Hardware Cheat Sheet
$14
Most hardware looks wrong for one reason. Wrong size, wrong spacing, or wrong placement.
Hardware is the jewelry of a piece. A well-chosen pull tells whoever's looking that someone thought about this dresser. An undersized knob tells them the opposite, even if they can't explain why.
These are the rules I use so every piece, whether it's a dresser flip or a kitchen refresh, looks intentional, balanced, and expensive.
Inside this guide:

Designed to save to your phone and pull up while you're shopping for hardware.
