the smallest home update you can make

Table of Contents

Call it the pull of Spring cleaning, but I have been trying to get as many household projects done lately as possible. After quite a hiatus of house projects due largely to a lack of motivation I’m proud to announce that one by one projects big and small are getting crossed off of our never-ending to-do list.

I’m a big believer in the power that even small improvements to your home can hold. One thing that you might not think much about are your hardware. It’s true, the finish and style of knobs can really outdate or update a space, yet oftentimes it seems to be an after thought.  The great thing about changing out your cabinet and drawer pulls and knobs is such an easy update that even the most novice diy-er can take on themselves.

 

New hardware, home improvement

 

Recently I updated the hardware on two of our furniture pieces and it’s amazing how much of a difference it has made! Read on for some serious eye candy when it comes to hardware styles. Links contain affiliates, all opinions are completely my own. Thanks for helping to support Little Dove!

Fun & Modern

Some of these fun knobs seriously have me swooning, would you take a look at that feather? Just go ahead and take all my money right now. If natural elements are more your style, then that wooden knob might be just what you’re looking for, but the lovely leather strap pull and gorgeous antler knobs are quite the accent pieces too. Most of these knobs would be better in small doses as accents (like these amazing agate knobs), but I really like the way the silver bamboo drawer pull has simple enough lines that you could use in on a larger piece, or even on cabinetry in a space like a bathroom or laundry room.

Traditional & Vintage


Most of the time I tend to lean towards a more vintage or traditional looking knob, I just feel like they’re a little more timeless and can easily match a lot of different styles, but traditional definitely doesn’t have to mean boring! Just like those cheery white and yellow knobs that would be perfect to brighten up any space! My heart also has a special love for glass knobs, and if you do a quick search the possibilities are endless! I especially love these gorgeous aqua knobs and these square glass knobs with the deco detailing. Of course, with classic round knobs and bin pulls you can’t go wrong if you’re looking to makeover a large space like your kitchen.
