What to choose – kitchen units with or without handles

Are you for or against handles ? Handles add the finishing touch to kitchen units and their doors. Rounded, square, matt or shiny, invisible or completely absent – how you open your drawers and cupboards must be functional while also matching the units. Ixina provides you with all the details to consider when choosing your kitchen handles.

Handle-free cupboard fronts

You can forget handles – these integrated models adapt very well to clean and minimalist decorations. Although a handle-free system is discreet, it can take several forms.

Profiles

Anodised aluminium profiles are available in several colours of finish. They play on contrast or blend in with the cupboard fronts if they are the same colour. You can be even more individual with different coloured profiles to add energy and elegance to your kitchen.

Doors with handles

Handles countersunk into the door and profiles concealed behind the door are another popular option. Their practicality and discretion will lend understated style to your kitchen.

Push-pull opening

Simply pressing the door opens the unit either mechanically or electronically !

The fronts with handles

Light, sleek or with character, handles underline the personality of your kitchen. Choose from authentic, industrial, offbeat, bohemian, arty, colourful, large, medium, small, thin or thick. From contemporary to traditional kitchen knobs, there’s something to suit every taste.

Contemporary

There is an impressive choice of shapes and colours. Rectangular and square handles are elegant and refined. What's more, they're easy to grip. Horizontal or vertical, choose the option that suits you best!

Authentic

Give your kitchen a strong character with handles that are totally in keeping with the style of your kitchen. A wooden handle to raise and highlight the fronts of an authentic kitchen. Or dare to contrast black and white for an even more elegant look.

Door-mounted sections

Positioned on the top or side of the doors, they are both stylish and discreet. Turn your kitchen into a real work of art by integrating flat, contrasting handles into your fronts. Alternatively, they can be slimline and blend in perfectly with the décor.

The buttons

Perfect for those with a vintage feel, kitchen knobs are back with a vengeance. Round or shell-shaped, full of charm, these handles will also add a quirky touch to a contemporary kitchen. They also add a touch of softness and balance out strict atmospheres.

Choosing materials for the your kitchen cupboard handles

Create harmony to reflect your taste or combine various materials for a striking effect !

Metal

Stainless steel, wrought iron or aluminium handles evoke modernity and display a rather industrial style. Less common gold or copper models lend warmth to the ambience and are very elegant, especially on dark units.
