Easy Redecorating Tip: Change the Cabinet Knobs
By:Terry Baeseman
Can cabinet knobs are a cheap and easy way to refreshing a tired room, or put finishing touches on a redecorated kitchen or bathroom. It is often not even considered by many who redecorate on their own, but consider a cabinet or fixture with a new cabinet knob before thinking of throwing it out. You may be surprised at the results.
There is a wide variety of cabinet knobs. There are kitchen cabinet knobs, bathroom cabinet knobs, and specialty cabinet knobs. These cabinet knobs can be made of metal, plastic, ceramic, wood, woodlice material, resin, glass, and several other mediums. They also come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Just to name a few include round, oblong, square, faceted, or in the shape of fruit, animals, and other things found in the world we live.
Choosing the type of cabinet knob is an important step in the process. You definitely do not want to put a large cabinet’s knob on the cabinet of a small room, such as a powder room. You also do not want to put a specialty knob in the shape of food, or with types of food on the face of the knob unless you have the theme in the rest of the room. By choosing the wrong cabinet knob, the refreshed look will not appear and an almost comical or horrendous decorating issue will arise.
Powder rooms are usually fairly small or compact. The appropriate bathroom cabinet knob would probably be small, round or square, and match the fixtures and faucet. A kitchen is similar. Smaller kitchens need smaller cabinet knobs, while larger kitchens can use the larger knobs.
Make sure the cabinet knobs follow the theme of the room. A kitchen with steel appliances should have similar cabinet knobs. A bathroom decorated with dolphins could use dolphin shaped cabinet knobs perfectly. It is important to remember this when purchasing the cabinet knobs.
The installation of cabinet knobs for kitchens and bathrooms is really easy. Make sure your new cabinet knob is going to be a good fit by taking one of the original cabinet knobs off and seeing how they are attached. Most cabinet knobs are normally held in place with one or more screws depending on the size of the knob. Try to keep the new cabinet knob consistent so you do not have to fill in holes or create new ones. To uninstall a cabinet knob, simply unscrew the original screw from the inside of the door that is holding the cabinet knob on. To install the new cabinet knob, simply place the new knob to the hole and screw it into place. If the new cabinet knob comes with screws use them. This will ensure a proper fit which will keep the knob in place and help it last much longer.
Changing the cabinet knobs in kitchens and bathrooms can lower the price of any redecorating job. A fresh coat of paint and new cabinet knobs on the cabinets can make them seem like new. If you like to decorate for each holiday or season, this is also an easy way to give a little extra decoration. Change out cabinet knobs with holiday specialty knobs. It is a fun and inexpensive way to redecorate and have fun during the holidays.
