Knobs or Pulls on Kitchen Cabinets
Do you love kitchen cabinet hardware as much as I do? I feel like it's the jewellery of the kitchen. Once we installed our hardware on our new kitchen it really pulled the whole look together. As part of the Modern Handmade Home Series we've partnered with Schaub and Company to share a post using their beautiful cabinet hardware. We selected their Heathrow Collection in Satin Brass for our new kitchen cabinets and I cannot tell you how much I love them (especially against my navy blue cabinets). Of course we faced the age old question of where to put knobs vs pulls and I realized I have a few opinions on this so I thought I'd share them with you below.
My personal preference is long horizontal pulls running the length of the base cabinets (whether they're drawers or doors). I have been known to install pulls horizontal on base cabinet doors just to maintain that line. In my new kitchen we went the traditional route with knobs on the doors and pulls on the drawers and I think it looks great.
There are pros and cons to each option: Knobs tend to be cheaper and easier to install but they can often get caught on things like clothing etc. Pulls can have a big impact but are often more challenging to install and can be a bit awkward as a door pull.
Here's a little video to see this Schaub and Company cabinet hardware in action.

ReplyDeleteHi! Are those 8" center to center cabinet pulls or another size? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI recently renovated my kitchen, and choosing the right cabinet hardware was such a fun yet challenging task. I love how the author shared their personal preferences and experiences with installing knobs and pulls, it feels like getting advice from a friend who's been through it all. The idea of cabinet hardware as the "jewelry of the kitchen" is so true, and now I'm inspired to reconsider my own choices.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more about how to decide between knobs and pulls. I recently found these from a new hardware brand that proves your point.
