Beautiful & affordable drawer pulls - how to easily upgrade furniture

Changing out drawer pulls and doorknobs is a really easy way to inject a bit of pizazz into tired looking furniture. You can also unify various pieces of second-hand furniture in your home, by using the same pulls on them all, to achieve a more consistent look. I've done this in my own home using the same lovely silver fleur-de-lys drawer pulls on various second-hand furniture pieces.

When you're looking for drawer pulls and doorknobs and you find some you really like, it's worth considering whether you plan to be updating more furniture in future and whether it will be a wise move to purchase a few extra than you actually need. In my case, I bought all the drawer pulls in this fleur-de-lys design that they had in the shop. You should have seen the look on the cashier's face! I don't regret doing that for one minute since these pulls sold out pretty quickly and I've never seen them since! Now, when I upcycle another piece of furniture for my home, I know I can rely on my stash if I want.

These are the Paris Grey chalk painted chests I transformed for my bedroom refresh. They required a transformation story all of their own, so here it is! Click on over to the blog to read their Cinderella story.

Since changing up drawer pulls and doorknobs is such a quick and easy way to revamp furniture, I thought I'd have a look around the web to see what's on offer and because you, my readers come from all corners of the world, there's a little bit of everything here.

Change it up with Leather drawer pulls

I've seen leather drawer pulls like these popping up all over Pinterest and I can see why. They're modern, unique and child-friendly. They are so versatile in that they can be used on modern furniture in perhaps scandi style or on more rustic pieces of furniture.
