Handles and knobs to update everything from cabinets to kitchen units

If you want to refresh an old chest of drawers, a second-hand find or even your kitchen cupboards, new handles are an easy way to do so.

Whether you have a much-loved cabinet that you’d like to bring new life to, are eyeing up a second-hand piece of furniture but aren’t sure if it will tie-in with other aspects of your home, or have kitchen units that look a little dated, swapping out the handles is an easy way to update them.

Without the need for painting or sanding, it’s surprising how different a new set of handles can make a piece look. A sleek, modern handle can add a contemporary edge to an older piece, or pattern and colour can give a whole new look to a piece you thought you were tired of.

Here are stylish handles and knobs to update drawers, cabinets and kitchen cupboards.
