Cabinet Pulls

Please tell me what size upper and lower cabinet pull sizes you used. My bottom cabinets will be all drawers. I am looking at Ikea Lansa Handles. Not sure what sizes will work. The cabinets are Ikea Abstrakt White.

Another possibility for the Wall cabinets is push to open hardware. I know nothing about the above subjects. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    gitananoel, can you tell us what size the drawers are, it will help in providing sizing options. Also, do you prefer one pull or two for larger width drawers.

    Cheers!

    The drawers are 18, 24, 30 and 36 inches wide.

    If you are going for a traditional/transitional look, 6" pull for all drawers except the 36" which will need two 6" or one 8" will do. If your kitchen is more contemporary, then longer pulls are preferable. Good Luck!

    >If you are going for a traditional/transitional look

    I don't think traditional is really an option with abstrakt white, although I saw an interesting use of traditional glass pulls on it once on apartment therapy.

    Here's what abstrakt white looks like, for those who don't know:

    I would like one handle on each drawer including the 36 inch drawer.

    If you want longer pulls check out Hickory Hardware Greenwich collection. They are contempory looking but not the typical bar pulls you often see. For my kitchen I used the stainless steel finish and was able to get cabinet pulls in the following approximate lengths 6'', 10'', 13'', and 19''. I have posted the following picture many times but here it is once again so you can see how they look.

    Gitan - I have many size drawers and cabinets and wanted antique brass - not as many options in this color.
    I went with 5 inch arch pulls and putting 2 on the larger drawers.
    That being said - if I had not already ordered 80 Baldwin Brass pulls - I would have purchased the pulls that Badgergal used. My counter top could support either color but also have a gorgeous Waterstone AB faucet, so decided to coordinate with the faucet.
    I am still lusting over her pulls and mine are being partially installed tomorrow (correction - today as it is midnight!)

    There are several good posts on this - if you search Gardenweb cabinet pulls, they should pop.

    The basic rule of thumb which I didn't totally follow - 1/3 of face for pulls - but then if you want more modern - might be longer, or classic might be shorter.

    I knew I did not want European pulls with the stick out ends to catch clothing and I didn't want knobs.

    Badgergal - I still love those pulls!
