All you need to do to outfit your cabinets with a set of kitchen cabinet pulls is to wander into your local home improvement store.
The aisle containing in-stock kitchen cabinet pulls gives you plenty of options, in many styles and materials.
Chances are, you can stop in at the store once and buy the couple dozen or so pieces of hardware you need in a style you like.
If you want, it's possible to decide to do this project in the morning, and have it finished after lunch.
If, however, you want to take on this project and turn it into something artistic, creative, or exotic, you have a wealth of sources to tap into.
There's a wide selection of kitchen cabinet pulls on the Internet that you won't likely see anywhere in your neighborhood.
If you want to stay on the traditional side of artistic kitchen hardware, you might want to check out the kitchen cabinet pulls in cast metal.
Yes, metal pulls are available in abundant choices from the most popular manufacturers, but when you dig deeper, you can find gorgeous, unique tiny sculptures for kitchen cabinet pulls.
For example, if you have a tropical décor that you would like to carry into your kitchen, you can purchase a set of bronze Macaws, tinted in realistic colors, to perch on the front of your cabinet doors.
If you have a favorite flower, you can select Art Nouveau-inspired, cast metal kitchen cabinet pulls displaying roses, poppies, or my personal favorite, irises.
Or if you love the balanced geometry of Craftsman design, you can find brass and enamel (either in black, or in a palate of coordinated colors) kitchen cabinet pulls that draw from these classic designs.
Many craft artists are drawn to glass as their media.
Glass can be molded and coaxed into graceful shapes - and, the colors! If celebrating color and displaying color moves you, glass gives you as many options as you can imagine.
No wonder there are so many glass kitchen cabinet pulls available from crafts artists.
One line of glass kitchen cabinet pulls mirror the sheets of swirled, colored glass used by stained glass artists.
A single bar-shaped pull shows streaks of brilliant blue, neon yellow, or glowing green.
Similar kitchen cabinet pulls have simple white and black glass backgrounds, but are sprinkled with glass "confetti" in contrasting colors.
If you're a fan of Venetian glass, you'll recognize the joyful designs in a set of millefiori kitchen cabinet pulls.
Millefiori, meaning "a thousand flowers" in Italian, is a glass design created by fusing wire-thin rods of glass into clusters, then collecting these clusters and fusing them into larger blocks of glass.
When the glass is sliced, the clusters of tiny glass rods resemble flowers.
Simple metal pulls embedded with millefiori beads and other blown-glass beads turn the functional into a work of art.
Some craft artists find inspiration from exotic fabrics, rich jewels, and combinations of shapes.
One beautiful collection of kitchen cabinet pulls makes use of satiny paint finishes, Swarovski crystals, and stacked cubes, discs, and cones.
Are they bonbons? Are they flowers from another planet? Are they treasures stolen from a sheik's private treasure trove? Do you admire stained glass windows? You don't need to add one to your house to enjoy them in your home.
You can buy tiny kitchen cabinet knobs that resemble tiny church windows, pieced together like a miniature glass puzzle.
Bright colors, subtle metallics, and dichriotic and fused glass treatments make bold artistic statements in a mere 1 ½ inches.
Avoid the mundane.
Consider the exotic.
