help with kitchen hardware size
Are these kitchen pulls the right size? I have a mix of 24 inch and 40 inch cabinets with 7 inch pulls on the cabinets and 6 inch pulls on the drawers. I’m about to paint the cabinets grey and wondering if I should keep the 7 inch or go with all 6 inch or 4 inch pulls instead? I have a picture with the 4 inch pull next to the 6 inch on the drawer for reference. Thank you !! Also the color sample is NOT the color we are using for the cabinets sorry I should have taken that down. I'm painting the cabinets Amherst Grey by Benjamin Moore

help! cabinet hardware - am I using too many different sizes?
Comments (19)Many people here have used a variety of sizes, styles, and finishes in their kitchens. Look through the FKB and try to stay focused on the cab hardware (I always get distracted and forget what I originally started out looking for). I love Sabjimata's kitchen. Although she didn't provide a link to her kitchen and hardware above, I hope she won't mind if I do. Look around not only the details page I've linked to, but the before & after pics so you can study where she used each kind of hardware. Don't let your GC bully you into using all one style, size, and finish. It makes it easier for him and is what's done by the majority--that doesn't make it the best solution. Do what YOU like and what will make you love YOUR kitchen!!! Here is a link that might be useful: Sabjimata's kitchen details...See MoreKitchen cabinet hardware size dilemma
Comments (9)Many interior decorators like the use of knobs for the cabinet doors and pulls for the drawers. After considering all of my options, I decided to go the same size pull for all the doors and drawers. To my way of seeing it, that just made the kitchen more cohesive. Once I made the decision to go with all pulls, I did consider different sizes for different sized doors and drawer. However, I did not like the appearance at all. So just went with one size for all. It is very important to use pulls with smooth edges to prevent snagging. For example look for the first type, not the second type shown below. These are just my guidelines for your consideration. I have been attempting to get the pictures to post at a decent size and they will not - they are gigantic. But look at the European style (the ones that can snag) and the cabinet handles (which for the most part are smooth ended - but there is one that is more in the European style) at this link.

Comments (27)@backstroae Ours are Berenson Hearthstone. I just went and measured and the larger pulls do stick out a bit more than the smaller ones, but not by a lot. On our one 30" drawer we used a 160mm pull as the 12" looked too big. But seriously... if you can buy one of each pull size and hold them up to each drawer, do so... we would have not bought the right sizes if we had just guessed. Also, to anyone who reads this who may be considering Berenson brushed nickel hardware. It is fantastic and shows no smudges no matter how greasy my hands are... they look perfect still. We used cheaper pulls in the bathrooms and those show every fingerprint (as does Kohler's BN hardware so I guess it sort of matches)....See Morehelp with hardware sizes
Comments (2)IMO I never use 2 pulls on a wid drawer they are never a good idea since when you use them you always have a different pull strenght in your different hand a so anice long pull you use from the center is IMO always best . I like simple stainless pulls from Lee Valley they come in a huge choice of sizes so ypou can do something like this where the pulls ar ein proprtion to your cabinet sizes and I often do some hrizontal and some vertical Use painter stape to figure out the proportions and do not be rushed into this part . IMO 30% 0f the drawer width looks too small...See Morecherie w

here's amherst w/similar hardware
maybe go w/a two tone?
I did a similar color on my island, and went w/white everywhere elseI also used 6" handleson the pantry and taller cabs, i went with the next size up,,128mm I believe. (7 3/4 or something similar )
I'm trying to post a pic***
whatever you have in your first photo, i think that looks fine. on your smaller drawers, I would not go over 7". 5-6 would be fine.

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoI don't like the style ( hardware ) on the drawers at all. You can't make them shaker modern and the upper drawers are unfortunately not slab. Try a different style .. More transitional ONE size 5 ish on everything. You won't catch your pockets either.

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoPainter came today and removed all the cabinet doors and drawer fronts to sand and started the primer so I have a few days to decide... excuse the mess, this was taken this evening so primer looks dark in pic without natural light will try to take one with sunlight tomorrow. I actually like the primer color it's more of a blue grey so trying to find something like that in a lighter grey.
