When to Choose Handles vs. Knobs ?

When to Choose a Handle and When a Knob?

Different types of cabinet handle profile work best for different applications:

• Knobs are ideal for smaller cabinet doors, wall cabinets, display cabinets and narrow drawers. Their compact size gives the furniture a subtle, elegant look.

• Handles provide a more comfortable grip, making them a great choice for wide or heavier drawers, base cabinets and tall cupboards.

• Hooks can carry the same design throughout your interior, creating a seamless look in the hallway, dressing room, bathroom or bedroom.

When combining different types of handle profile, it’s important to keep a common design element, such as the same shape, material or finish. This creates a cohesive interior, while allowing each piece to serve its own practical purpose.

TULIP Boise: Handles, Knobs and Hooks in One Design

The TULIP Boise collection makes it easy to coordinate handles, knobs and hooks in one cohesive style. The collection is available in metal finishes, including matt black and dark gold. Two differently shaped knobs let you choose between a softer, rounded look and a more distinctive design, while maintaining the cohesive character of the entire collection.

TULIP Cory: Metal and Wood for Different Types of Furniture

The TULIP Cory model stands out with its simple yet distinctive shape. Available in several lengths, it makes it easy to coordinate everything from smaller drawers to wide cabinet doors and tall cupboards.

The Boise and Cory collections can be combined through their shared use of black metal and natural oak, allowing you to create a consistent look throughout the interior. They work equally well in minimalist spaces and in interiors where the furniture handle profile is designed to complement natural materials.

TULIP Troy and Dunk: Design-Led Hooks and Handles as Part of the Interior

A hook doesn’t have to be purely functional. With its clean geometric shape, TULIP Troy becomes a distinctive design detail for furniture or walls. It is available in Black Brushed, Steel Grey and Champagne Bronze finishes.

For minimalist interiors, choose handles that sit as close to the surface of the cabinet door as possible. TULIP Dunk is a recessed handle installed directly into the door surface, creating a clean and understated look. It is available in Black, Gold and Brown finishes.
