Handle Swap: The Modern Matte Upgrade

We always tell people who are doing their first DIY project that they don't need to tear down their kitchen to make it look new and modern. The smallest things can sometimes make the biggest difference. We think that every  renovator should try a black matte handle swap as an upgrade.

Why do you need handles? Think about how often you open and close your drawers and cupboards. People use them a lot in the kitchen, but they're often the last thing to be updated. But as soon as you change them, the whole room feels more planned and stylish.

Black furniture handles are great because they go with almost any style. Do you have white cabinets? The difference looks clear and sharp. Finishes for wood? Black adds depth to the modern look without losing the cosy, natural feel. A matte black touchpoint makes even coloured cabinets look more stylish right away.

Our black handles at Urban Hardware are not only nice to look at, but they are also useful and cheap. They are meant to be used every day, are durable, and can be put together easily with just a screwdriver. No need for a tradesperson, no stress, and no big budget. Just take off the old handles, line up the new ones, and your kitchen will look like it came out of a magazine.

Our favourite bonus is that a handle swap is good for renters. You can keep your old handles and switch them back when you need to. You can still enjoy the new, sleek look while you live there.

So, if you've been looking for kitchen ideas and want your space to feel more modern, start with the one thing you touch the most. Urban Hardware's matte black handles are a quick, cheap way to make your kitchen look better.
