![]() ![]() In the Lambeth Marsh kitchen a recessed handle detail (on the centre and left cabinets) is combined with a coordinating rebated handle on the right hand cupboard, creating the illusion that the timber panel runs across the width of all three units. This is demonstrated in The Ladder Kitchen, where a brass inset handle is rebated into the face of the cabinetry creating a bold industrial aesthetic, contrasting the feminine colour palette. ![]() When designing a rebated handle, we often use contrasting materials to create a statement detail that shows off the handle rather than allowing it to blend into the cabinetry. Although very similar in its composition to a recessed handle, a rebate is where a groove is cut into a plane that allows a secondary item or material to sit flush within it. Using the handle details to allow the contrast of the timber detail to show through can create a striking aesthetic, which can be both modern or more traditional, depending on the combination of spray colour and timber chosen.īuilding on the contrast of materials introduced in the recessed handle detail section, a rebated or inset handle can also offer this contrast of materials, however with additional materials being integrated into the handle itself. We used an angled drawer front combined with a contrasting timber panel in the kitchen of The Courtyard House, where you can see a beveled edge on the top allowing the drawer to sit snugly against the worktop, and a coordinating recessed finger pull on the bottom, allowing you to open both the top and lower drawers from the same plane. When a standard J-groove and matching finish is used this is a subtle choice for a handle detail, however it offers guaranteed practicality and ease of use, and when fabricated well are satisfying to the touch and effortlessly stylish in appearance.Ī beveled edge can also be used to create a recessed handle detail, often book-ended on the bottom of a top drawer next to the top of a middle drawer to combine to make a new detail. ![]() The most common is a J-shaped groove, cut into the top or side of the door or drawer front, which, when routed, is always in the same matching material as the cabinetry. Read on for a quick run down of the handle styles we most frequently use & love, both in the kitchen and throughout the house.Ī recessed finger pull, often referred to as either of the above, can come in a variety of forms. The handle is often the first part of the joinery that you touch, and we feel that it should therefore be an integral part of the design, with everything from the form to the material choice being considered. Whilst integrated handles are often used in ‘handleless’ kitchen designs, we love to incorporate them into a variety of styles of cabinetry, be this from the sleek, contemporary styles, to a more classical look, perhaps with contrasting timber detailing. Whilst we often use fixed, off-the-shelf handles (our favourite contemporary styles are from Furnipart, Dowsing and Reynolds or Buster + Punch, whilst for a more classic look we most often use Armac Martin or Joseph Giles), we wanted to give you a brief introduction into some of the types of integrated handles our skilled team creates in our London workshop. There is a large variety of handle options available when considering the overall aesthetic of your new cabinetry.
