Bathroom Furniture Handles

Match the handle type to how you use the unit and the look you want, bar and long handles give a clean, contemporary look and are easy to grip on larger drawer fronts, while round knobs and strap handles suit more traditional furniture. Recessed handles sit flush for a sleek, minimalist finish and work well on wall‑hung vanities in tight ensuites. Wrapover handles are low‑profile and neat on thinner doors, and specific spare handles are designed to follow moulded surfaces. Think about frequency of use and the overall scheme: if you open drawers several times a day, a comfortable rounded bar or long handle is practical and pleasant to use.

Aim to harmonise finishes: chrome pairs naturally with chrome taps for a cohesive, reflective look; brushed brass or brass brings warmth and complements warmer taps and wood tones; black offers a bold contrast against light or gloss units and suits matte black taps. The collection includes chrome, brass, brushed brass, black, grey and white so you can match or deliberately contrast. Choose brushed brass handles to echo brushed brass taps and warm timber vanity tops for a coordinated, upscale feel.

Measure the width of the drawer or door and, if replacing existing handles, record the fixing hole centres before ordering; the range here covers small knobs and short bars up to long handles such as include 46mm, 103mm, 140mm, 150mm, 200mm, 300mm, 342mm and 400mm. Shorter handles or knobs suit narrow drawers and cupboards, while 300–400mm long handles work well on wide vanity drawers to give a balanced look. If you’re matching a fluted unit, use the spare Artis handles offered in 150mm, 300mm and 400mm to keep the original spacing and aesthetic.

Recessed handles are generally better for compact bathrooms because they sit flush and won’t catch on towels or reduce clearance, creating a cleaner, space‑saving profile. Wrapover handles are also slim and low profile, but they do project slightly and give an easier grip if you prefer something you can hook your fingers around. If you have tight circulation around a vanity, go recessed for maximum clearance; if you want a discreet but tactile pull on thin doors, a small wrapover handle is a good compromise.

Yes, there are spare handles made specifically for fluted units, for example Artis fluted furniture spares are available in matching finishes and lengths such as 150mm, 300mm and 400mm so you retain the original style. Choose the same finish and length to preserve the visual rhythm of the fluting; a brushed brass spare will keep the warmth, while a chrome spare keeps it crisp. If you prefer a subtle update, select the same size but a different finish to refresh the look without altering proportions.
