Brass Kitchen Knobs

Choosing Brass Kitchen Cabinet Knobs: Size and Finish

Knob diameter and finish do most of the work in how brass kitchen cabinet knobs read from across the room. Get the size wrong and knobs look lost on a full-size door or oversized on a small drawer front. Get the finish wrong and even solid brass hardware can clash with the rest of your kitchen. Start with your door and drawer sizes, then decide how much shine you want day to day.

• 1" to 1.25" knobs suit inset doors, smaller drawers, and minimalist cabinetry
• 1.25" to 1.5" knobs are the standard fit for most full-size kitchen doors and drawers
• Polished brass gives a bright, reflective finish that shows best under good kitchen lighting
• Satin brass kitchen knobs offer a softer sheen that hides fingerprints and fits most kitchen styles
• Unlacquered brass has no clear coat, so it develops a natural patina with handling over time

Matching Brass Knobs for Kitchen Cabinets with Pulls and Hardware

Knobs and pulls don't have to be the same product to match. Most kitchens use brass knobs for kitchen cabinets on doors and pulls on drawers, in the same finish, so the hardware reads as one decision rather than two separate purchases. Once you've settled on a finish for your knobs, the rest of the room's brass hardware follows the same logic.

• Standard drawers: brass cabinet hardware pulls sized to the width of the drawer face
• Wide drawers and island fronts: extra long drawer pulls keep the proportions balanced
• Prefer a fixed length: brushed brass cabinet pulls 7 inch fit most standard drawer fronts
• Swinging cabinet or pantry doors: a brass door stopper protects walls and trim in the same finish as your knobs
