Quick Style Update: Decorative Hardware

One simple and effective way to update the look of a piece of furniture, kitchen or bathroom cabinetry is by switching out the hardware. This little trick is often times overlooked, but can have significant impact! Think of hardware as "jewelery" for furniture and cabinets - it can take anything from ordinary to super chic, and requires little time or effort. I've rounded up some of my favorite decorative knobs, in addition to a few snapshots of spaces with "upgraded" hardware that really makes a difference. I'm planning on getting this dresser for the baby's nursery and want to change out the knobs to something a little more interesting and youthful! Have you swapped out your old hardware for something shiny and new?

  1. Yes, I do agree, I think hardware can change the look of most everything. It can also be fun. I just found new hardware for the laundry room that says "WASH" How fun is that. Hugs, Marty
