I ended up using a 4.5" pull handles and seems to look quite nice. When I look at other pics that people have posted with the 2 handles, it seems to look like a piece of furniture that might belong anywhere but in the kitchen. Also over time, if a person has something in their hands that they want to put away, they need or should use 2 hands to open the drawer to avoid the constant pull on the interior cabinet hardware and the eventual wear and tear of the drawer itself. If you are prepared to follow the rule of using 2 hands and want the extra "bling", I would shoot for the 2 handle look.

I , too , am torn between one or two handles on 36" drawers. I will have three of this size, top one is shallow slab drawer, bottom two are pot & pan drawers will have recessed trim matching the doors. The pulls I chose - see photo below - come in 3 sizes - 4-3/4, 5-1/4 & 6-7/8" and I don't think the longest one is long enough, I'm afraid it will look lost on the large plain drawer front. I'm thinking it would look better esthetically with two of the same 4-3/4" size as will be on the 3 smaller drawers, trash pull out and doors.

BTW, I have been told the same about tending to pull only one especially with hands full, which can damage drawer overtime.

My newly built condo will have ivory cabinets, Bradshaw Cambria Quartz countertops and chocolate wood floor.

HELP - now I can't decide on 1 or 2 pulls on the large drawers and time is running out to let the builder know.

I would do large handles on all. It gives a nice clean look.

Thx so much for your advice. You mean on all drawers?

Two pulls is industry standard, but in all honesty when I open drawers I tend to pull the handle closest to me to open the drawer rather than moving my body to utilize the two pulls. This would allow for the best drawer alignment over time which was mentioned earlier on. I think your drawers and hardware are a nice compliment to each other. I might have just made the drawer pulls on the larger drawer larger to balance the girth of the drawer front compared to the smaller drawers. Hindsight is 20/20!

Hello

We normally sugguest 2 per drawer when the drawer is longer(30" plus) But it all comes down to what you like and will depends on the handle you choose and the sizes it comes in.Feel Free to Contact us with any questions.

Will it really damage your drawer if you are only pulling with one of 2 drawer pulls in an oversized drawer (over 30”)?

Hi all. Reading through these posts. We are looking at the same dilemma but mostly because on the big drawers we are worried that when pulling them out over Time from one side or The other it will cause the drawers to loosen or become warped and not pull out smoothly. Has anyone had this experience? Basically our dilemma is... two small pulls on big drawers or one longer one in the middle. Just exploring functionality over time.

We just finished the drawers and doors and used 1 handle on all cabinets but we used different sizes for different size doors and drawers

I also went with a single pull in different sizes based on drawer size. 12" pull for a 32" drawers, 7" pull for the 20" drawers and 9" pull for a 24" drawer, but went with knobs for all the cabinet doors.
