Recessed pulls are another great options for kitchens with limited space.  Recessed pulls are a more mature offering in the cabinet hardware industry and you can find them from many different manufacturers and in dozens of finish types.  To compliment your high end cabinets, incorporate a recessed pull from Sugatsune or Giusti.  Sugatsune offers Japanese design and manufacturing perfection in their cabinet hardware.  Giusti recessed pulls are designed and manufactured by fine Italian standards.  Knob Deco also carries recessed pulls from additional manufacturers including Richelieu Hardware and Linnea Hardware.

Maximizing Bath Space - If your bathroom has limited space, there are lots of great products to give you functionality you would find in a full bath suite. 

With limited wall space, you might have trouble finding enough wall space for multiple towels to be hung.  Consider a double towel bar that allows two towels to be hung one directly in front of the other.

For tight areas around a toilet, order a recessed toilet tissue holder.  These holders will minimize the distance a toilet tissue roll will protrude from the wall. Knob Deco has a large selection of recessed toilet tissue paper holders from Liberty Hardware.  They are available in a wide variety of finishes including white, satin nickel, and chrome.

Wednesday, March 20, 2013 3:21:24 AM America/Denver

Windows and doors and their types and positions are very crucial in any room.  It increases the cross ventilation and also keeps the air flowing, hence the room fresh and germ free. Even FengShui stresses on having proper windows and cross ventilation for every room. 

Stylish Window with Modern Stripes for Contemporary Home Decorations

Now did you know that glass can be the cause of around 10-20% heat loss in winter and around 25-35% heat gain in summer? 

Windows are not a very good insulator at all and are a bit of a mixed blessing. But if you want to make the best use of your windows, invest in window treatments.Cover your windows. It will look good and also ward off the extra heat. Window treatment also involves accessorizing your windows.

Here are a few ways to accessorize your windows….

Double Glazing: Double or triple glazing works well with controlling the potentially unwanted heat loss and gain through your glass window.Its benefits are that the pocket of air trapped between the two/three panes of glass prevent most of the heat loss/gain.

Double or Triple Glazing Windows

Awnings: In summer you can pull down heavy canvas awnings to the ground to prevent direct sunlight from entering the house. This stops most of the heat gain due to the pocket of air trapped on the outside of the windows between the glass and the awning

Awnings Windows

In winter you can roll the awnings attached outside the windows all the way up to let in maximum light and heat causing a mini greenhouse effect in the living areas at the front of the house.

Natural coverings: You can decorate your window with plants inside and outside. This will add a natural dash of green, which is no doubt soothing to your eyes.

The leaves will block the heat in summer and let light through in winter.  A larger tree planted in the ground outside your window will have the same effect.

Curtains: These are the most basic form of window treatment. It not only decorates your window, but also lets you enjoy the privacy of your home.

Home Decor with Good curtains

Good curtains add a classy feel to the room décor and make the windows look good too.

Pelmets & Shutters: Closed pelmets fitted to the top of blinds or curtains stop the air from flowing over the window pain. Internal plantation shutters are another option which traps a pocket of air in the window frame acting like double glazing.

BlindsBlinds work very well to decorate as well as avoid the heat from your window. Blinds also look very good on French windows overlooking a garden or a patio.

Customer Spotlight: Brian Lee with Mendocino Doors

Thursday, December 27, 2012 9:59:49 PM America/Denver

Customer Story: Brian Lee and the Sea Cliff Door

 

“To sacrifice quality, is to deprive future generations of our craft.” This phrase spans the top of Brian Lee’s website, MendocinoDoors.com, and is a true testament to the mission of his company.

 

Lee uses old-growth redwood to sculpt his doors. It’s wood of exceptional quality from trees 500-1000 years old. These beauties were left on the forest floor amidst over-logging. But because of redwoods’ exceptional resistance to decay, these specimens are not only usable, they still have no peers in terms of quality.

 

And then from that wood? Well, take a look for yourself:

 

 

 

Because Lee’s doors are these amazing pieces of functional art, we were flattered to find out one of his recent creations, The Sea Cliff Entrance Door, was fitted with a Knob Deco door pull. We think each of our pieces of cabinet hardware is a work of art. And look what they do for Brian’s beautiful creation!

 

 

Brian calls this “cloud redwood.” Because our door pull has no visible means of attachment, it only enhances the striking material. What a lucky door handle!

 

As beautiful as these and all of Lee’s creations are, he also keeps his manufacturing process as green as possible. All of that amazing redwood is salvaged from sustainably harvested forests. And Lee keeps his customer in mind just as much as his products. He jumps at the chance to do custom orders and takes every chance to keep the customer involved in the design process. You won’t find more carefully hand created doors, or a craftsman more in love with its product.

 

We’re lucky to provide cabinet hardware to such a talented customer base. And we love knowing where our products end-up. If you are a KnobDeco customer and want to show-off what you’ve done with our products, we’d love to hear from you at customerservice@knobdeco.com!

Hungry for Hardware; Happy Knobsgiving!

Monday, November 19, 2012 10:25:29 PM America/Denver

A crisp chill in the air, loved ones traveling near and far, and the rapidly emptying grocery store shelves -– there a hints of the season all around us; why not add some to your kitchen or bathroom decor!? You’d need more than one sitting to scarf your way through all the fall themed knobs and pulls we have in stock. So we’ve carved off a few of the choicest bites, to keep your cabinets as festive as your plate. Sit back, loosen your belt and enjoy this heaping helping of Thanksgiving themed cabinet hardware!

 

Sierra Lifestyles Turkey Knob

 

This bountiful bird had to be the first on our list. A Thanksgiving gathering is barely complete without a mention of the traditional fowl. You’ve probably had images of a succulent brown turkey passing through your mind all month; why not have them on your cabinets too? If you eat turkey on the big day, try to pull it out of the oven before it gets as tough as the Sierra Lifestyles Turkey Knob. But understand that this perfect portion is 100% vegetarian.

 

Anne at Home: Corn

 

Corn is one of the oldest additions to the Thanksgiving table. It’d be a shame to not have some hanging around your kitchen when it comes time to pass plates. This corn is just as gold as you may want, but not quite as sweet. The cabinet pull is as tough as they come, so it will be hanging around your kitchen even longer than your mother-in-law -- though that may not seem possible.

MNG Hardware Potato Knob

 

Another vegetable to don your table, the potato is one of the most versatile foods out there! Likewise, this knob is one of our most diverse on the list, simply because it doesn’t constantly remind you of a potato. Decorators who don’t want their cabinet hardware modeled after food would be just as happy with this lovely, organically shaped knob. Whether your design scheme is more country, classic or au gratin – it’s all gravy with this studly spud.

 

Liberty Hardware Pumpkin Knob

 

On to dessert! Pumpkin pie is good enough to be shared across tables year-round. But once autumn falls, pie lovers all agree that this good gourd is worth the wait. Pumpkins never go out of style as a way to make your mantle or dinning table festive. Picking a patch of these knobs takes things one-step further. But these knobs will also suit your space year-round, so there’s no need to worry about ripeness.

Premier Hardware Napa Valley Grape Pull

You can’t sink your teeth into all this delicious décor without having something to wash it down.  While wine won’t be found in a cornucopia, I’m confident a bottle still rolls it’s way across most thankful tables. This beautiful, grape garnished pull is the perfect way to channel vineyard living.  And you won’t have to wait for it to ferment, just for us to ship it. Cheers to that!

 

Whether you can’t wait to pull your guests together, or you think they’re a bunch of knobs; we at Knob Deco hope you all have a few great people to sit down and enjoy a Thanksgiving meal with, Happy Holidays!
