Show me pics of your cabinet hardware placement please :-)
Comments (10)We have 2 pulls on drawers >= 30" wide. So, our 18", 24" & 27" drawers have one pull/drawer while our 30", 31", 33", & 36" drawers all have 2 pulls/drawer. So far I not only like the look, but they "function" just fine. I can open drawers with one or tow hands...the drawers seem to open smoothly either way. These drawers are 30" wide (warming drawer goes in the middle): This one is 24" wide: A more recent view: The drawers next to the right of the DW are 27" wide....See MorePlease help with hardware pull placement
Comments (9)Thanks everyone for your replies. I did as you suggested, gooster, and taped them to the cabinets. Surprisingly, they looked MUCH different on the cabinets than they do sitting on a counter top. I did not even notice that the tops had a convex curve to them ... I thought they were straight! And unfortunately, the light reflecting off them really accentuates the curve and it is not quite the look I was going for. So, it is back to the drawing board for me. For anyone else going through the knob/pull selection process, actually putting them up on the cabinet is extremely helpful. Even when my DH held them up to the cabinets, I did not notice that the top edge was curved outwards. Yes, they are still lovely pulls, just not the pulls for me. Sigh....See Morecabinet hardware placement
Comments (2)If you have drawer banks, I'd think about positioning the handles/pulls in the top stile/part of the drawer rather than the centre, as it will be easier to reach to pull drawer open. So, the first (narrow) drawer might have the pull centered top to bottom, and the rest could be positioned the same distance from the top of the drawer. Or maybe better to position pull in centre of the top of the bottom drawer stiles and then position top drawer handles the same distance from the top. (Of course I am referencing the Shaker type style of door which is what I have) Once you pick a location, as long as you remain consistent, I'm sure it will look fine- just play/practice with which distance feels most comfortable for you....See MoreCabinet Hardware - Help Please!
Comments (14)Um... I kinda like 'em low, too. Mostly, I just like your hardware! :) Are you short? Does it make a difference? Think if you have stacked cabinets, for example. If they're lower, could you actually reach them? (You must be TALL!! :) If you're short, that doesn't matter....See Moresuzanne_sl
