Do 1. It’s what has been used traditionally for centuries. Only in slab door super sleek modern spaces are different sized pulls ever really successful.

There is nothing the matter with just one, unless you need a different size of something for function.

I think things have changed a little bit with the advent of paneled appliances: in my old kitchen, I tried to use the small edge pull on my DW and I could barely get it open, so I had to get something bigger, and ended up matching the fridge.

In my new kitchen I am using one size but using a paneled DW and Fridge that will still look like a DW and fridge and integral handles.

I have 3 main sizes for my pulls and 2 extra large for extra long drawer front under sinks. Doesn’t look jumbled or confused; each looks to be in sync with shaker drawer size. There is no rule that must be followed. We took blue painters tape in exact pull sizes to get a good visual before buying. Lots of cabinets but nothing visually off.

Thank you all! We have some large drawers that will most definitely need 8 inch. The other DRAWERS could easily be 5 or 6, but I think I prefer the 6 inch. The dilemma I think is more….for DOORS, I think the 6 inch might look overwhelming. Especially for the uppers which are not to the ceiling unfortunately. So I’m wondering if I have 6 inch pulls on drawers and 5 inch on doors, will I noticed the difference??

I am planning several different pull sizes for my drawers which range in size from 18" to 42" wide, but I went with knobs for the upper cabinets. Smallest is 7.75" and largest 12", plus 18" appliance pulls. I would rather the pulls be a bit oversized and not undersized.

In my recent kitchen renovation, I used 2 sizes - 4” pulls for uppers and the spice drawers/lower doors. 8” for all drawers ranging in size from 18”-42”. I like how it’s a very clean look.

Only in the bar that sits in the family room, I went with all 4” pulls because it was more ‘decorative’ vs functional.

We used 6" and 8" pulls but probably could have used all 6". The largest drawers are 42".

Very helpful Cheri. The small drawers and door pulls all have 6 inch?

@cheri what width of the middle cabinet in the first picture? Is that the 18 inch?

I’ll be using three sizes but wish I had used just one size.

The small handles are 6". That middle cabinet is 15", the flanking cabinets are 27". I was orginally going to put a bar sink there but changed my mind. Still trying to figure out what to do with that cabinet. LOL

I used 1 size, looks great with every size drawer.

I do agree that the fewer sizes the better, but what would be worse is to have a huge pull on a small drawer or a small pull on a huge drawer. I don't have a formula, usually just eyeballing it. But I'd say an extreme would be to put an 8 in pull on a 12" paneled drawer front or a single 4" pull on a 36"+ drawer front. I'd say at least 2 sizes is necessary for most kitchen layouts. But, I wouldn't shy away from 3 sizes if it seems necessary with a wide variety of drawer size layouts. I've used 2-3 sizes inkitchens I've designed.
