We are well aware that furniture handles are the first point of contact you will have with much of the furniture in your home. Not only do they serve to open and close, but they also have the power to completely transform your furniture.
So if you are revamping a room in your home or need details to create custom furniture, a good furniture handle gives it that premium touch that customers demand. But as there are so many options in our catalogue, we wanted to review the most interesting ones. This will make it easier to get the most out of Emuca handles.
Handles for modern kitchen and bathroom furniture
The smooth finishes with straight lines and no excessive ornamentation fit perfectly with minimalist environments. They are part of our modern handles section because we know that nowadays it is essential to offer variety in both designs and materials.
If you want to prioritise a clean aesthetic, matt or gloss finishes have just the right touch. Among these, aluminium handles will blend in very well with most furniture, making them a safe choice.
However, sometimes in the bathroom or kitchen we want something with more presence. If this is the case, steel handles provide extra strength. They are ideal when durability counts, and they are still aesthetically appealing. But for an even more sophisticated design, Zamak handles take the cake. This type of material allows for more specific, elaborate finishes, but with that premium feel to the touch.
With any of these, you will make your furniture handles the stars of the show. Especially if you make sure to create contrasts in the colour tones between the furniture and the handle itself.
Knobs that stand out: another growing trend
If you prefer something discreet that is also easy to install, furniture knobs are great. Available in aluminium and zamak, our models are perfect for furniture, drawers, etc. However, we think they are ideal for living room furniture, where they really shine.
Of course, you can also use them on other types of furniture, especially on bedside tables or chests of drawers, or on wardrobes that you want to give a very personal touch. Something as simple as changing the knobs can completely revamp the look of an old piece of furniture. You don’t have to redecorate the entire room, but you do give it a fresh new look. They work great when you want to redecorate quickly or get the most out of a tight budget.
For lovers of vintage design, there are also handles
We are aware that classic styles are making a strong comeback. And with them, retro-style furniture handles. That’s why we have a special collection of vintage handles, but you have to choose carefully.
We think that aluminium is the best option for softer aged finishes, while zamak is a good choice if you are looking for something more eye-catching.
This type of furniture handle combines perfectly with restored furniture. Especially if you have rustic kitchens with wooden finishes, or bedrooms with handcrafted metal elements.
Gola system: invisible handles
Do you like designs with no visible elements? If so, our Gola profiles are the best option to avoid installing visible handles. These are Emuca’s famous invisible handles.
We think this system is perfect for kitchens with straight lines, or when you have minimalist furniture, because it defines it more aesthetically without breaking the harmony. You have various options depending on the type of furniture:
This type of furniture handle is often seen in high-end dressing rooms. So keep it in mind to give your projects a premium touch.
Push and hidden systems for hands-free opening
Another type of handle in high demand is the push latch, as it allows opening with a single touch, without having to grab anything at all. We think they are ideal for tall furniture or for hiding elements from view.
And although it is true that we have other locking systems, these are becoming increasingly common, even in children’s furniture. They are safe and extremely practical, especially when children are learning to use them.
Special profiles to the power
We also have profiles for doors and handles for placards, which transform the space because they facilitate opening without taking up front space.
For this reason, we think they are perfect for:
- Built-in wardrobes
- Office furniture
- Sliding doors
If the project you are working on has limited space, don’t hesitate: they will be perfect.
