Black Kitchen Handles: the Modern Default

Matt black has become the go-to handle finish in UK kitchens for good reason: it works on almost any door colour, hides fingerprints better than polished metal, and sharpens up both modern slab doors and classic shaker fronts. This collection gathers our 53 black kitchen handles from £2.30, with matching knobs available across most ranges.

Styles in Matt Black

The knurled Aurelia round T-bar is the collection's bestseller — its textured grip and slim profile suit handleless-look kitchens and add detail up close without shouting. The Amelia knurled T-bar is its squarer sibling, the Dimora D-shaped pull gives the easiest full-hand grip for drawers, and the Vandon traditional T-bar carries the matt black look into shaker and farmhouse kitchens where you want modern hardware on classic doors.

Pairing Black Hardware With Your Doors

On white and light grey kitchens, black handles create the defined, graphic look you see across modern kitchen design. On navy, forest green and charcoal doors they read tonal and quietly expensive. With timber and wood-effect doors, black hardware grounds the warmth and stops the scheme feeling rustic. If you are mixing hardware, black pairs particularly well with brass accents — black handles on base units with gold kitchen handles or knobs above is a combination that consistently works.

Sizes and Fitting

Black handles here run from 96mm to 320mm hole centres, including the dual-fit sizes (96-128mm, 128-160mm, 192-224mm) that make replacing existing handles painless — measure between your screw hole centres and match the number. Screws are included. For wide pan drawers, go long (224mm-320mm) or fit a pair; details on drawer sizing live in the drawer handles guide.

Complete the Look

Matching black knobs for wall units are in the kitchen knobs collection, and the wider black handles range covers black hardware beyond the kitchen. Carrying black through to internal doors? Our black door handles collection matches lever handles, bathroom kits and locks to the same matt black tone.

Compare Before You Commit

The full multi-finish range is at kitchen handles if you are still weighing black against brass or nickel. With free UK delivery and handles from £2.30, ordering one black handle to hold against your doors is the cheapest design decision you will make in the whole renovation.
