do you have a picture of your kitchen or of the door style?

I can't download pic but it's a wide rail shaker door style;

stile and rail width is 2 3/4 " on a door that's 11 3/4 X 15 3/4"

I also have shaker cabinets and I love my long linear pulls at the top of the cabinets. The uppers I have shorter pulls that run vertical and I like it.

If you have colored tape at home, you should try placing a bunch where you'd consider putting the pulls and trying out a few options before drilling any holes! Best of luck with your update.

if they aren't lacquered yet you could cut the uppers to have a 45 degree bevel on the inside

along the bottom rail

yes, great idea with the colored tape but cabs will be delivered just before they are installed. I'm looking at a lot of Houzz pics. I like the idea of linear pulls at the top of the cabinet but still unsure how to handle the uppers

my daughter did 12 inch long round handles and they look pretty good.

Have you considered edge pulls?

Be aware that cabinetry door clearances are pretty tight and wouldn't always allow for the between-door pulls unless that was planned in to the construction. One of my favorite modern pull designers is Assa Abloy, particularly the Valli & Valli collection. You almost have to see these in person to appreciate how sleek they are. Something about the shape just makes them unique.

Edge pulls sound like a very good compromise for me. I"ll contact my door manufacturer to check if it can be done.

For ease of use, Darbuka's picture above is perfect, and exactly what I have here.

@darbuka what is the model of top knob you used? Looking for that in black. And is there a rule of thumb you used to decide on sizes. We will have different size drawer base cabinets. A few door base cabinets and uppers.

also did you pick before cabinets were installed or after? my cabinet maker is wanting me to decide but i only have his drawings to go from as they're being made still.

Thanks.

@Trish Walter...here’s the link to the pulls. At least I think this is them. I saw them in a store display, and really didn‘t pay attention to the name. I was more interested in how they felt in my hand. https://www.topknobs.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Aspen+2+rounded+pull

As for the sizes on the various drawers, I’ll have to measure, and get back to you. I do recall taking the advice of my KD.

@darbuka I love your backsplash! I have been looking for a green like that. (is it green?). Would you mind telling me where you got the tile?
