Choosing kitchen cabinet knobs seems like an easy decision compared to all the other kitchen decorating decisions. Still, with so many styles, sizes, designs, and finishes to choose from, picking the kitchen cabinet knobs that are right for your kitchen can be quite a bothersome task.
Read the steps below to help you select the kitchen cabinet knob that is right for your kitchen.

** Match your kitchen style **
When choosing kitchen cabinet knobs, the first thing you want to remember is that the knobs should match your general style of your kitchen. The kitchen cabinet knobs' finish should also match the finish of your cabinets. (This doesn't mean they have to be identical, but make sure they are a good match.)
2** Choose kitchen cabinet knobs you feel comfortable using **
Remember you will be using these knobs many times a day. So be sure to choose cabinet knobs that are comfortable for you to use. Everyone has their own preference. Everybody has their own preference when it comes to the type of knobs they like, so be sure to test out the knobs before you buy.
Some comfort considerations include:
* If you have young children who need cabinet knobs that they can grasp with their tiny hands but are not too small to make it difficult to use.
* If you have elderly family members who have a hard time grasping small objects make sure to choose knobs that will be easy for them to handle.
* If the knobs you are choosing have rough edges that make your hands feel uncomfortable
* Whether the handles become slippery and difficult to handle when your hands are wet or damp
3** Choose an elaborate style for a simple cabinet **
If you have simple kitchen cabinets, then a fancy cabinet knob can be a great way to liven up your kitchen with minimal effort.
4** Choose a simple style for elaborate kitchen cabinets **
If you have kitchen cabinets with fancy or intricate design, then choose very simple kitchen cabinet knobs so as not to take away from the look of the cabinets.
5** Remember, price adds up **
Kitchen cabinet knobs might seem inexpensive, but remember because you will need to buy a lot of them, even an extra dollar a piece will add up.
6** Go home and test out **
Go to a few stores and buy some sample cabinet knobs and try them out. Try out both how they look and how comfortable they are to use.
* Remember to mark down at which store you bought each style so that you can buy more of the one you like the most.
* Don't just buy one knob of each sample, but buy a few so that you can get a good feel for how the style looks.
