Often times, classic, timeless style is thrown to
the wayside for something sleek, modern and simple. This trend is most
obvious in cabinet hardware. Smooth chrome knobs sparkle next to plain,
yet striking bar pulls of the same caliber making your kitchen seem
almost sterile. It is time to breathe some warmth and life into the
heart of your home with classic cabinet knobs and drawer pulls. Besides
choosing more decorative knobs for your cabinets and furniture to spice
up the look you can also use back plates. Made to match the knob or
pull backplates give the hardware you have chosen a little bit of oomph
and a more classic appeal.
Not only do they make your knobs and pulls look better they also
reinforce the drawer or cabinet they are attached to as well as cover
up holes from previous hardware. From the dresser of our childhood to
the cabinets in that little apartment in Paris, a back plate is full of
classic style that appeals to all of us. Whether it is finished in
antique brass or brushed nickel, made of hand painted porcelain or soft
wood the vintage, classic beauty of a backplate is not easy to
replicate. They give your cabinets, drawers and furniture an enduring
appeal. After all great style of any age turns heads of any age.
