How to choose the perfect handles for furniture fronts?
Choosing the right handles for furniture fronts is a key element that affects the final appearance and functionality of your furniture. Handles play both a practical and aesthetic role, and their selection should depend on the style of the interior, individual preferences and the type of fronts. In this post we will look at three sub-popular types of handles: classic, tip-on and milled handles. Each of these options has its own unique advantages that can influence the final choice.
1. Classic handles
Classic handles are the most recognizable and popular type that have been used for years. This group includes knobs, handles and various other models mounted on the surface of fronts. Classic handles are versatile and are available in a variety of styles - from simple, minimalist shapes to more ornate ones suitable for rustic or vintage interiors.
What are the advantages of classic handles?
- Aesthetics and variety - handles of this type are available in many styles, materials and colors.
- Easy installation and replacement - classic handles can be easily replaced, so you can quickly refresh the look of your furniture.
- Functionality - large handles, such as handles, are convenient for everyday use, especially in the kitchen or bathroom.
When is it worth choosing classic handles?
Classic handles will work well in any interior - both modern and traditional. Their versatility makes them easy to adapt to changing trends and preferences, without having to replace entire furniture fronts.
2. Tip-On system
Tip-On is a modern mechanism that allows you to open furniture fronts by gently pressing the surface. This innovative system eliminates the need for traditional handles, allowing you to create smooth, minimalist fronts without unnecessary elements.
What are the advantages of the Tip-on system?
- Aesthetics and minimalism - the lack of visible handles makes furniture fronts look modern and elegant. The Tip-On system fits in perfectly with minimalist trends.
- Ease of cleaning - smooth fronts without handles are easier to clean, which is especially important in the kitchen or bathroom, where furniture is often exposed to dirt.
- Functionality - the touch opening system is very convenient and intuitive. It is ideal for places where hands may be busy, such as the kitchen.
When is it worth choosing the Tip-on system?
Tip-On system is the ideal solution for those who appreciate modern design and simplicity. It fits perfectly in minimalist or industrial style interiors, where every detail matters. It is also a great option for small spaces, as the lack of protruding handles optically enlarges the room.
3. Milled handles
Milled handles are a unique solution that combines functionality with aesthetics. In this type of handles, the subtle recess for the fingers is carefully milled directly into the furniture fronts, which eliminates the need to install additional components, creating a harmonious and minimalist whole. Främre offers several types of milled handles that can be customized. What's more, these cabinet handles are extremely versatile, as they can be made in both single-color lacquered fronts and natural veneers, allowing for complete personalization.
Handle is a harmonious combination of the smooth surface of the front with a precisely milled handle, centrally located, with a length of 15 cm. The handle has rounded inner corners, which adds functionality. This solution makes the furniture look minimalist, but at the same time maintains the convenience of use.
What are the advantages of Handle handles?
- Simplicity - the subtle molding does not dominate, but gently emphasizes the design of the front.
- Functionality - this handle provides easy opening, and rounded edges make it pleasant to use.
Handrail is a milled handle that extends along the entire length of the front. It is distinguished by its extraordinary functionality, as it allows comfortable opening across the entire width of the front, which ensures ease of use and maximum comfort.
What are the advantages of Handrail milled handles?
- Complete integration with the front - the handle is an integral part of the furniture, which gives it a consistent appearance.
- Convenience of use - the long handle ensures free and convenient opening of cabinets.
Hidden Handle is a discreet solution, in which the handle is hidden and invisible from the outside. It is placed along the entire length of the front, and the handle, which is precisely cut at a 45-degree angle, allows convenient opening. Thanks to this, the furniture fronts maintain a minimalist aesthetic.
What are the advantages of Hidden Handle handles?
- Invisibility - the handle is hidden, which gives the fronts a smooth and modern look.
- Ideal for upper cabinets - this solution is great for kitchen cabinets, especially those mounted higher up, where design and functionality must go hand in hand.
When is it worth choosing? Milled handles are extremely durable and easy to keep clean. Their design, integrated with the front, eliminates protrusions, which not only increases durability, but also makes it easier to keep the furniture clean on a daily basis.
Summary: how to choose handles for furniture fronts?
The choice of handles for furniture fronts depends on style, functionality and personal preferences. Whether you opt for classic handles, the Tip-On system or modern milled handles, remember that properly selected details can transform the look of your furniture and the entire interior.
