What are knobs for doors and drawers?

A knob for doors and drawers is a small handle mounted on cabinet doors or drawers to make them easy to open and close. At Dims Studio, you’ll find a carefully selected range of knobs focusing on details, materials, and a playful expression that can give your furniture a personal touch.

Materials and types of knobs

Knobs for doors and drawers come in many materials, and at Dims Studio, the focus is especially on ceramic, brass, glass, and enamel. Ceramic knobs often feature hand-painted details and a soft, tactile feel. Brass knobs offer a classic look and develop a beautiful patina over time. Glass and enamel add color and shine to both kitchens and furniture. You’ll find round, oval, and shaped forms – from simple, solid-colored knobs to knobs with patterns, animals, or flowers.

Sizes and dimensions

Most knobs typically measure between 3 and 5 cm in diameter. A classic knob is often about 3.5 cm wide and protrudes 2.5–3 cm from the door or drawer. Some models are more compact and suitable for smaller drawers or narrow doors, while larger knobs measuring 4.5–5 cm in diameter can serve as eye-catchers on wardrobes or dressers. Remember to measure the thickness of your cabinet door – most knobs fit doors 1–2.5 cm thick, and a screw is usually included that can be adjusted.

Brand stories and design choices

Dims Studio has gathered knobs from brands like Doing Goods, &Klevering, Bongusta, Anna+Nina, and Kersten. Each brand has its own approach: Doing Goods is known for their handmade, animal-inspired brass knobs with a humorous twist. &Klevering and Bongusta bring color and playful shapes into the selection, often in ceramic or enamel. Anna+Nina play with vintage references and surprising details, while Kersten offers classic shapes in modern colors. All knobs in the range are carefully chosen for their quality and character.

Use and styling of knobs

  • Update kitchen doors or dressers with colorful knobs for a personal expression.
  • Mix and match different shapes or colors for an eclectic look – for example, three different knobs on the bathroom cabinet.
  • Use knobs in the kids’ room to add fun figures or motifs.
  • A large knob works well as a standalone hook for scarves or jewelry on the wall.
  • Replace standard knobs on your wardrobe to give the room new life without changing the entire piece of furniture.

Knobs and interior design – styles and inspiration

Knobs for doors and drawers can be integrated into many styles. In a colorful kitchen, ceramic knobs with patterns fit perfectly. For Scandinavian, bright homes, brass or glass offers a calm and refined expression. In more bohemian-inspired interiors, knobs with animal motifs or vintage looks are popular. Knobs can also be used to tie a theme together in the home – for example, choose knobs with flowers for both bathroom and bedroom to create a cohesive thread.
