The Best Hardware to Update Oak Cabinets

The best hardware to update oak cabinets from the 90s doesn’t have to be expensive or hard to find!

best hardware for oak cabinets

It can be a challenge to figure out how to modernize oak cabinets all while on a budget. I see it all the time on Pinterest, Instagram & Facebook groups. Renters looking to update oak cabinets in their rented 90s kitchen. New home owners just dabbing their feet in their first DIY. Whether you are renting or you own the home and might renovate in the near future it is possible to bring some life back into those outdated oak cabinets all on a small budget. 

If this is your first time on Life Made Simple check out this post on How to update wood cabinets-no painting for a quick run down on all your options to updating your cabinets. 

Best Hardware to Update Oak Cabinets

Today we are going to talk hardware. Hardware in my opinion is one of the easiest and quickest ways to make your kitchen more up to date. It can make a world of a difference and change the over all vibe of the cabinets drastically. From experience I have found that Amazon is by far the cheapest place to buy cabinet hardware. Not only that but they have way more options than your local Lowe’s or Home Depot!

When choosing a finish for your hardware you want to keep in mind that you’re trying to complement your already existing oak cabinets. In my opinion and possibly many others I would steer away from the ever so trendy gold finish that seems to be making a combat. As gold can look very modern & sleek it will not do your 90s oak cabinets justice. Sorry!

Contrasting colors will give you that pop that you’re wanting to make your cabinets stand out in a good way. Think more black or oil rubbed bronze finish for your pulls or knobs. If you’re a homeowner opting to swap out your faucet and light fixtures for the same finish will be one step ahead into making your space more cohesive and updated!

Here is one really good example of oak cabinets that look outstanding. The whole kitchen looks sleek, modernized and defiantly not stuck in the 90s. The contrasting black hardware really gives the whole kitchen a different vibe than if there wasn’t any hardware at all.

Down below I have compiled a whole list of various knobs and pulls from Amazon. They are affordable and many of them come in packs of 10 or 15. I hope this was helpful in your adventure to updating your outdated cabinets.

Follow me over on INSTAGRAM & send me a message letting me know all about your plans to update! Those are possibly one of my favorite messages that I get! Also catch me over on YOUTUBE for home decor, house updates & the occasional cleaning motivation video.

    We absolutely love your blog and find a lot of your post’s
    to be precisely what I’m looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content in your
    case? I wouldn’t mind publishing a post or elaborating on many of the subjects you write related to here.
    Again, awesome site!

    What you wrote made a bunch of sense. But, what about this?
    suppose you added a little content? I am not suggesting your content isn’t good, however what if you added a headline that
    grabbed folk’s attention? I mean The Best Hardware to Update
    Oak Cabinets – is a little plain. You could peek at Yahoo’s front page
    and see how they create news headlines to grab viewers to open the links.

    You might add a related video or a picture or two to get people
    interested about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it might make your posts
    a little livelier.

    Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made
    or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like
    yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog jump out.
    Please let me know where you got your theme. Cheers
