FAQ - Frequently asked questions
Do all kitchen handles have to match?
Yes, in most cases, especially if the kitchen is open-plan. This creates a pleasing visual unity. However, it is possible to subtly vary between high and low handles.
Should handles be chosen before or after appliances?
If your fixtures are already in place, match the handles to them. If you're starting from scratch, choose at the same time to create a coherent ambience from the outset.
Do gold handles go with everything?
Not necessarily. They go very well with white, black or deep colors like forest green or midnight blue, but avoid pairing them with stainless steel.
