I was reading on the archives and thought I read that if you use knobs a lot it wears the finish..?

Why would knobs and pulls wear differently? I think the finish might get worn on anything you handle a lot. Just getting good quality here might help... I would worry about any really cheap ones you find - any sort of "coating" might wear off. (Remember those old plasticy-chrome-coated pulls?)

As for all pulls - I did it and love the way it looks. But it's really a matter of individual taste. :-)

We did all pulls too because I strongly prefer the ergonomics of pulls over knobs. It's a personal preference, so choose whichever option you like the feel and look of best.

All pulls in our kitchen. We just prefer the look, especially with our style kitchen. Some kitchens I've seen here, look awesome with a mix of both. Another vote for individual taste!

I was just thinking about this the other week, and was actually going to write a post....

I like the look of mixing pulls with knobs. However, my dilemma was what to put where! My KD put me on the spot when she asked me what kind of handles I wanted. But, I just could not make my mind up about where to put handles and where to put knobs. So, I just told her to arrange them whichever way she saw fit. So, ( I think) she has all the upper cabs with pull handles and all lower cabs and drawers with knobs.
I hope this will be okay, function and looks wise.
Is there a right or a wrong way regarding where one should place pulls and knobs? (As you can see, I am still agonizing over this decision lol!!) Any thoughts?
TIA

I mixed too! Here are some pics!

You know, not knowing what to put where was probably part of it for me, too. I've seen kitchens with knobs on the uppers and pulls on the lowers. Or pulls on the uppers and knobs on the lowers. Or knobs on doors and pulls on drawers. Or vice versa. And then what do you do with the dishwasher panel (if your dishwasher is paneled, or if a woodchuck is planning to chuck wood on it).

I decided to get nice big handles that wouldn't cramp my fingers and put them on everything. They were heavy-duty enough for the dishwasher panel, and I only needed one of them on the 30" drawers (instead of two knobs).

But I've seen some combinations of knobs and pulls here that I've loved, so it's really just another one of those endless decisions - which cabinets, which finish, what height uppers, what countertop, what backsplash tile, etc. I tried to make a list of all the decisions I had to make over the course of this renovation. I gave up after my third glass of wine. ;-)

Whatever you decide to do will be correct. :-)

I like both. Knobs on uppers, pulls on lowers.

KD suggested pulls everywhere, so that is what I did, and I like it. But I probably would have liked mixed too.

FWIW -I'm doing knobs on all doors and pulls on all drawers.

I did what doinggirl did. Knobs on doors and pulls on drawers. In my weird mind it made sense to "pull" a drawer open! At least that is my excuse! There is no right or wrong. Whatever blows your skirt!

I also prefer knobs on cabinet doors and pulls on drawers, or all knobs. Easier to change out knobs if you want to change style/finish. As everyone else stated, there truly is no right or wrong, just personal preference!

I did all pulls as I was tired of catching my pockets on the base cabinet knobs in the old kitchen (it's a U shape, so I was often in a corner and would find myself stuck on the hardware ;-) I did have to use a few matching knobs on the spice drawers because the little square drawer fronts were too small for pulls, but I like the contrast.

I did pulls on drawers (2 on drawers > 30") & trash pullout, knobs on doors, and knobs on the 6" spice pullouts flanking the cooktop. I love the look and was very happy until this week!

This week a couple of the knobs have loosened up & turned on the most-used doors...and it's only been 6 months! I'm now wondering if this is going to be an ongoing maintenance item! OK, it's minor and I'll live, but I had not anticipated this (we had all pulls in our old kitchen).

I still like the look. Would I do it over again? I don't know...maybe/maybe not.
