Cabinet Knobs
About
Knobs are small hardware pieces that attach to the face of a cabinet door or drawer. They are usually round, square, or decorative and are grasped with one or two fingers. Knobs are ideal for smaller or lighter doors and add charm and detail to traditional, cottage, or classic kitchens. They work well when you want subtle, non-intrusive hardware.
Best Uses for Cabinet Knobs
