Sometimes it’s the littlest things that make the biggest difference when it comes to refreshing your space. Sure, a fresh coat of paint can do wonders, but think smaller — like swapping out cabinet pulls and knobs. While stylish drawer pulls can cost a pretty penny, IKEA is coming in clutch again with a set of affordable brass knobs and drawer pulls that will take your kitchen from blah to beautiful in a single afternoon.

The IKEA GRIBBOL knobs and pulls are a fresh and modern brushed brass that makes them look so much more expensive than their $5 price tag. Made in a sleek rectangular shape, the post is situated at one end so the knobs are easy to grab or hook your finger around.

“I bought these to replace old knobs on my shutters in my kitchen area,” one IKEA reviewer wrote. “They look great with my other accessories in my kitchen. Just the right size and you can mount them in a variety of ways.”

You can also pick up the longer handles with posts at either end to use on drawers or kitchen cabinets with two holes already drilled. Both the knobs and the handles can be purchased in black and brushed silver as well as brass, so you can choose the right finish to match your aesthetic. 

“Just set up our BESTA and used the GRIBBOL handles. They are beautiful, great quality, have weight to them, [and] look so good!” another IKEA shopper wrote. Plus, you can’t beat the $10 price for two handles.

Give your kitchen an upgrade without having to undergo a massive makeover by switching out your knobs and handles. It takes just a few hours (and just a few bucks!) and can make such a difference.
