Unique cabinetry handles

Playful hardware is having a moment in cabinetry design. For years recessed finger pulls have dominated the kitchen space, but clients are increasingly interested in personalised, tactile and quirky kitchen accents.

Interesting door pulls can be a great way to elevate even the most simple kitchen joinery. Here at Retreat Design we have access to a wide variety of handle styles from our Italian manufacturers as well as the option for a client to specify or source their own unique handles.

Personalisation is key to creating a kitchen that truly feels like home. In 2025, Australian homeowners are seeking bespoke features that reflect their unique style. Every detail, from custom cabinetry and handcrafted tiles to personalised layouts and one-of-a-kind hardware, is an opportunity to express individuality.
