Cabinet knobs are a standard style of cabinet hardware. This type of hardware is secured to cabinet doors and drawers at a single point and allows them to be opened seamlessly. There is a tremendous number of selections available under the cabinet knobs category, so you can customize your cabinetry.
Selecting cabinet hardware is a key component in the cabinet design process. Especially in crafting cabinets that reflect your personal style and aid in the daily use of your drawers and cabinets for easy access to your belongings. Cabinet knobs are an excellent choice. The wide range of styles and shades makes them a very versatile option. Plus, knobs don’t take up a lot of space on the cabinet or drawer face, which is perfect for creating a minimalistic yet chic look and feel. Cabinet knobs are also a great ergonomic choice, they fit easily in your hand and work smoothly to open both drawers and cabinet doors alike.
There are a plethora of cabinet knob styles available. From ceramic to bronze and nickel cabinet knobs, CliqStudios designers can recommend a wide variety of options for you to choose from to bring your perfect cabinet design to life.
When making a selection, there are a few variables to consider. Primarily, you’ll need to keep in mind the style and finish of the cabinets you’ve chosen, as you’ll want the hardware to complement that nicely. You should also consider if any hinges are visible. If so, picking knobs with the same finish as those exposed hinges is a clever idea. This’ll create a cohesive design.
The overall cost of your specific cabinet knobs will vary depending on a few key factors. The selected hardware finish, knob style, as well as the volume of the order itself will all affect the final price that you’ll pay. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from as low as $2 per knob to as high as $100 per knob. If you talk to a CliqStudios designer, they can give you a more precise estimate based on the cabinet knob styles and finishes you are the most interested in incorporating in your next project, whether it be a sleek and modern or rustic farmhouse design.
Knobs are commonly installed in the center of the drawer or cabinet face. Plus, cabinet knobs are typically placed opposite cabinet hinges. The exact placement of each knob will vary depending on the type of kitchen cabinet, whether wall or base. For example, a wall cabinet knob should be placed 2-1/2” to 3” from the bottom corner of the door. On the other hand, a wall cabinet will have hardware installed 2-1/2” to 3” from the upper corner of the door. Of course, the exact placement of your kitchen cabinet knobs will depend on the specific cabinet you have in your home.
Cabinet knobs are usually installed using a single screw, likely round or circular in shape. The precise installation steps will vary however depending on the shape of the knob selected. For instance, a traditional round cabinet knob will be installed differently than a square knob. The material chosen may also affect the installation process, from stainless steel to ceramic cabinet knobs. If you run into any issues or have questions regarding this process, please refer to the installation how-to videos on the CliqStudios website.

You can absolutely add a fresh coat of paint to cabinet knobs. Simply by painting these pieces of hardware, a space can be fully transformed. This is a great option if you like the current style of knobs installed and just want to switch up the finish. For example, if you currently have brushed nickel cabinet knobs and apply a coat of white paint, a bright and airy look and feel is created. It is a very cost-effective way to make a significant difference in a space visually. On the opposite end of the spectrum, to create a more luxurious, chic look and feel within a space, painting cabinet knobs brass or gold is a terrific choice.
To clean cabinet knobs effectively, there are a few things you can do. First, you’ll want to fill a bucket with warm water and add vinegar as well as mild dish soap in with the water. You should soak the hardware itself in this mixture for a decent amount of time, about 30 minutes.
After that, if there are still spots you would like to clean further, then you can rinse the knobs off with water and use a soft sponge or cloth to wipe to finish the process. Once you’ve done this, your cabinet knobs should look as good as new.

Time and money are your two biggest ‘costs’ during a kitchen remodel. With such a big investment, it’s a good idea to see how you can save money in the process. Every kitchen has different needs, and that includes countertops. More affordable countertops can often be the best choice based on needs and budget.
Most homeowners only remodel their kitchen once in a lifetime. For this very reason, it’s important to get it right the first time. The fact is that some upgrades are more beneficial than others. Some ‘fluffy’ upgrades are expensive with not as much pay off and others are more economical while solving basic functional problems.
