To add the perfect finishing touch to your kitchen it is essential to choose the right hardware. Whether you have a modern style kitchen or perhaps something more traditional, here at TBKS, we have something to suit your chosen aesthetic. In this blog post, we look at some of the most popular kitchen style trends for 2020 and suggest some suitable hardware for each design.

✧ Classic ✧

A classic kitchen style is defined by white or cream kitchen cupboards, simple architectural details and black accents. This presents a blank slate for you, the homeowner, to add their own touch to the design elements. When it comes to drawer and cupboard door handles, the choice is entirely yours. We have suggested a couple of our favourite simple designs that would blend seamlessly into this type of kitchen design.
