Wood Cabinet Pulls

Home Improvement

Christy Jesse's avatarChristy Jesse - Blog

The more spaces I design, the more I’m convinced every room needs something in it that?s made of wood. It’s the texture and warmth of wood that gives a room depth and character and has become a necessary ingredient in my eyes.

Over the weekend, I linked to a houseboat renovation that I love and on closer inspection I noticed the kitchen’s cabinet pulls were wood. A wood cabinet pull looks especially good on painted cabinetry when it’s tied in to the wood tones in the floor, countertop, or room accents. It struck me that wood cabinet pulls and knobs are a gorgeous alternative to metals and one I won’t overlook in the future.

My kitchen is a bit cold. And although they’re not draughty, I’ve noticed that all the windows feel quite cold when you’re near to them.

I’ve had good success with the simple and cheap IKEA SHOTTIS blinds in some of the smaller windows. They’re a concertina paper/material and it’s surprising how well they trap air and how cold that trapped air feels when you lift it again.

I’d seen a nice white patterned blind called LISELOT a while back, but several trips to IKEA found it to be out of stock or only a damaged one left on the shelf.

This week I got one, and it’s made the kitchen look smarter. When fitting it, I found that the ceiling height in the corner is higher than the…
