Everyone Asks Where I Find Cool Cabinet Hardware. These Are My Go-To Sources

If you want to cast a wide net for pulls, knobs, and handles, go with Etsy. It’s a treasure trove of handmade, vintage, and thrifted finds. You will have to dig around to find what you want, but the hunt is part of the fun. “I bought my Art Deco-inspired kitchen pulls from Etsy, and they upgraded my plywood doors significantly,” Liao says. “You need to be patient while shopping on Etsy, but there are so many cool pieces here!”

For small doors that require more petite hardware, check out Zara Home. “This is one of the first spots I go to when I need budget-friendly hardware because the designs are cute and the prices are super affordable,” Liao says. “When I had an IKEA vertical dresser, I inserted my own knobs from Zara Home, and it turned a $50 dresser into a $250 dresser. I love these whimsical balloon knobs that Zara has right now and have noticed a lot of influencers using them in their children’s rooms for a touch of playfulness!”

Based in London, this British brand makes high-end, solid-metal architectural hardware and lighting. The pieces look sturdy and expensive, but not totally out of reach for shoppers. You can find hardware for under $100, like these knobs.

If you're not familiar with Perigold, allow us to introduce you: It's under the Wayfair umbrella (along with Birch Lane and AllModern), but unlike some of its siblings, Perigold is skewed a bit more luxurious. In fact, it's designed to bring formerly trade-only brands to people with excellent taste who want to cut out the middleman (the designer). This online marketplace sells everything, including furniture, decor, appliances, and, yes, cabinet hardware.

West Elm is basically synonymous with midcentury modern, and its signature look extends to pretty much every item on the shelves, including the hardware. You may be wondering what midcentury-inspired hardware would even look like, and we're happy to spell it out: Think minimal extravagance, simple shapes, and muted metal finishes.

Think of Rejuvenation as the retailer making traditionalism very cool. It's timeless in all the right ways, so expect sleek and elegant designs. All of the hardware is on the simpler side, but it boasts that undeniable gloss that plenty of design enthusiasts and we love.

If you're after more charming, whimsical pieces, Anthropologie is for you. Even the more demure pieces made entirely of metal feature a funky shape that will definitely garner attention from your guests. Plus, the prices are affordable!

Of course, Amazon is on our list. The online retailer sells, well, everything. When it comes to hardware, there are plenty of brands to consider, from luxury to affordable, so no matter what you're looking for, you'll surely find it here—as long as you're patient and willing to sift through a lot of products. Just make sure you sign up for a Prime membership before placing your order. That way, you can snag your order within two days with free shipping.

Like Amazon, Wayfair sells several different kitchen hardware brands, including one of our favorites, Emtek. The brand is known for its high-quality design and diverse range of styles. Though you won't be able to find Emtek's full selection of styles on Wayfair, it's a good place to start as you consider your choices.

We couldn't produce a list of the top hot spots to shop for kitchen essentials without mentioning Pottery Barn. Though there may not be hundreds of options here, there are more than enough to create a beautiful, gleaming kitchen. You'll find plenty of muted metals in classic, traditional shapes.

Think of Crate & Barrel's hardware offerings like Pottery Barn's but stepped up a notch. There are quite a few traditional shapes with a funkier, more attention-grabbing edge. Take, for instance, this forged brushed brass cabinet pull that almost looks like the mold of your hand when you reach to turn a doorknob.

Birch Lane's design ethos skews traditional vibes below the Mason Dixon. You won't find anything supremely whimsical or fanciful here, but if you're looking for easy and charming, Birch Lane is a good place to start your search.
