What is your style and BTW what a shame you put cabinets on the window wall. As for the hardware something simple in a bar pull for the drawers and knobs for the uppers in metal to match the lighting.As for stools I would need to know a bit more about the rest of the area furniture around the kitchen , IMO no more wood for sure.

Patricia - I would say our style is transitional. I totally agree with you about no more wood, but we still got our last dining set. It is light color white oak with a cream color linen backing chairs. Still kind of attached to it =(

How about some color

Patricia - We would love to have more color for sure. Leaning towards orange

pink_peony - Is there any guidelines to choose what length of handle pull for the drawers?

Depending on the rest of the furniture - what will be seen from the kitchen - I agree with adding color and/or pattern with the counter stools. A fun animal print for "look at me!" Less bold, perhaps a large plaid or some type of geometric. Then it won't matter if the stools have wooden legs. I wouldn't go with solid upholstery if the dining chairs are cream linen.

So glad to see people advocating knobs on top and pulls on bottom; I did that out of sheer desperation based on style of cabinetry trim (my fault - custom built) and thought I was so wrong, lol.

Depends on your drawer width. I would do the knobs on the uppers and then most likely two 6-8" pulls depending on the width of the drawer.

Another nice look is to do one long pull on the drawers. I did this in my study and love it.

The idea of orange would look great with your wood tone. You could step it up and do something fun and unexpected like a neutral linen stool but then do a fun fabric in the orange on the back.

Or if animal print isnt your thing you could do something like this all with different fabric on the back

pink_peony - where are these chairs from?

These are all created in the Ballard Design Custom Plus line.

I like minimal bar stools, ones that don't look like chairs.

brass based counter height bar stool with Trent Cayenne crypton fabric would be a great choice!

Michelle will they do a contrasting fabric on the back on this one? This would look stunning on the back of this stool with the russet orange on the front with the cabinets

That one doesn't have that option, but with that counter stool, I think I prefer it solid. The brass finish would look great with Mr. Hsu's lighting, and the shape of the base repeats the shape of his exhaust hood really nicely.

I almost drove people around me crazy sending pictures of knobs and handles. Now I know I was just on decision overload. Below are the final choices. The only thing I would like to adjust is the top two knobs in the third picture. The space is narrow and I think we will eventually scratch the wood as we grab them. Good luck.

we used the dark knobs under the island seating so they'd disappers.
