Why I love knurled handles
It wasn’t until recently that I started seeing knurled handles everywhere – kitchen cabinets, doors, drawers… you name it. I quickly fell in love with these beautifully detailed handles and have been dreaming about adding these all over the house. I mean… can you blame me? These stunning handles are much more than standard handles, they are elegant, unique and sleek handles that perfectly balance aesthetics and function.
Maybe you’ve never seen these handles. Maybe you don’t feel so strongly about them as I do. That’s fine. Everyone is allowed to like different things, but right now, knurled handles are taking over my thoughts. So, I felt like talking about them. The question now is… why do I like these so much?
Just have a look for yourself. After quickly browsing Ironmongery Experts, I found a variety of UK brands that make stunning knurled handles. From matte black knurled lever handles by Frelan Hardware to satin brass knurled knobs by Carlisle Brass – the choices are endless!
1. Modern design
Knurled handles are a great choice for any contemporary property looking for modern and elegant handles. Plus, you can use these anywhere in your home, from your kitchen and living room to your bedroom and office. No matter the space, these will fit right in.
2. Unique look
These handles feature a diamond-patterned texture with vertical and horizontal or crossing lines on the surface of the door handle Not only does this give the handle a one-of-a-kind look but also, due to its design, it offers extra grip and, thus prevents hand slippage.
3. Add texture
Did you know that texture is one of the most important elements of interior design? As this article on Luxury Lifestyle Magazine states, “texture can elevate a space and add a sense of depth, weight and tone to a room”. Texture can be added everywhere and anywhere in a space, from walls to floors and even on doors, such as textured door handles. Knurled handles are great at adding small texture details in your home.
Even though knurled handles are my favourite, door handles, in general, are fantastic and don’t have to be a boring addition to a room. As Dungarees and Donuts says “Door handles come in a variety of styles, finishes and designs, so there will always be something to suit your interiors. So, stop looking at door handles as simply functional methods of opening and closing your kitchen cabinets.”
