I think it's a very cool idea!! I decided to do pulls also on my doors below the sink. Maybe I'll consider knobs for some of my narrower drawer stacks. I'll have to see how it'll look but I love idea in theory!

If you like it, then I'm glad you did it! I don't like the look of what appear to be two tiny dots (knobs) on a large drawer. The scale bothers me. But that's just me. I'm sure when your kitchen is done and you post pics it'll look great!

Congrats on making a decision! I'm having soooo much trouble making decisions lately on my reno, so when someone else makes one it gives me a boost! ;)

Thanks for the support guys!Picking hardware was kind of excruciating for me. It was included with my cabinets so I ended up picking from a more limited selection in the cabinet showroom. But first I scanned the internet and HD and Lowes, and overwhelmed myself! I ended up with a simpler design than I originally liked, but I have simple shaker cabs, the fancier ones looked too fancy. I'm hoping they will be delivered in time for installation with the cabinets. I think knowing we were getting down to the wire helped me decide!

That combination will look fine. There are no rules anymore. I have clients who have done every possible combination, it is just what looks good to you. Back in the day before easy opening/closing drawer guides were the norm you had wood on wood drawer guides that would swell when the humidity was high so you needed a pull to grab onto in order to get the drawer open. That is not the case anymore so anything goes.

It seems to be entirely a matter of personal taste. If you're happy with it, that's what matters! It sounds lovely and I hope you'll post some pics when you're done. :)

I agree picking cabinet hardware is excruciating, change my mind several times. Your all right there are no rules go with what you think looks good .We have a small galley kitchen so I am going with pulls on the lowers, using larger pulls on wide drawers and smaller on all other drawer and doors, Then T-knobs on the uppers. What I really wanted cost $15. a piece I found similar ones on-line for 2.50 - 4.50. Ordered smaples and they are awesome quality.

the knobs vs. pulls vs. horizontal vs. vertical was the part that caused me the most angst.

For the first week after the hw went in, i walked in the kitchen every day and thought I'd made mistakes (should have used knobs on the uppers.. should have used all the same size.. should have mounted them higher.. ) ... but it was all in the getting used to it. I'd seen hw'less cabs for so long the bling was jarring :) Now, they seem like all the pulls are perfectly right and have been there since inception.

I'm sure yours will be just perfect!
and have a glass of wine and celebrate one more decision down and one step closer to climbing out of decision prison.

Here's another funny thing.
We are leasing a house for ski season weekends.

I'm sitting here typing in this rental house - new custom built 2006 home. The kitchen is nice - good layout works well for the 4 adults, 4 kids... I've thought about how functional it is and it is quite functional although the Moen faucets are starting to fail and the micro over the counter totally wastes the space under it for anything but a larger toaster oven and they don't have one...

But after reading this post I had to go look at the cabinet hw. I never even noticed it! (and we rented this house 2 years ago too). It is all ORB and knobs and no pulls anywhere. It is on knotty kind of hickory so in my defense other dark spots exist.. The knobs on the uppers i think now that i look at it are higher than I would have instructed them to go... but hey.... I never even noticed....

and i'm active follower of this TKO :)

FWIW...

We have a complete mix in our kitchen. Pull-out pantries have pulls; drawer stacks have two cup pulls on each drawer; some cabs have knobs (for instance under sink cab doors, over the fridge cab doors). And on the island we have pulls I found at an architectural salvage store that are placed horizontally on the drawers. The only thing in common is the colour but we love it and I think it works.

I left the decision for hardware WAY too late because I didn't realise how difficult it would be - too much choice out there, for sure!

I'm sure yours will look great; proportion is maybe even more important than shape or style.

Good luck!

I have a mix of knobs and pulls. Most doors on the base have pulls but some have knobs too. Scale wasn't an issue because my knobs are mixed animals so some are quite large. I think it's a great look :).

I have knobs, bridge pulls, bin pulls, bin pulls w cards, skeleton keys and vintage fridge hardware. In orb, pn, antique brass, wrought iron, and mercury. So, yep ... anything goes.

One thing that DID NOT go was front mounted hardware. If your selection has visible screws, it may be inappropriate to mount on d/w, freezer drawers, etc. I had to return all my bridge pulls and find new ones that mounted from the back (with faux screws on the front).

Thanks guys, I've been watching cooking shows today and obsessing over hardware! Guess what, America's Test kitchen used knobs on drawers so it must be ok! (or maybe it was the other show I watched?)
I wanted a real mix of hardware, yes I love yours Igloo, but I made too many other choices! I got too tired out. DH will be around tomorrow for install so I told him to decide on placement FOR me!

Yes, "decision prison" LOL!! I'm refusing to decide on a backsplash for now, even though we have a history of never finishing everything! I think I would just pick something safe, which might be ok, but I don't want to regret it later.
Sooo anxious to see it in real life and see if it all comes together!!!!

PS I'm reading those posts on hardware placement even though I said DH would decide. Sigh, I'm not usually this controlling, or obsessive, or whatever it is. But I know I'm not alone! Thanks for being that way too when it comes to kitchens!

We did 2 knobs on the bigger drawers and one on smaller drawers and I love it. I was sure we would do bin pulls, but I just couldn't find affordable ones in the size I needed. Our kitchen is mostly done, but the other house renovations are still going, so I haven't posted any finished pics yet... I love how the knobs ended up looking!

I am facing the same decisions 9 years later it seems. I decided to put a larger knob on the one larger drawer in the vanity. It is a bottom drawer centered under two cabinet doors. I think it will look fun. I may use the larger kobs all the way around but I want to decide after it is installed. I was hoping to find advice for placement of knobs on the doors.

Brian would love to see a photo

I’ve been looking for the same type of photos! Thinking I’m going to do at least some knobs on drawers although the ones I’m thinking of going with are a bit longer. I like the look of the knob on the drawer with pulls on the doors below. https://mobile.kitchensource.com/cabinet-hardware/jea-752-19bnbdl.htm
