Join freelance kitchen designer Faye Newman as she reveals how to choose the perfect kitchen handles and hardware to elevate your traditional, transitional, or modern space.In this episode, filmed on location at the beautiful Hendel & Hendel studio in London, Faye tackles one of the most underestimated decisions in kitchen design: hardware. Often left to the very last minute, handles act as the "jewellery" of your kitchen and can completely make or break the final look of your renovation. Faye breaks down the three essential rules for choosing handles—proportion, ergonomics, and material finishes—and answers your most-asked questions, including the big debate on whether you can mix metal finishes. Whether you are designing a classic shaker or a sleek, modern space, this masterclass will help you nail those vital finishing touches.Key Takeaways: How to Master Kitchen HardwareAmount and Proportion is a regularly asked question! Learn when to use a single statement bar handle versus two cup handles, and why matching your handle length (like a 320mm bar) to your drawer width makes the whole design look professionally considered.Handles are the most touched part of your kitchen. A handle must be practical! Discover why heavy integrated appliances (like fridges and dishwashers) need a substantial grip, and how Blum's electronic servo drives can save you from battling with handleless freezer doors.Can you mix satin brass with matte black? Faye explains her "rules" for layering different material finishes, cooler vs. warmer tones, and textures cohesively without it looking messy.Pairing Handles by Kitchen Style:Traditional: Discover why cup handles, oval knobs, and detailed backplates perfectly complement the beading on classic in-frame shaker cabinetry.Transitional: Learn how to use statement hardware, like hammered or knurled finishes, to bridge the gap between classic and contemporary styles.Modern: The best choices for minimal slab doors, from sleek edge pulls to textured T-bars that add subtle interest without interrupting seamless lines.Why you should never choose a handle just from a picture. Faye explains the importance of testing the weight, grip, and finish in person.Best Moments:"This is what we call the jewellery of your kitchen. It's where you can really add a lot of personality within your space.""If you've got a big fridge, freezer, or dishwasher, those are the absolute must-haves to make sure you've got a decent handle on them. You want to get your fingers right behind it, pull it open, and not have to battle with it.""Make sure that you feel the handle you'll be working with... order a sample so you can feel the weight of them and see if they feel like a good quality handle.""Even though there's not much going on with modern handles from a detail perspective, I promise you from a design perspective, there's been lots of thought going on ergonomically.""Every time you walk into that kitchen, you look at that small detail and think, 'I've nailed this and I'm super happy.'"Special Thanks: A huge thank you to Hendel & Hendel for hosting this episode in their London studio and showcasing their stunning hardware collections.

Join interior design expert Tash Bradley as she reveals how to choose the perfect kitchen paint colours using light direction, colour theory, and personal style.In our landmark 100th episode, we are joined by the "Queen of Colour," Tash Bradley, Director of Interior Design at Lick. If you’ve ever stared at a wall of white paint samples and felt a sense of dread, this masterclass is for you. Tash demystifies the science of colour theory and shares her "function-first" framework for transforming your kitchen from a sterile showroom into a soulful, energetic hub. Tash proves that colour isn't just about aesthetics—it’s about how you want to feel every morning when you walk into your kitchen.Key Takeaways: How to Master Colour in Your KitchenWhen going bold with colour, Tash suggests buying a piece of clothing in a colour you are wanting to choose. If you feel confident wearing a colour, you’ll likely love living with it.Knowing the position of your kitchen is essential when it comes to choosing colour in your home! Learn how to use a phone compass to identify your room's orientation and why a "warm neutral" is non-negotiable for North-facing rooms.Discover why a simple colour wheel is the ultimate shortcut to creating "complementary" and "analogous" schemes that look professionally designed.Avoiding the use of colour due to thinking of resale? Tash explains why injecting personality and "soul" actually helps buyers visualize themselves in your home.Learn why sampling is SO important to get the right colour undertone to suit your space.Best Moments:"Go outside, go into nature, go for a walk... Nature is the perfect colour palette. Whatever nature provides you as a colour palette, bring that into your homes.""Adding your personality is only going to increase the sale. It’s hard for a buyer to walk into a blank 'white box' and visualise living there. The more soul it has, the more likely you are to sell it.""I want to break down the idea that kitchens should be clinical. Bring in pictures, artwork, and lamps. I have three table lamps in my kitchen—they create little pockets of calm before the chaos of the day starts.""Always sample. Oh, my God. Always sample! If there’s one motto I need, it’s: Why don't people sample? Once you see how a colour looks throughout the day, you're winning.""Painting your cabinets is the single most cost-effective way to make a £30k kitchen look like a £60k kitchen."About the Guest: Tash BradleyTash is the Director of Interior Design at Lick and a leading voice in colour psychology.
