I like pulls on all. Either satin nickel or matte black or a warm brass , but remember the stainless appliances count as ONE finish. Limit the kitchen to three finishes.

I like satin nickel pulls , black / iron lighting

Or a warm brass pull and repeat that in lighting that combines the warm brass AND black. ...... Stools can be warm brass or matte black. ......fabric, leather etc!

Or a matte black pull.........and add a pop of a white shaded pendant.

A few more pictures that show more of the drawers. I also need to pick a finish for our door knobs with the thought that all in the house will get changed soon and that is stressing me out terribly for some reason!

I really appreciate all the suggestions!

I think brass or gold will enhance the cabinet finish best.

Here’s one option I like, comes in pulls and knobs

I’ll grab a brass handle today and see how it looks with the cabinets. Counters come tomorrow so I’m hoping that helps me find “my direction!”

Brass, or matte black...

What a lovely kitchen! Those cabinets are absolutely gorgeous. I personally would go polished or satin nickel on the cabinet hardware since those finishes tend to fade into the background the most and let the wood be the star.

Are you committed to the backsplash tile? I am doing my second kitchen with Taj Mahal and I don't see the Cloe as a great match. I would wait till the counters are in before making a final decision.

Chispa, pretty much yes; however, the gal helping me with the tile and countertops will come over once the countertops are in and give it a final look over. Our stone is really light compared to the other slabs we saw and has a lot of gray in it. In her shop everything came together well, but of course our lighting isn't the same as in her shop, so we have been waiting for both the cabinets and the countertops to arrive to make the final decision with everything in our kitchen. I appreciate your note of caution though as it's a big choice and I want it to be right. We have some back up choices though. I'm guessing from you using Taj Mahal a second time, that you must be happy with the choice!

That cabinet color is similar to ours and we used satin nickle knobs on doors and pulls on doors. Here’s a pic of how that looks on ours.

Very similar for sure! Thanks for including a picture of yours; It definitely helps! The satin nickel finish looks really nice in your room.

Kchamousis- what is the predominant metal throughout your home (exterior and interior)….you say you are doing new door hardware? What are existing bathroom shower fixtures too? I like to know the whole home before commenting on something like this.

I’d wait until kitchen was finished and would test a few different finishes/designs/size combinations. Suggest simple, clean lines so as not to overtake the cabinets or create any heaviness in kitchen and for that look, consider longer handles in the mix.

thinkdesignlive ... our house was remodeled 20 years ago with all brass. We just put in a new front door which has satin nickel on it, so I think that is probably the direction we will go with the doors in the house. My biggest battle was mostly that one of us felt we could mix and match our door handles depending on what went with the room, and I want to keep them all the same, so then we had to "agree."

Interior door hardware is more limited in finishes so I suggest you resolve that now. But your kitchen cabinet hardware could be different. Your cabinets look very beautiful. I would look for darker brushed nickel (think pewter tone but go Champagne finish in kitchen. Then some black in pendants. Bbl with some specifics.

What beautiful cabinets! I like the soft champagne color for cabinets and then a nickel for the interior doors. Can't wait to see your finished kitchen. Please post once counters (and then back splash) are in.

Satin stainless or brushed nickel would get my vote. Keep it neutral and classic. That is the vibe that the cabinets and counter seem to communicate. Plus, they will coordinate with the stainless appliances and door hardware will be easy to coordinate.

When it comes to pulls and knobs, maybe because it's my height, but I am always catching a belt or a loop on a hardware piece as I try to move about the kitchen. I like selecting things that have a closed end that can't catch on something.

You have to wait on backsplash selection until after the countertops are installed. Lighting will work differently on a surface that is horizontal or vertical. It's a strange phenomena.

I love Jeffrey Alexander's "Sutton" handle in Satin Bronze finish. It's not to goldy....it's beautiful.

Here are some pics of clients and my showroom.

Using brushed gold hardware. Lighting has accents in gold but glass and black bring some contrast. Here is a nice combination.

I can give you details on all these choices if you like them.

Flo, I love the brushed gold but I don't think my hubby does. I am going to order a handle in the brushed gold anyhow just to see. Is that an Amerock handle?

If you go the metal route, do the hardware in the finish of the appliances.

Or, consider some tone on tone with the stain of the cabinets. You will have to click on the link, as I am unable to copy the photo...sorry.

Yes it’s Amerock from Amazon.

I like the subtle brushed gold or brass if you want to blend with your lovely cabinets and drawers. You need to find a style and color that provides all the sizes you need. That may reduce your options. I found myknobs.com to be helpful in addition to the ones already mentioned. Sometimes Wayfair has what you want in a pack of 10 or 12, which reduces the price. I don’t think cup pulls work with the look of your kitchen.
And yes, hold off on the final backsplash decision until you see it in your house, with your lighting, and your stone installed. So far, it’s looking good!

