A user-configurable replacement control knob for use on a household appliance, such as a stove. The control knob can be used to replace originally-supplied control knobs and allows individuals to tailor the aesthetics of the appliance to suit their preferences. The knob is user-configurable for control rotational direction by installing one of a plurality of uniquely configured indicator inserts into a receptacle on the forward side of the knob. The knob may also be adapted to interface with differing appliance control shaft configurations by inserting one of a plurality of torque inserts into a receptacle on the rearward side of the knob. Decorative faces on the knobs are visually fashioned in various color schemes and tactilely shaped to resemble various decorative forms that may be used to enhance or accent an overall kitchen décor. The replacement control knob provides the same function as a standard appliance control knob and allows appliance control knobs to be used as room decorating accessories.
