Cabinet hardware serves a very important function, but it is also considered the jewelry of a space. Instead of just using serviceable but plain ceramic or metal round knobs and pulls, consider adding a little style and sparkle to your cabinets. The right pulls, like the right earrings or necklace, will light up the space. Here are some of my favorite drawer pulls.

Vintage-style glass drawer pulls

Vintage style is back in a big way and glass pulls are the perfect way to add some laid back sparkle to your cabinetry. Genuine vintage pulls are readily available, as are reproduction ones that hold all the same appeal at extremely reasonable prices.

Pomegranate knobs by Du Verre Hardware

The work of metalsmith Heinz Pfleger is the inspiration for these Pomegranate knobs by Du Verre Hardware. The detail of these knobs, which was inspired by nature, ads an elegant detail to the simple round or square forms of the pulls themselves. Made from environmentally friendly recycled aluminum, the knobs are finished to look like Oil Rubbed Bronze or Satin Nickel.
