10 DIY Furniture Makeovers Using Decorative Hardware

When it comes to interior design, the devil is in the details. Knobs, hinges, handles, and pulls are all examples of this. Consider them to be jewelry for your furniture.

Are you tired of drab accents? Replace (or renovate) existing hardware with something that makes a bigger statement. It’s a simple and inexpensive method to spruce up even the most basic of items (well that, and perhaps a fresh coat of paint).

Consider adding old crystal knobs to a snoozy nightstand or luxury leather pulls to a drab dresser to give gloss. These adaptable accessories can also be used to tie a room together. Mismatched furniture becomes a coherent set with the addition of matching hardware.
