Master Your Cabinet Hardware: A Guide to Knob Placement Styles
Master Your Cabinet Hardware: A Guide to Knob Placement Styles For homeowners and interior design enthusiasts, the seemingly small detail of cabinet knob placement can significantly influence a room's aesthetic. A recent viral video from NJ-based luxury interior designers, mimiandhill, offers a concise visual guide to three popular knob placement styles: Traditional, Classic, and Modern. The video, which has garnered over 100,000 views, features a standard brown wooden cabinet door and a single gold spherical knob. A hand meticulously demonstrates the precise location for the knob according to each style. For the "Traditional" look, the knob is placed on the stiles (vertical frame pieces) of the cabinet door, at the intersection of the stile and the bottom rail. The "Classic" placement moves the knob slightly inward, positioning it on the flat panel of the door, still aligned with the bottom rail. Finally, the "Modern" style places the knob higher up on the stile, typically aligned with the top of the bottom rail or slightly above it, creating a cleaner, more minimalist appearance. This practical demonstration highlights how subtle shifts in hardware placement can dramatically alter the perception of cabinetry, offering valuable insights for anyone undertaking kitchen or bathroom design projects.
