Label your drawers
Find a place for everything with the whimsical Kitchen I.D. series by Notting Hill. A practical yet quirky decorative hardware option, these antique pewter pulls bear headings like “Silverware,” “Cutlery,” “Pots & Pans” and “Glasses.” You can even conquer the hardest drawer of all—the junk drawer—with the tongue-in-cheek “Pieces of String Too Short To Keep” pull.
 

Decorate with deco
Make a blast with post-atomic age-inspired hardware by Atlas Homewares. The Modernist Collection revives the stylistic nuances of the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s in a three-style line-up available in brushed nickel, matte black and polished chrome. Choose from Optimism, clear acrylic pulls on a stainless base; Centinel, oversized solid and cut-out square knobs and linear pulls; and Modernist (pictured), sharp-edged obtuse shapes with cut-outs and graphic lines.
 

Lighten your touch
Eliminate slammed doors from your kitchen with BLUMOTION by Blum. Though the product was introduced for drawer applications in 2001, this year saw BLUMOTION for doors. The unique product senses how hard the cabinet door is being shut and adjusts the resistance to bring them to a gentle halt.
 

Stick with this
Invite nature indoors with the Lodge & Nature Series by Notting Hill. Steering clear of the typical leaf-like forms, these truer-than-true pieces look so authentic you may expect them to snap. But thanks to metals like antique brass, pewter and copper, these knobs and pulls are as durable as they are beautiful.
