Unless you built your home from scratch, you probably had little say on the design of the cabinets in your kitchen, bathroom, or elsewhere. And it’s not like they’re small, insignificant parts of a room, either. If a complete overhaul or paint job isn’t in the cards, something as simple as switching up the hardware can really transform your space and bring it closer to the vision you had for your home. Flower-shaped knobs are a gorgeous, personality-filled solution that are relatively easy to apply. 

Start by removing the old knobs. If the knob are screwed on, use a screwdriver. If, alternatively, they’re attached to a bolt that’s then fastened with a nut, use a wrench to loosen the latter while keeping the former still. Once they’re out, inspect their length, as well as the thickness of the door in order to have an idea of how long the fastener on the new knob should be. Most knobs will come with the needed components for installation, and some, like the Sunflower Kitchen Drawer Pulls from Amyoxu, will include two different length screws for the perfect fit. If the knob already comes attached to a bolt, it’ll be unisize and may require cutting the excess, like in the Wood Carved Flower Knobs from Soffee Design. 

Keep in mind that the standard diameter of holes for cabinet knobs is ³⁄₁₆ of an inch. If the existing hole is larger or stripped, you’ll need to find specific knobs to avoid any damaging wobbliness or follow one of the many methods for repairing a stripped screw hole. Once you’ve made your choice, just clean the surface and attach! It sounds complicated, but it’ll be intuitive once you get started.

Once you’re done with the technical hassle, it’s time for the fun part — picking the knob! There are endless options available, varying in material, color, flower species and style. The person in the above video picked brass pentamerous flower-shaped knobs very similar to the DAPANIY Brushed Gold Cabinet Knobs. If you love the metallic vibe, there are plenty of other models available on Amazon like antique-looking zinc knobs, bulkier, more minimalist designs, and even ornate back plates to complement your flower knob. Worry not, fans of cooler tones — most metal cabinet hardware comes in beautiful silver options, too.

Still, flowers are all about color. So, for a daintier, more colorful appearance, try ceramic knobs. Some faithfully replicate the look of the real flower like the sunflower example above and the Rose Ceramic Knobs from ESreake Store, while others are more abstract and can even contain multiple hand-painted flower designs, creating a pattern reminiscent of vintage pottery. For stained wood furniture, swap outdated kitchen cabinet hardware for a trendy rustic alternative, like Perilla Home’s Hibiscus Flower Antique Knobs. Finally, if you’re looking to bring back the trend of beautiful glass doorknobs, there are delicate crystal options out there, available in multiple hues.
