Bow handles bring a gentle arch to cupboard doors, cabinet fronts and drawers. The raised centre gives the hand room to pull, while the curved outline softens straight furniture lines. This collection contains 43 designs in a broad mix of proportions, from compact traditional pulls to long, slimline handles for wide drawers. It is a useful place to start when you want a handle with more shape than a straight bar but less visual weight than an ornate cup pull.
Choose the curve that suits your furniture
Although every design follows a bow-like profile, the details make a clear difference. Asteria has a clean, rounded shape; Loch and Merle use a more pronounced curve; Viga and Ursa take a slimmer approach; and Pipo adds a traditional feel. Other named families in the range include Floria, Frye, Tucana, Zeller and Rochelle. Consider the scale of the door or drawer as well as the style. A fine bow can keep a small bedside cabinet neat, while a longer pull can give a bank of kitchen drawers a stronger horizontal line.
Measure the hole centres before ordering
If you are replacing existing handles, measure from the centre of one screw hole to the centre of the other. Live options in this collection run from 64mm to 320mm hole centres, but each product has its own size selection. Merle, for example, is offered from 96mm to 224mm on its polished chrome listing, while the matt black Viga family extends from 128mm to 320mm. Do not choose by overall appearance alone: open the product page and match its stated hole-centre option to your furniture.
Finishes for modern and traditional schemes
The current range includes matt black, polished chrome, satin nickel, antique brass, antique copper, antique silver, satin copper and gold finishes. Polished chrome can sharpen pale or high-gloss furniture; matt black creates a stronger outline; satin nickel is quieter; and antique finishes can sit naturally with painted timber and traditional cabinetry. Where several handles will be used together, order the same named family and finish rather than assuming similarly named finishes from different ranges will look identical.
Build a practical handle scheme
Use one size throughout for a calm, repeated rhythm, or choose related sizes from the same family for different front widths. A common approach is to use shorter pulls on doors and wider versions on large drawers, provided the drilling pattern works. Prices currently span £2.30 to £6.99 across the live collection, with individual variants priced separately. Review the selected size and current price on each product page before completing the order.
Browse the collection by finish, family and hole centres, then compare two or three candidates against the actual width of your cabinet or drawer front. That small check makes it much easier to find a bow handle that looks properly proportioned rather than simply close enough.
