Pulls and Knobs

The hardware you choose for your cabinets can make or break the overall look of the kitchen, since they serve as a decorative enhancement. Be mindful of your faucet and appliances when choosing your hardware.

Sinks

Your kitchen sink is the most used plumbing fixture in your home. So take the time to give some thought to its look and feel. Consider how many bowls you may need and their sizes. Bowls range from one to three and can be identical or vary in size and depth. Deeper bowls are now more popular. Stainless steel sinks remain an excellent option since they are relatively inexpensive, easy to find and install. Be mindful of the gauge of your sink.

Faucet

Always choose a quality faucet that will provide years of service. Buy a name you can trust. Keep in mind the style, finish, spout type, type of control and kind of sprayer, if any.
