There are a few things to consider when making your choice: finish, size, and compatibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s take a look at all three:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Finish \/ Aesthetics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The finish on your new hardware can be anything you like. Your choices might be limited by the style of home you already have, or the one you\u2019d like to copy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Matte Black<\/strong> is best for modern, farmhouse, or industrial-style homes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brushed Nickel<\/strong> is versatile, hides wear, and fits both traditional and modern homes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chrome<\/strong> is bright, clean, and goes well with traditional homes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brass \/ Gold Tones<\/strong> will give your home a warm, vintage, upscale look.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oil-rubbed Bronze<\/strong> is a good choice for rustic homes as well as traditional.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Size \/ Proportion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Size and proportion refer to the traditional sizes of most home hardware and what they work best with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are a few facts about size and proportion to help you choose correctly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Knobs work best on small cabinets with small doors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cabinet pulls are usually 3 to 6 inches long and look best on larger doors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Longer pulls are the preferred choice for oversize drawers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bathroom towel bars are typically 18 to 24 inches long.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Installation Compatibility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Installation compatibility is an important factor to keep in mind during your swap, for several reasons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are a few real-world examples to help explain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If new hardware isn\u2019t compatible, old holes might be visible, off center, or too small \/ large.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some hardware like towel bars use drywall anchors.
