Collection: Shop Cabinet Knobs

Cabinet knobs come in a wide variety of styles—round, oval, T-shaped, geometric, crystal, acrylic, wood, ceramic, leather, and more. Some popular categories include classic round knobs, bold geometric designs, ornate or vintage-inspired knobs, and modern minimalist disc-shaped knobs. These diverse materials and shapes allow you to match or accentuate your cabinetry’s style.

Standard cabinet knobs typically range between 1″ and 2″ in diameter, with 1¼″ being the most common for cabinets sized 12″–36″. Smaller knobs (~1″) suit compact or minimalist designs, while larger knobs (1½″–3″) serve as feature pieces or work well on oversized cabinetry.

Current trends emphasize mixed metals, textured finishes, and geometric shapes. Matte black, brushed or antique brass, sleek disc forms, and ceramic knobs are all being spotlighted. Eco-friendly materials and handcrafted textures are gaining popularity too—especially in styles favoring natural or artisanal aesthetics.

A reliable guideline is to ensure knobs complement the size of the door or drawer—typically sticking to the 1″–2″ range. For cohesive visuals, keep knob diameter consistent across cabinetry. As a general aesthetic tip: choose a knob roughly one-third the width of an inset frame or a size that maintains balance with drawer or door panels.

For modern flat-panel cabinets, knobs are often aligned with the edge or rail—typically 2½″–3″ from the corner for slab doors, or flush with the stile section. Upper cabinet knobs go in the bottom corner opposite the hinge; lower cabinet knobs go in the top corner. On drawers, knobs are centered on panels if small, or placed in “thirds” for wider drawers; centered placement adds to modern symmetry.

1″ cabinet knobs aren't inherently "too small," but they’re best suited for small or minimalist cabinetry. For most kitchen applications—especially full-sized doors and drawers—opting for 1.25″ to 1.5″ is a safer and more comfortable choice.
