Timber cabinet handles have become increasingly popular as people seek to bring warmth and texture into their living spaces.

In recent years, the trend for incorporating natural materials into home design has grown exponentially, and one of the most popular ways to do so is through the use of timber.

The trend for biophilic interiors (where elements of nature are brought in) shows no signs of slowing, but it’s important to get the right balance, so that not every element in your space is timber.

Timber cabinet handles are an excellent way to add the perfect amount of warmth to interiors without overpowering the space, and one company that is leading the way in this new trend is Touch Handles, a residential cabinetry hardware supplier that offers a vast range of timber cabinet handles to suit any taste.

“Adding timber elements to a space helps to soften and add warmth to it. Particularly if there are lots of hard finishes, clinical whites and glass,” says Touch Handles’ Chelsea Currie. “It also fits in nicely with a wide range of different cabinetry and interior styles.”

Timber cabinet handles can be found in a vast range of styles, from modern and sleek to rustic and traditional and can either be paired with a similar interior style or juxtaposed against it.

“This means contemporary kitchen cabinetry can be warmed up with timber handles and classic cabinetry designs can benefit from the sleekness of some of our contemporary handles,” says Currie.

Touch Handles is an Australian-based company offering a large range of timber cabinet handles in contemporary shapes under the ‘Touchmade Handles’ brand, an Australian-made range that showcases the best of local craftsmanship.

Handmade in the Macedon Ranges, Australia, Touch Handles’ handles are made out of upcycled timber, making them an eco-friendly choice for anyone who wants to ensure their renovation has a positive impact on the environment.

One of the standout features of the timber handle range is the wide variety of options available. With eight different designs and five different timber species to choose from (including American oak, Victorian ash, blackbutt, burnt ash and spotted gum), there is a handle to suit any cabinetry style, from sleek modern designs to classic and traditional cabinetry. Additionally, each handle design is available raw, allowing customers to finish it to match their cabinetry perfectly.

One of the newest additions to the Touch Handles’ timber handle range is The Block range. These feature a simple and modern design that is perfect for contemporary kitchen designs. Additionally, the Chicama Wave timber handle design is a fresh and modern take on the classic timber handle, making it a popular choice among those who want something unique.

But it’s not just the variety of designs that makes Touch Handles’ timber handle range so appealing, it’s also the quality of the materials used.

“Our timber handles are made from ethically sourced, upcycled timber, ensuring that each handle is both beautiful and eco-friendly. By choosing Touch Handles’ handles, customers can feel good about their purchase, knowing that they are making a positive impact on the environment.”
