What hardware would you recommend for this drawer?

12 years ago

Hi all....I need some advice on hardware, if you would be so kind :)

The cabinets are inset, if that helps at all and although it probably doesn't make a difference for this question, the sink will not be an apron front as pictured.

In the rendering below, I will be putting knobs on each of the doors you see on either cabinet run (they're both tray storage), as well as on the sink cabinet.

For a visual, it's this one:

The top drawers of each stack will have cup pulls on top:

And "handle" pulls on the bottom 2 drawers of each stack:

However, I'm not sure what to put on the top drawer of the narrow stack of drawers between the dishwasher and range. What the rendering does not show is that there will be an electrical outlet on top of the top drawer, since there's no space on the wall due to the window. I'm thinking a cup pull won't look right there, but not sure if the handle or knob will either...

I also saw this finger pull:

...but perhaps I shouldn't introduce a 4th type of hardware??

Sorry for the too-large pics and thanks for reading and for any thoughts you may have! Here's the kitchen drawing:

I would do the smallest knob, not introduce another style.

Interesting discussion & very useful. I redid my kitchen 20 years ago & am now in the process again - hopefully wiser. Here are my thoughts. Things I got last time that I really like sink tilt-out tray tray dividers over fridge - I'm short, so it makes this high space more usable. Use it to store cookie sheets, cutting boards, muffin tins and trays large drawers for pots and pans - as everyone seems to agree, these are much more convenient than standard shelves Things I got last time that I wish I hadn't spice rack inside cabinet door - I have a small kitchen, so this seemed like a great space saver. However, the weight of the rack and spices meant the latches on that door were always breaking. I finally removed the door & left the cabinet as open shelves. Pullout cutting board - the problem is that you couldn't cut on it by pulling it out partway, it had to be completely removed from its slot. Then it had to be carefully replaced after cleaning. Just too much trouble. What I'm getting this time sink tilt-out tray tray dividers over fridge even more drawers for pots and pans pull out containers for trash & recycle different kind of lazy susan in the corner - have one now, which is useful, but stuff falls off the turntable and is lost in the back. This supposedly doesn't have that problem. We'll see. Anyway, good luck with your choices.

What is your kitchen style? Any particular look that you are trying to achieve? Will black porcelain hardware work? Alternatively oiled rubbed bronze or brass?

There were a lot of houses built in the middle of the last century in the US with cheap, hollow core flat panel doors. When people refer to cheap flat panel doors that's what they're thinking of. As the previous posters have shown, there are more expensive, very attractive flat panel doors available. Maybe not at big box stores, but if you live in a major metro area you should be able to find them somewhere locally. The price of lumber has been all over the place the last two years, and while it's not at its peak, it's still high as compared to pre-pandemic, so be prepared for sticker shock.

I like the handle pull the best, but the knob is nice too (it might be a good way to sort of finish things off on the stack.) Either one will add good continuity to the room. I wouldn't add in a fourth style, too complicated. Good luck and congrats on the reno!
