You may be thinking that appliance pulls are only useful for opening appliances with custom faces. (After all, their name mentions appliances right in it!)  You may be surprised to learn that appliance pulls can be used for many other types of cabinetry as well- and they should be.  In actuality, appliance pulls are just oversized cabinet handles, many of which are slightly stronger than standard handles so that they can be used for opening heavy appliance doors.  Still, these oversized pieces of cabinet hardware are ideal for most rooms (and especially kitchens) as they are an efficient and cost-effective way to make a dramatic style statement.

Let’s compare appliance handles to jewelry for a moment.  Much like oversized hoop earrings can dress up a plain outfit and can look fabulous even on faces of all sizes, so too appliance pulls can transform basic cabinetry into beautiful cabinetry.  Likewise, when someone with long fingers goes ring shopping, they may want to pick a wider ring style, to cover the vast area of their finger.  When choosing cabinet hardware for tall cabinet doors, gracefully elongated appliance pulls can better fill the space than standard-sized cabinet handles.

While appliance pulls cost a bit more than regular cabinet hardware, it is an investment that is well worthwhile.  Instead of refacing your cabinetry which can cost a fortune, you can instantly update the look of your space simply by adding appliance handles- or by integrating even a few appliance pulls with your existing cabinet hardware (just make sure you purchase items from the same brand and finish as your existing pieces so that they match well).

If you’ve never considered this option as a way to update the look of your space without spending a fortune, now is the time- you’ll be glad that you did!
