6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoI used blue glass knobs on my pax wardrobe. I went with a square shape to incorporate the vintage with the more modern.
i used glass knobs on my dark kitchen cabinets to tie my dark door glass door knobs.
knobs are easy enough to switch out. Give it a try if you do not like it switch it out.

Comments (15)lynn, apologies. I see that I misread your initial post. My only advice about the pull you posted would be to get one and make sure there's enough space behind it to grab it comfortably. This is a tip I learned here on GW. By searching the finished kitchen photos you can see all kinds of knobs and pulls on white cabinets. This will give you an idea of whether you like the contrast provided by a darker metal against the white background or whether you prefer less contrast....See MoreHow can you give a modern look to a kitchen with stained cabinets?
Comments (35)I'll leave it to others to offer you aesthetic advice but I hope you don't mind my 2 cents' worth regarding your proposed kitchen lay-out. You have a large space to work with - how wonderful! - but I don't think you're making the best use of the space. Is your island positioned as far from the perimeter as the overhead plan view shows? That aisle looks to be nearly 7 ft. That's a ridiculously wide aisle between your cook top and island and prep sink. Move the island closer to give you a 48" between island counter and perimeter counter. That will also make it easier to arrange table and chairs in your breakfast area.How do you plan to arrange a table and chairs in the breakfast area? The door into the space could cause issues. The space looks to be 10 ft wide. If your table is 42" wide, that gives you 39" aisles at the top and bottom. If you plan to position the table towards the left end of the breakfast area, the door's swing will come close to the table (most exterior doors are 36" wide). Whoever is sitting near the door will need to get up and move out of the way. Do you have pantry cabs as shown in the overhead plan? I don't see any in your elevation drawings. If not, that means your fridge is all the way to the right with the oven/MW column to its left. What counter do you intend to use as a fridge landing area? Where do you intend to set grocery bags to unload into the fridge? I strongly recommend that you place the island's prep sink at the end closest to the clean-up sink so that you can use the island counter closest to the fridge as additional fridge landing space. It's still going to be farther than NKBA's recommended 48" minimum distance but at least you won't have a sink in the way. Do you have plans for the wall area opposite of the fridge and oven/MW column? The overhead drawing doesn't show any cabinets here. Seems like a lost opportunity and a great place for pantry cabs, a drop zone and/or a breakfast station/beverage/snack area....See MoreMedia cabinet glass door

6 years agoI would like those last ones on cabinet doors -- like the top of an armoire with drawers below. I don't think I would put those on drawers, which is what I thought you were looking for.
I saw these when picking out some others and liked them -- idea of the glass but with a more modern shape.

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoHere is the Besta wall. I wanted to repaint with a darker color but couldn't make a decision so we installed without new paint (needed to get it in place so we could put things away).
We need to take the speakers off dollies I guess.
So any thoughts for knobs/pulls? I want to add an accent lamp on each cabinet for ambient lighting so would appreciate suggestions for that as well!

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoI'm open to other feedback as well. We didn't fill the wall with cabs because it might feel dark and oppressive. This is our only living room, and what you see on the wall fills the length of space save for a couple inches on each end.
We plan to add some shelving above for all our books that are still boxed up in the garage.
View from the fireplace side:
Also, in case someone is wondering, the cabinet on the right side is floating because DH needed space for his sub AND there are a lot of plugs and ports on the wall behind it. It might be neat to build a little secret 3-sided front on legs to cover the space (using an Inviken front) but its an unlikely, low priority task...and DH probably won't want any obscured bass.
