Decorating tip: drawer handles

Save

E-mail

Make your mark on a generic piece of furniture simply by changing the handles. Delicate, decorative handles are increasingly easy to source; look for them at markets, hardware and homeware stores. Once you have given your chest of drawers a new look, decorate with accessories in crisp, complementary colours to create a sophisticated display.

i thought that there was going to be more infomation on this article on line - i was hoping that it would at least provide where to get the green knobs from and if they come in pink?

Hi Nikkif,

Sorry about the lack of information - the credits were supposed to be part of the page but where somehow left off!

We've added them now so that readers can source the same knobs if they wish.

Best,
