Form and functionality are at the heart of MCM design, and that should carry into your mid century modern cabinet hardware choices as well. The right knobs and pulls can turn plain cabinetry into a statement piece, adding fun geometrics to an otherwise minimalist kitchen. From softly rounded knobs to crisp-curved pulls, these details match the balance of form and function that defines the style.
To help you find the perfect fit, we’re sharing ten of our favorite cabinet knobs and pulls that blend into every mid-mod kitchen.
Mid Century Modern Cabinet Knobs
1. Oberon Series
The Oberon Series knob brings a gentle elegance with a compact, rounded silhouette. At 1⅜-inch diameter, it shows up just enough to draw attention, but remains classy rather than flashy. The golden champagne finish adds warmth and a light glow, which pairs perfectly with brass accents or brings a soft highlight to painted or natural wood cabinetry.
2. Revitalize Series
A fresh take on a mid-century staple, the Revitalize knob keeps lines clean and polished. Its rounded profile and 1¼-inch size bring just enough presence, while the choice of finishes lets you dial in the mood—golden champagne for a warm glow or oil rubbed bronze for a touch of retro drama. This knob is equally at home on kitchen cabinets of natural wood, bright white, or sleek black.
3. Edona Series
With rounded edges, smooth curves, and a timeless vibe, the Edona knob is mid-century modern minimalism at its finest. The knob is a balanced 1¼ inches, and available in satin nickel and oil rubbed bronze finishes that complement wood tones, fun cabinet colors, and tile kitchen backsplash.
4. Hexa Series
The Hexa knob turns classic geometric shapes into jewelry for your cabinets. At 1½ inches across, its rectangular shape catches natural and overhead light from every angle. Whether in polished chrome for a glossy look or satin nickel for a soft sophistication, the Hexa knob’s design plays up the architectural vibe that mid-mod design is known for.
5. Helix Series
The Helix knob, compact at just 1 inch, features a multi-sized stacked base that is both interesting and refined. For finish options, choose from polished chrome for a shiny glow, satin nickel for a simple vibe, or medium antique bronze for a warm and textured look. Despite its small size, the shape and finishes pack a big personality.
Mid Century Modern Cabinet Pulls
6. Gamma Series
Linear and lean, the Gamma pull stretches across cabinetry with a sleek sophistication for a comfortable hand-hold. Available in 6 ¼ inch or 7 ½ inch sizes and multiple finishes—including bright polished brass, polished chrome, satin nickel, and medium antique bronze—the Gamma Series pulls can be matched to any cabinet size or color.
7. Bar Pull Series
Classic and versatile, the Bar Pull series is the backbone of mid-century cabinetry, and there are many designs to choose from. Options range from slim 13 ¼ inch rods to thick 5 ⅜ inch designs—all with clean, circular ends—so you can pick the length and size that best fits your kitchen cabinets. Finishes include golden champagne, black bronze, oil-rubbed bronze, and stainless steel. The combination of ample styles and finishes makes this one of our favorite series!
8. Solar Series
The Solar Series pull offers a sleek linear profile. With long, straight lines and curved ends, it brings a contemporary edge without feeling rigid in design. Available in 6 ⅓-inch and 3 ¾-inch center-to-center sizes, it offers flexibility for everything from full cabinet doors to smaller drawers. Finishes include polished chrome for a bright sheen or satin nickel for a soft, brushed look.
9. Octa Series
Geometric and refined, the Octa Series pull spans 7 ½ inches center-to-center, giving larger drawers and cabinets a bold but clean look. Its beveled edges add character, while the finishes—including satin nickel and medium antique bronze—let you set the tone.
10. Medi Series
The slightly curved shape of Medi pulls feels ergonomic in the hand, while the polished chrome and antique bronze finishes let you tilt the design either warm or cool. This series is perfect for adding character to simple mid-century modern kitchen cabinets.
