Quick Style Update: Decorative Hardware
One simple and effective way to update the look of a piece of furniture, kitchen or bathroom cabinetry is by switching out the hardware. This little trick is often times overlooked, but can have significant impact! Think of hardware as "jewelery" for furniture and cabinets - it can take anything from ordinary to super chic, and requires little time or effort. I've rounded up some of my favorite decorative knobs, in addition to a few snapshots of spaces with "upgraded" hardware that really makes a difference. I'm planning on getting this dresser for the baby's nursery and want to change out the knobs to something a little more interesting and youthful! Have you swapped out your old hardware for something shiny and new?
Yes, I do agree, I think hardware can change the look of most everything. It can also be fun. I just found new hardware for the laundry room that says "WASH" How fun is that. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI love the fun hardware! It adds so much to a piece. I am inspired to change up the hardware on my dresser - it may be the facelift it needs!
ReplyDeleteMuch love,

I love that owl! I'm planning on re-doing a couple of mismatched file cabinets and unifying them with some pretty drawer pulls- thanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteI agree..sometimes a lit bit goes a long way..I often change hardware on different chest of drawers in my home..its the best, easiest and the most economical way of updating a chest of drawers/cabinet! xx meenal
