Choosing the right cup handles for cupboards and drawers
Cup handles are designed with a curved or recessed grip, making them comfortable to use on drawers, cabinet doors and kitchen units. Their covered pull shape gives furniture a neat, practical finish and works especially well on lower drawers, pantry cupboards, sideboards and freestanding furniture. They are a simple way to update a kitchen without replacing the cabinetry.
For a traditional or period look, brass cup handles, antique brass cup handles, pewter cup handles, bronze cup handles and cast and antique iron handles add warmth and character. These finishes pair beautifully with painted Shaker cabinets, natural timber furniture and classic country kitchens. Reeded, hammered, beehive, Art Deco and Victorian styles can add extra detail where you want the handle to become part of the design.
For a more modern scheme, choose black cup handles, polished chrome cup handles, satin chrome cup handles, stainless steel cup handles, nickel cup handles or copper cup handles. These work well with matching appliances, taps, sinks, hinges and light fittings. Smooth cup pulls and rectangular designs create a cleaner look, while matt black offers contrast on white, grey, green, oak and navy cabinetry.
Before ordering, check the fixing centres on your existing cupboards or drawers. Popular cup handle centres include 64mm and 96mm, although wider and smaller sizes are available across the range. If you are replacing old handles, choosing the same centre measurement can make fitting easier and help cover existing drill holes.
