Cabinet hardware... HELP! (Photos)

8 years ago

I have been a lurker on gw for a while, but haven't posted yet. I'm having a hard time picking out pulls/knobs for my beautiful new cabinets. Move in day is approaching and I can't seem to make a decision. I would call my style transitional with influences of vintage and industrial. Here is a picture of my kitchen (sorry about the messy counters):

My granite is lemon ice(aka typhoon green). I have all stainless appliances as well as a ss farmhouse sink.

Our kitchen is open to our dining and great rooms. We have glass apothecary pendants above our peninsula and a black candelabra chandelier over our dining table.

Light fixtures:

View from kitchen towards dining and great room(wood laminate throughout):

The kitchen is the only room that has a painted finish, the rest look like this:

I thought I had my heart set on cup pulls (I have to do two pulls or knobs on most drawers because of width) but now I'm second guessing. I want to stay traditional/vintage in my cabinet hardware but I could go eclectic! I am open to any and all suggestions! Help! TIA!

I would not want to stand at the sink with the handle pull going into my belly when I lean over or catching my pocket when I move. Go with the finger pull. It's hardly noticeable and more functional.

I think I like the brassier one (Option #1) as well as I do the champagne gold (#2) so I'd pick it. Actually, I may use it since I'm wanting a warm colored hardware to go with the gray cabinets we plan to go with. I'm also planning to use some gold light fixtures as well.

May I see photos of the cabinet hardware you picked?

Anglophilia, I am glad you said that. I have read that the pulls should be about 1/3 of the drawer length but I am not interested in having many different sizes if I don't have to.

@Beth Yes, they have it placed at 3” and I was suggesting in my OP to bring it down to 2” - however, based on what you posted it sounds like we could take it even lower/closer to the corner at 1-1/4” up/in, which may be more in line with what we want… clean lines, not making the hardware stand out (except for the pantry, we just like the forged/textured look of that hardware, but that’s an exception)… What do you think of my other suggested changes, per the OP (see below)? - Knobs on upper should be 2” from corner (currently 3”) - Drawer pulls should all be placed towards the top of the drawer, not middle - Lower cabinets should have the pulls placed horrizontal instead of vertical

I have the Aubrey pulls that Amber posted in my kitchen, and I love them. (I did cup pulls on all of the drawers.)

One of my big goals for my kitchen was to minimize cleaning effort. If you have the same requirement, be sure to consider how easy the hardware will be to keep clean. When I was trying to choose, I went to a couple of big box stores and bought one sample piece of lots of styles and various finishes, took them home and held them up, then returned them. (As long as you are careful with the packaging, they are still perfectly sellable for the store.) You may be surprised to find you like a finish you didn't think of. I think a dark finish might look good in there, since there are some dark veins in Typhoon Green and you have that black chandelier. Some people use one finish on the bottom and another on the top, and it works. It seems that antiqued brass is making a comeback, and that might be pretty with your granite, too. I have stainless appliances, sink, and faucet, but ORB knobs, pulls , and pendants. Keep an open mind and try a bunch. That Aubrey handle is very pretty, though. I also like your pendants.
