Vintage Mediterranean Nightstand Drawer Pulls

When it comes to decorating, sometimes the beauty is in the details. As is the case with knobs, hinges, handles, and pulls. Think of them as jewelry, but for your furniture.

Bored of blah accents? Swap out (or refurbish) existing hardware for something a bit more statement-making. It's an easy and inexpensive way to upgrade even the plainest of pieces (well that, and perhaps a fresh coat of paint).

Consider sprucing up a snoozy nightstand with vintage crystal knobs or add polish to a humdrum dresser with luxe leather pulls. And these versatile accessories can just as easily bring a room together. Coordinating hardware instantly transforms mismatched furnishings into a cohesive set.

Ready to give tired drawers and cabinets a well-deserved makeover? We've rounded up 10 helpful how-to's that demonstrate just how easy it is to take your furniture from ordinary to outstanding.

How to Make Everyday Items Feel More Sophisticated with Cabinet Handles

• DIY Faux Marble Drawer Knobs

  Mandi Johnson/A Beautiful Mess

  Marble is a major trend, from countertops to coasters, and yes, even knobs. Mandi Johnson (via A Beautiful Mess) modernized her heirloom dresser by trading wooden handles for marbleized knobs, which she DIY-ed with clay.

• Brass Pulls

  One O

  Small space? Try this Ikea hack. The Brimnes bed frame features four sizeable drawers—ideal for storing sweaters, jeans, and even sheets—but the plain white pulls are a bit bland. So why not swap 'em out for some new, gold-spray painted pulls?

  Love the clean lines and unique flourishes of furniture from the '50s and '60s, but don't want to blow your budget on an original (ready-made) piece? Take a cue from this DIY. A starburst stencil and gold spray paint impart major mid-century modern flair.
