Kitchen Design: Top Handle Picks
Handles are the finishing touch in any kitchen. Whether the style of your project is bold or neutral, modern or traditional, this guide explores our top handle picks and the products they pair perfectly with, across a range of kitchen styles.
1. Midnight Blue: Striking Combinations
We’ve picked the Este Brushed Gold Brass Pull handle as the perfect finishing touch for the midnight blue trend, thanks to the minimalist design, linear edges and stand out gold finish. If you’re looking for a darker finish, we recommend the new Big Graf handle and knob, which team well with other dark kitchen colour schemes in blues, greens, greys and earthy browns.
As the main focal point of a kitchen, the kitchen cabinets play a huge part in defining the finish of a living space. We recommend the Midnight Blue Skye Slab door, from our Aspekt range – with a range of matching accessories available, for a flawless finish.
If you are opting for darker cabinetry, consider lifting the design with a lighter finished worktop. The Chiffon White Quartz worktop is a great choice, providing a bright and modern finish. Quartz worktops are durable and designer friendly. Our Apollo Quartz is an engineered stone made from 93% quartz crystals and 7% polymer resin, chic and robust.
2. Monochrome Kitchen: The Classic Union
Black and white is a staple in monochrome design with bold, contemporary black handles and knobs providing the perfect contrast against white cabinets to create a soft yet strong monochrome finish.
Our handle pick for the monochrome trend is the Land Knob in matt black. This beautiful knob, with matching cup pull handle, is versatile and complements any style but plays to the strengths of monochrome design, in creating a subtle statement.
The Land handle enhances other black design elements, especially worktops. We recommend the stunning black granite Minerva worktop, which has been manufactured to a full 25 mm thickness with colour throughout for depth in design.
These handle and worktop options are ideal with a white cabinet design. The Gloss Ice White Skye Doors in our Aspekt range are the ideal choice for monochrome design and come covered by a 6-year Häfele Lifetime Guarantee.*
3. Hello Bright Neutrals!
Many homeowners are now choosing a warmer colour base and opting for neutral tones to bring a sense of tranquillity to their living space. Stainless steel effect handles balance all neutral combinations, and our product pick here is the popular Lewis Bow handle, available in a range of lengths and hole sizes.
The Aspekt Hampstead Stone Grey Door provides the perfect combination of grey colouring and neutral tones for cabinetry, and the ideal base for complementary worktops, splashbacks, and handles.
The Maia Beige Sparkle Solid Surface worktop is a great option for designer and homeowner alike. The smooth surface does not allow liquids to penetrate, making it easy to clean and maintaining its quality. You can also rest assured of the quality when fitting, thanks to the 10-year manufacturer’s warranty and FIRA certification. The perfect splashback pairing for this resilient worktop is AluSplash in the beautiful Metallic Latte; to amalgamate a variety of neutral shades.