Our countertops arrived and we are really happy with them. The fabricators did a beautiful job. It's so nice to have something other than plywood on the counters! Tomorrow morning we'll make a decision on the backsplash and get busy deciding on hardware. I love everyone's comments!!! I've ordered some cabinet pulls in a couple different finishes based on suggestions so hopefully they arrive quickly.

Nice countertops! The nickel options for hardware will look nice with them too.

We have taj mahal leathered finish countertops with black cabinets. We went with brushed satin brass handles and knobs from emtek. FINALLY decided on a backsplash we love, kenzii leira from MSI. Pardon the outlet cover propped on, just finished the backsplash and I need to seal the grout before re-attaching

Such gorgeous warm toned cabinetry. I still think the Satin Bronze I posted above will be awesome with that. Brushed brass will be too yellowy. I'll try to post a better close up so you can see the color of the Jeffrey Alexander hardware I recommend. The golden champagne also posted above would be a good choice. Keep away from yellowy. The silver tones will also look nice...just depends if you want it to contrast or blend.

Here are a few pics showing the difference in color between satin bronze and brushed gold.

Pulls, for sure. But I'm a fan of matte black!

And another suggestion--how about the same quartz for the backsplash that's on the countertop? That's what we're doing--love the simplicity, and the cleanliness--less grout!!!

counters look beautiful!

The Kitchen Place ... I added a handle in the Satin Bronze to an order I placed for some Jeffrey Alexander hardware. It really is a pretty color. I'm not sure I can talk my hubby into that finish, but I'd really like to see it with my cabinets. I ordered a couple different pulls and finishes, so I'm anxious to get those.

HU-830287095 ... I had thought about that for exactly the reasons you said, but we had that in our previous kitchen so were looking for a little change. Plus, and this was the biggie, our counters are quartzite and we had a tough time finding 2 slabs in sequence so that the colors were similar. We would still be out there looking if we needed 3 in order to do the backsplash.

The countertops are gorgeous!!! My fave!! I think once you get samples the right one will emerge. I think several could look good. The satin bronze is appealing and might be great option. Keep backsplash fairly simple so the Taj is star! I am soooo jealous!! Just beautiful combination with your cabinetry. Keep us posted.

Flo, thanks so much for all the suggestions and comments! I am really happy with the how they came together. I was super nervous about it!!! I'm anxious to get the new samples as I ordered several finishes with the hope that like you said, the right one will emerge! I didn't order the Amerock one you suggested but only because it isn't available in a larger size which I think I would like for the pantry doors, but I do love that one. Backsplash will be Bedrosian's Cloe in white. The gray tones in it are all over the countertops and I think they will work well.

typeandrun ... Love you black cabinets!

The Cloe in white will be perfect! Use grout that is close to lightest color in tile. Probably one of the whites. You don’t want grout to draw attention. Lovely kitchen. Have you picked out pendants yet? Or waiting to figure out hardware?

Flo, I'm happy to hear you say that on the Cloe! My tile gal said the same thing on the grout. Suggested that it be laid as close together as possible so not to draw attention to the grout. I'm glad you mentioned that so I can remind our contractor on Monday! For pendants ... I did order. However, that was way before the countertops and black hardware was sounding like it might work as it was really pretty with just the cabinets. So I ordered with that thought in mind. But after the countertops arrived, my opinion has swayed. I love the idea of the satin bronze, a soft brass, or a brushed nickel or pewter. So while I have ordered some lights, I'm not sold anymore and they can be returned and/or the finish changed, so I'm really open to suggestions! I think I need to stay 6" wide or less. But yes, before I order more, I'll definitely nail down the hardware. I won't tell you how many lights I have ordered and returned : )

So cute of you kch***. I think you need to select your hardware first then the pendants. It will be easier to coordinate the pendants once your hardware finish is decided.

This might be one pendant to consider. It is clean lined, and I think the metal will work with your direction. Just tuck it away til you need a decision.

So the backsplash is going in and I am pretty pleased with it. I think we decided to use brushed nickel for our cabinet hardware. I loved the satin bronze with the cabinets, but hubby wasn't going for anything "goldish" so we ordered brushed nickel as a compromise. So now I'm on to figuring out counter stools and pendant lights. I will also need to get chairs for my kitchen table which is directly behind the counter area, so I don't know if I should just try to coordinate those with the counter stools or match them up. I'm thinking just coordinate.

Maybe something with some texture??? I would love to hear some thoughts on stools and pendants. Thank you everyone; all your comments have really helped me!

Post pictures when complete!

Backsplash is looking good!

Good choice with the hardware. I think that you will like it even more after a few years. It make coordinating with the rest of the house much easier, too.

Nothing says that the lighting must match. It can coordinate and compliment.

I think you made the right choice with the hardware. i just posted my new kitchen which has several similarities to yours. i went with the honey bronze color but my cabinet color provided more contrast than your would have with that color. inthink thebsilvery to es provide the pop and contrast that will look great.
