Handles for kitchen cabinets

Types of kitchen handles: which one suits your style?

When designing a kitchen, the focus is often on colours, materials, and the layout of the spaces, but there is another important detail to consider: kitchen handles. They're more than just functional accessories; they're elements that can completely transform the room's appearance and enhance its comfort. Read on to explore the different types of handles for kitchen cabinets!

Modern and classic kitchen handles

A necessary preface: more and more kitchens are abandoning traditional handles in favour of 'handleless' or ‘recessed grip profile' solutions. While it's true that handleless kitchens offer a sleek and sophisticated aesthetic, practicality should be considered: using a push-pull mechanism to open a cabinet while holding a hot plate can be quite challenging. And furthermore, who's to say a kitchen cabinet with handles can't be equally stylish?

Every kitchen style has the perfect handle. If minimalism is your mantra, you can opt for recessed kitchen handles or handles incorporated into the door: they ensure clean-cut aesthetics, free from visual interruptions, while allowing you to open drawers and doors effortlessly. Another idea to enhance the overall look is to choose large vertical or horizontal handles, to be chosen in harmony with the appliances and the various modules.

Do you enjoy unmistakable style? For a kitchen with a vintage feel, such as our classic Madeleine kitchen, the ideal choice falls on cup handles or bridge handles.

Kitchen handle colours and materials

The colour and material of the handles also affect the final outcome. Any suggestions? Black handles are a trendy choice if you love contrasts, while brass finish handles illuminate the composition: observe, for instance, how in the Mia professional kitchen, the side handles – ideal for greater convenience – perfectly enhance the coloured furniture.
