Home Decorating Design Dilemma Kitchens

Kitchen cabinet hardware size

4 years ago

My lower cabinets are 34” and upper cabinets are 42”. Would you use the same size pulls on both? I’m thinking 6”. I was thinking knobs on the small drawers. Thoughts?

Hi there,

I would say that a 6" handle would work fine for both base cabinet at 34" and the upper at 42", but but the only thing I raise some caution towards are the knobs on base cabinets. These are very easy to catch onto clothing. I would suggest maybe the same pull but a smaller size... maybe a 4", or even move into a cup pull?

Hope that helps. :)

Thanks! Knobs on the drawers on top of base cabinets tend to catch onto clothing?

Hi guys, Leelee we are definitely doing the vintage bits on the wall. We actually have some vintage cereal boxes that we are planning on displaying on the shelves (filled with cereal of course)!. Sarainitaly - I'm investigating thenIkea planner but it's painful to work (or maybe it's just me!). Here's a pic of the walls totally painted green now. Think the shelves will look great along with some pictures dotted around. It's the cabinets now that will b a pain! BTW it was pure enthusiasm that stopped me waiting until the water heater came off the wall to paint - lol. I will have to paint the patch when it's off.

What I'm actually wondering though is about mixing the metals - so having the chandelier and lamps with the touch of silver - or would I be better to source antique brass lamps like I have in some other rooms in the house - I kind of wanted to feature quite a bit of glass, and generally the glass comes with chrome, but I'm not sure if it's too modern for the sideboard etc, and mores worried about the clash of metals, but something tells me it might be ok in this instance! I have chrome taps and rainfall shower head in new bathroom and kept with antique brass for the light fittings and door/press knobs. Also yes the room is small but that's not an issue - it is what it is and I'm fine with it!

I love the tall units but you need to go straight to the ceiling to prevent dust and dirt settling on the top. I would put a row of small up and over cupboards along the very top as an option. Very handy for unsightly bulky items. I don't like the end open shelves by sink very dated but what you could do is a long double shelf all the way along the island with a wine racking either side for balance vertically. I think shelving each side of the sink would be better. You have a lot of cupboards but no deep drawers which are highly valued these days. Good selling point. I Like your colour suggestions... The little Greene paint company have a lovely grey so does farrow and ball. Where are you sourcing your Quartz and what flooring? Do your ovens have easy open shelf doors ..handy as they retract so don't get in the way as you take food out..Neff offer best ones. If you want a better balance of tall you could always do fridge freezer one side and pull out pantry on the other with racking. Then on sink side don't go all the way along the wall just have it as centred space so you can pull out larder doors. On your island you will need your bin as this'll be prep area? What is the room opposite tall cupboards? Need the island to look good from that side as that is what you will see. Hope of help. I'm embarking on the same thing and have spent hours and hours researching!

I find that they do! I often have the problem of my cardigan/sweater pockets (that are bit more loose) always catch, as well as pant pockets. It might be my height, but I find it is a pretty common problem among our clients too.

Good to know. Wouldn't have thought of that. Where is the best place to incorporate knobs? Smaller upper cabinets - like above a wine rack or refrigerator?

Absolutely! There is nothing wrong with having a bit of variety. Here is a kitchen that used different sizes of pulls, as well as knobs on the uppers.
