But if you want to be trendy ... pick less expensive pieces." Daily Gleaner also suggests, "It's a good idea to make sure you find something that feels good in the hand. Some people refer to this (cabinet hardware) as kitchen jewelry because it is the finishing touch to the space."
The author's best piece of advice is not to overthink things. "Pick something that meets your needs. Get something you can live with. Make sure you like the feel of it on the cabinet door. If you aren't sure about what will look and feel right in your kitchen or bath, sometimes it is possible to take samples home."
