Underneath our sink and to the right of our sink we have 4 cabinet doors. These look like they are cabinets with hinges, but they are actually mixed. Underneath the sink, the left-hand side is a recylingbin (so like a drawer) and the right-hand side has a hinge (it holds the compost bin). To the right of that, the left-hand side is the garbage (so like a drawer) and the right-hand side is a hinge door (leading into the corner cabinet area). We don't think that it would look good to make the drawer side have a horizontal pull and the door side to have a vertical like this: _ l, so we are thinking of making both sides within a pair be the same direction (e.g., underneath the sink would both be _ _ or would be l l). The pair to the right of the sink is easy to decide because the right-hand side door will get little use and the left-hand side (the garbage) will get lots of use, so we thought to make them both horizontal drawer pulls (mirroring the drawers immediately above them). The harder question is what to do under the sink. Both sides will get lots of use. DH thinks that the doors are strong enough so that a pull either horizontal across the top, or vertical on the edge of the door should work to open either the recycle drawer or the compost door.

Any thoughts? Unfortunately, the left hand side under sink door isn't in place yet, but here are the pics with the undersink cabinet pull changing.

What do you think, will it be more of a pain to open a drawer with a door oriented pull, or to open a door with a drawer oriented pull?

Which one looks better?

Thanks!
