Change Furniture Hardware, step by step

With a name like hardware… you’d think it would be tough to do. But switching out your drawer and door pulls is one of the easiest ways to pull of a especially fast makeover on a dime. For example, we hoped to add a bit more interest to our living room console table by the door:

So we picked up some graphic black and white pulls from Anthropologie to spice things up:

It only took about 30 seconds to remove the old knobs with a screwdriver from inside each drawer, and popping the new ones in place was a snap.

At simply $8 a pop, the new knobs are hardly a large investment. And they add so much punch and personality to our basic $99 Target console table. We especially enjoy how their graphic black and white pattern complements our black and white wall of frames.

So if you are looking to transform a piece of furniture for less than the cost of a can of paint (and a heckova lot less work), look no further than some brand spankin’ new hardware.
