What is the better material for pulls: metal, wood or plastic? Is there any one answer that is better than others? Should you opt for one material in one part of the house and another in the other rooms? The choice is entirely a matter for the room, the type of atmosphere and the sense of decorating style that you have. After all, you are the one who is making this decision. You might like the look of the brass, but it may be too expensive to put on every cabinet in the kitchen. You could save the brass for a smaller area like the bathroom, for instance, and opt for a less expensive choice instead.

You do not always need to replace your drawer pulls, especially if they are the right material and the right look for the room. However, if they are loose or not fitting the right way, you might want to repair them before they pull off. Loose drawer pulls can make the room look untidy or unkempt and can bedevil the homeowner. One of the easiest ways to repair a loose drawer pull is with a little bit of nail polish on the screw. Tighten the screw back up and then paint over the top of it with the nail polish. This will keep the screw from loosening and backing itself back out. Another tip: add thin washers to the screw to make sure that it is as tight as possible without splitting the wood.
