Cabinet Handle Backplates

Cabinet handle backplates provide a simple way to introduce additional detail and definition to cabinetry. Positioned behind handles or knobs, they create a more structured and considered appearance while also offering practical benefits such as protecting cabinet surfaces.

Suitable for use across kitchens, wardrobes and fitted furniture, backplates can be paired with a wide range of cabinet handles and knobs to enhance both traditional and contemporary designs.

What Are Cabinet Handle Backplates?

Backplates are fitted between the handle or knob and the cabinet surface, creating a framed detail around the hardware. They can be used to emphasise the shape of a handle, introduce contrast, or add a more decorative element to otherwise simple cabinetry.

Using Backplates Across Cabinetry

Backplates are commonly used with both handles and knobs across cupboards, drawers and doors. They are particularly effective on painted cabinetry and shaker-style designs, where they help define the hardware and introduce an additional layer of detail.

They can also be used as a practical solution when replacing hardware, helping to cover existing marks or fixings while maintaining a clean finish.

Coordinating Backplates with Handles and Knobs

Backplates can be paired with a wide range of cabinet handles and knobs to create a cohesive and more detailed scheme. When selected in matching finishes, they help unify hardware across cabinetry while allowing different handle types to be used within the same space.

Ranges such as the Banbury collection incorporate backplates as part of the design, offering a more integrated approach to this style of hardware.

Finishes and Materials

Available in a range of finishes, cabinet handle backplates can be used to complement or contrast with surrounding hardware. From darker finishes that create stronger definition to lighter metallic tones that blend more subtly with cabinetry, the choice of finish plays an important role in the final appearance.
