Dresser Drawer Pulls

Adding new dresser drawer pulls is one easy way to update the look of your dresser or other bedroom furniture. Buying new furniture can be expensive, but by updating it you can make it feel fresh and different.
Dresser Drawer Pulls Can Update Your Furniture
This is especially the case if you have solid wood furniture or well constructed furniture. Over time it can start to look out of date, but it may still be in great shape. Buying and installing new dresser drawer pulls and knobs is one easy way to give it a fresh, new look.
If you really want it to look like a brand new piece of furniture consider sanding and re-staining solid wood furniture with a different finish. Then add the new dresser drawer handles. This is a much bigger project, but it will feel like you have new furniture.
Choosing Dresser Drawer Pulls
When it comes to dresser drawer pulls you can either look through selections of furniture pulls or you can search through regular bathroom or kitchen cabinet knobs and pulls. It all depends on the look and functionality you want from this hardware. If you want a traditional style dresser drawer pull or something specific like a Victorian look you may want to search more specifically for furniture pulls.

If you have big, heavy drawers you probably want to go with pulls or handles instead of knobs as they may feel more secure and easy to use. But if you have light or easy to slide drawers and you like the look of glass or crystal cabinet knobs you may choose this smaller type of cabinet knob instead as they can add a distinct look to your furniture.
When updating your dresser drawer pulls you may need to use cabinet backplates to cover existing holes, unless you choose a drop pull or other drawer pull that has a sort of backplate already attached.
When choosing the finish for your furniture knobs and furniture pulls try to keep to a theme within the house, for instance if you have oil rubbed bronze cabinet hardware in the kitchen you probably don’t want shiny, polished brass dresser drawer pulls. You don’t necessarily need to keep the exact same finish, but at least stick to a basic style and color theme to keep the look in your home cohesive.
Little details can make a big difference in the look and feel of your home. Choosing specific cabinet knobs and dresser drawer pulls to fit your taste can make your home feel more personal and less generic.
