When it comes to cabinet hardware, there are two things we absolutely adore – cabinet hardware and Etsy. Our river house is filled with hardware from Etsy, so we decided to explore and compile a list of our favorites. I’ve personally purchased some knobs from Etsy that I adore, and I’ll share them with you shortly. The variety of options available on Etsy is truly endless, covering every style imaginable, including vintage pieces. Today, I’ll showcase a selection of projects where we’ve used cabinet hardware from Etsy and then introduce you to more options that caught our eye. But before we dive into the aesthetics, here’s a helpful post about hardware placement to guide you on the type and size you might need for your desired look. Here’s a quick crash course graphic:

Upon first glance at this room, the soothing paint color catches your eye, closely followed by the beautiful cabinet handles. The combination of light wood and brass details makes a subtle yet significant design statement. These handles are a perfect fit for the space and the overall home design. And aren’t the little knobs just adorable?

What’s even more appealing is the affordability of these pieces. I opted for the beech wood, and those small knobs start at $4 – a fantastic deal for such lovely pieces. The simplicity of the shape and materials lends versatility in style. Additionally, a wooden handle offers a refreshing departure from the ubiquitous all-metal options.

Several other rooms in the river house have also received the Etsy hardware treatment, including the family room. Although this is an initial move-in photo, the black wood handles look incredibly stylish. What’s more, they are priced under $10 each!

Opting for a wood handle or knob instantly adds visual texture to a space while also providing a softening effect. If you’re looking to introduce more organic elements into your home, this is a simple and renovation-free way to achieve that.


Surprise! The same handles in a different wood tone, accompanied by an additional modern knob that exudes charm. I particularly love how the hardware is positioned off to the right corner – simple yet fresh.

Continuing the trend of showcasing the black oak handles, this shot provides a closer look at their shape as well.

For those interested in viewing these knobs up close, here they are! Modern yet not mundane or stark.


In my previous rental, I knew the kitchen knobs it came with wouldn’t suffice. They were ugly, plastic, and cheap. Out they went! After much searching, I settled on these fantastic mid-century modern-inspired black metal ones. I wanted something with a slightly more interesting shape that visually stood out (hence the black metal), was simple, and easy to grip. Mission accomplished!

If black doesn’t complement your space, fear not – they come in 6 other metals. I’m pretty sure they were more budget-friendly when I purchased mine in 2019, as is the case with most things, but they are now priced at $13 per piece. You can bet I took mine with me wherever I moved!
