? In that case, rectangular knobs may look better and bring a more dynamic look to your kitchen.
