Cabinet Hardware Advice, please?

15 years ago

Hello,

I chose the Montcalm collection from Schaub for my cabinets. Can I use all three pieces shown or is this too busy? Knobs for doors, cup pulls for the large drawers and the other ones for the upper drawers- which are too narrow for cup pulls? Cabinet sample (mine is pure white), one of my walls for an example and hardware samples below)

Thank you for your advice!

    Wow! You are on your way to a beautiful, romantic kitchen. I think you absolutely can do all three pieces in the collection as long as there is a rhyme and reason to your choices. I think what you have proposed sounds lovely. I love your choices and can't wait to see it put together.

    793-15 and 790-15 would be the ticket. The middle one has a modern shape and more discrete ornamentation which I feel, would be a lesser fit for the cabinets than the top and bottom ones. Not that the middle one wouldn't be nice too

    It will be SUPERB!

    Can't wait to see them installed...all 3 :).

    I spent some time looking at those bin pulls while under the spell of a muse that, sadly, fled when something else walked into the project. I really like them but I don't remember if I had a chance to feel it to ascertain whether there was enough real room for fingers. I think there is.

    I would not have used the matching pull--although I've got a lot of silvery and pewtery metals, my kitchen is "contemporary." I would have put bin pulls on all lowers and a different piece on my cabs, perhaps these knobs, but can't remember if I ever decided.

    Am concerned that your cab faces are arched and elaborate and the drawers have a lot going on. Be sure there's enough room for the hardware--where on the faces would you put these items? Think about where the pulling will take place?

    If you love the hardware, you may find that you only want the arched faces on uppers where you have knobs at bottom and that on lowers you would have bins (like waste bin and under sink) with non-arched fronts. Also find out what a pull feels like when it's sunk between those two horizontal stiles on the drawer fronts. Does it stand proud enough to be efficient to grab?

    Blondie- I would use the 793-15, anywhere it would fit. They're beautiful...and very Snow White!

    Could you use 791-15 on the doors? I like the way they have the curved detail on the ends that remind me of the curved detail, in the center of the pulls. The knobs are nice, but I think they don't feel quite as curvy/story book...but that's just my two cents :)

    Yes, you may use all three types. Your plan sounds well thought out and will add to your kitchen's theme.

    Thank you for all of the opinions, they really helped me. I love GW kitchen forum.
    I have 793-15 here- the cup pull- it's so beautiful. BUT I can not fit 15 on the upper drawers because they are not deep enough top to bottom. There I wondered about 791-15, and 790-15 knobs on upper cab doors and lower cab doors.Cup pull on square drawers.
    Does anyone know where to put the knob on the cabinet front that pulls out for trash? Is it ok to put on the side, or must it be in the middle?
    Lav- I agree- I wish the knobs were more styled like the cup pulls.

    Those cup pulls (793) really nicely echo the lines of the cabinet arch, I can see why you picked them.

    It sounds like what you're loving in the hardware line is the cup pull (793) I might use those on the square drawers just as you described and maybe use the same knobs you're using for all the cabinets on your top skinny drawers? (A single knob on the two smaller upper drawers and maybe a pair on your "super" upper drawer?)

    Personally I prefer the look of the same hardware on all drawers, so I'd use the straight pulls (791) on all drawers for uniformity, (especially hearing that you're planning a trash pullout, which would be much easier to open with a straight pull (791) centered in the middle.)

    I may be boring but to me there is something very classic and pulled together about keeping hardware simple (and functional, as for opening your trash!)

    I think the cup pulls would work well with the shape of your cabs. I stick with those and the regular pulls and skip the knobs. The knobs are less special to me. I think the pulls have a better line and would keep it simpler while still adding some pizazz.

    I have to agree with LIttle Smokie. Schaub & Co. is my favorite hardware brand but I think three looks on the cabinets maybe a little to much competition. If the cup pulls do not fit on all the drawers, I would use the 791-15 on all of them to provide consistency.
