I'd be more inclined to use those in a bathroom.

I think they'd look better on painted cabs with a vintage or coastal look. The wood grain on your is beautiful, but wouldn't work with the knobs, imho.

You both confirmed what I was already thinking. Oh well, I guess I'll stick with my original plans then. Thanks for the input!

I think they look nice and would go well with the cabinets. Everyone has different tastes but always remember its what you like in the end that matters. Sometimes a simple yet beautiful knob can change the look and in your case I think it will work for the better. I love those knobs by the way. Good eye!

Def would not use those glass knobs in the kitchen pictured!

If I used those in my kitchen I'd want to spend all my time wiping them to make sure they sparkled! :)

'stylistically' they might not be perfect for your kitchen, but they're fairly plain crystal knobs... they're nice-if you like them, use them!!! they won't detract from what you have in your kitchen, imo...
(btw, i would prefer the crystal and orb knobs much more than solid orb in your kitchen...)

Ok, now I'm confused!

Examples of wood cabinets with crystal knobs. i personally would say that other knobs would work better with your cabinets.

Have you thought about using a different color for the glass knobs?

My kitchen is white and all the cabs have ORB knobs & pulls, while the buffet has garnet glass knobs & pulls. Do you have a stand alone piece, either a buffet or sideboard to put them on?

While they're beautiful crystal knobs I don't think they'd look right with your kitchen.

I do not know if you should or should not. Only you know that answer. I have dark orginal 1920s doors with glass knobs so they were not orginally only for white doors and cabs. I have a vintage home that came with a 1980s golden oak kitchen that we are still saving to really redo. In the mean time, almost eight years ago, I restained the oak darker and added glass knobs to help give it a more vintage feel. It is not by any means a model kitchen and it is different than the magazine white "vintage" kitchens that are prevalent now, but the knobs made me happier than what was there before.
I have thrown in pics of my dark stained doors with glass knobs and a pic of my wood kitchen, that is similar to yours, so you can see if you think you like the combo. I will not be offended if anyone does not. Style is more than what others like true style is unique and personal and often not everyones cuppa.:)

roarah - Thanks for the pictures. I don't think it looks bad :)

I have colored glass knobs in several areas of my house. I have traditional style medium cherry cabinets in my kitchen and have tried the colored knobs on them. I think they are stunning. The only reason I have not yet installed all glass knobs is that I can't make up my mind which color to use! I love them all.

They stay sparkly all by themselves too. When I clean a mirror in a room with glass knobs, sometimes I wipe the knobs off...but they NEVER seem to be dirty and they are always sparkly even without such maintenance.

And msrose, I have never seen the glass knobs in any kitchen I've visited. So I say, if you like them, use them. I can't think of a reason in the world why they would not "go".
