Nice taps and kitchen cupboard handles

We are doing a kitchen renovation at the mo. Have reused our old kitchen and painted the doors. Keeping the worktop too probably.

We want to change the handles on the cupboards and will be installing a new sink and tap.

We can splurge (a bit!!) on both, so fully intend to do so. It's basically all we will be spending money on and I think nice handles and a tap will make a big difference.

Send me all the nice taps and handles you either have or lust over!

We are probably going for gold/bronze but interested to see a range. Not silver tho.

Well, for taps you can't beat Perrin & Rowe. We recently got a P&R tap as part of our new kitchen, and it's glorious.

For handles, we used Yesterhome. Their antique brass handles and mushroom knobs are very beautiful.

Those are very lovely knobs indeed. Just sent DH some photos!

Corston Architectural or Mark Lewis Interior Design for handles and knobs.

I second Perrin and Rowe. We got one similar to the one linked.

Hardware from meraki.

They won't be what you are looking for because of the colour, but we chose solid pewter handles by Finesse Pewter and our tap (an articulated style) was from Hornbeam Ivy/Steamvalve Originals.

Neither was cheap, but they look fab and we're so pleased with our choices.

Previously we've also bought Perrin & Rowe and Barber Wilson taps which are both great quality.....

I love black taps. The picture attached is how I'd love my sink with the tap.

I do like profile handles and would get them in black too Grin.

Nice taps and kitchen cupboard handles

Perrin & Rowe for taps ! I’ve got the Ionian, it’s Beautiful ! I got my handles from ironmongery direct and everyone comments how expensive they look (they weren’t !)

Have a look at Buster and Punch, Dowsing and Reynolds for brass handles

Armac Martin do amazing hardware for kitchens.

Are you in hard water?

I'm really impressed with blanco. It wasn't a make I'd heard of before and then I discovered their sinks 😍.
Love our muted brass blanco tap.

Treated ourselves to Shaws of Darwen for a sink, and another Perrin & Rowe tap fan too, we have the aged brass finish and it's gorgeous. If Shaw's not your style, try Olif Design.

Our handles are from Yesterhome too, but @mobear's suggestions are bang on as well, was very tempted by both of those. Buster & Punch and Dowsing & Reynolds also great suggestions, and look at Rowen & Wren who make lovely stuff and are great to deal with.

If money were really no object I'd buy handles from Beate Heumann, but unfortunately it was an object so I didn't.
