In modern kitchen designs, appliances like fridges, freezers, and dishwashers are often integrated into the cabinetry. Concealed behind panels that match the rest of the cabinetry, this seamless look is gaining popularity as a coveted kitchen feature for homeowners. However, these appliances have sealed inner trimmings, making them hard to open. An appliance pull handle is a strong purpose-built handle designed for this application, making it easier to open the appliance doors, especially for larger fridges like the Sub-Zero models.
“What handles to use is always a question we get asked!” says Marc Bennet, Marketing Director at Furnware Group.
Marc’s preference is Momo Handles’ Bellevue handle range, a modern take on a classic design, with the choice between plain or knurled texture, five signature finishes and an optional backplate. “It’s very versatile in style and application, and with various options to choose from, you can create diverse looks to match any kitchen style,” says Marc.
The Bellevue range also offers cabinetry bar handles and a matching knob that can be paired with the appliance pull handle. Or a different handle style that still matches the Bellevue appliance pull, their Brighton collection has the style and texture to complement it.
A highlight of the Bellevue range is the variety of textures, finishes and backplates on offer, each of which can be mixed and matched to create a combination that’s right for your space, whatever the style.
The Hamptons architectural style is characterised by American craftsman homes, which feature large intricate roofs, a mix of timber and stone cladding, and an abundance of white. The Hamptons' Australiana style is more coastal and casual, yet still sophisticated. If you want to enhance your Australiana Hamptons integrated kitchen, Marc recommends pairing it with the Bellevue Appliance Pull, “choose a brushed dark brass finish and knurled texture, along with the matching backplate on shaker door cabinets to create a Hamptons Australiana style,” says Marc.
Modern industrial kitchen design features raw and durable materials such as concrete, steel, brick and timber, creating a solid and steady ambience. With the style favouring darker hues, a heavy matt black bar appliance pull with knurled texture and no backplate compliments the distinctive heavy industrial look.
Art Deco has returned to kitchens through the use of large geometric flooring and splashback tiles. The style’s rich colours, geometric shapes and striking patterns combine to become a living piece of art. Appliance pulls with a brass and textured handle and backplate would perfectly reflect the Art Deco style.
Adding an appliance pull can further enhance style and functionality to complement the cohesive feel of integrated cabinetry in new kitchen designs. Whether creating a Hamptons, Industrial or Art Deco look, appliance pulls can help achieve the desired aesthetic.
