People looking for a cost-effective way to dress up their kitchen doors and cabinets may be interested in buying new glass knobs and handles, it has been claimed. Writing for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Gretchen McKay noted that the smallest details can maximise the atmosphere in food-preparation areas, with glass knobs being a popular choice. Fixtures that move away from typical trends are often considered more desirable by both property owners and designers, Ms McKay stated. Changing pulls and knobs is an easy (and relatively inexpensive) way to give your kitchen ... a new look, she explained. People were also advised that a little bit of flexibility is required as it is unlikely that the colour of the glass handle will match the tile or glaze in other parts of the kitchen. The Democrat and Chronicle last month reported statements made by interior design specialist Gary Pino that vibrant tiles in kitchen sink backsplash areas can complement existing kitchen features.
