What is a handle for furniture and drawers?
A handle is a fitting attached to drawers, cabinets, or doors, making it easy to open and close them. At Dims Studio, you’ll find a carefully selected range of decorative handles that add personality and character to both new and old furniture. The selection is curated with a focus on quality, materials, and that little extra touch that makes a big difference in your interior.
Materials and types of handles
Handles come in many different materials, and at Dims Studio you can choose from brass, ceramic, glass, iron, and enamel, among others. Brass handles give a warm and classic look, while ceramic and glass offer more color play and detail. Enamel and iron are often used for more rustic or vintage-inspired designs. The collection includes pulls, knobs, and classic grip handles, so you can match any piece of furniture and style.
Sizes and dimensions
Most handles for drawers and cabinets measure between 3 and 6 cm in diameter if they are knobs, and 8 to 14 cm in length if they are pulls. The hole distance on pulls typically ranges from 6 to 10 cm, fitting most standard furniture. It’s a good idea to measure existing holes before choosing new handles. Smaller knobs work well for bedside tables or dressers, while longer pulls suit kitchen cabinets and larger drawers.
