Pulls and Knobs

18 years ago

HELP! There are so many choices out there. I went to RH and got some samples (Grafton, Asbury and Spritz) and to another local store.(Got a sample that is curvy) I am going for a more contemporary look but I also like the cup pulls. I also admire those who can mix up the choices and they look good. My cabinets are simple, more of a shaker style. (Carmel color) My granite will be Volga Blue and I have all stainless appliances. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

TIA!

    Welcome to the overwhelming world of knobs and pulls! Because the choices are so many, your best bet is to search this forum and the FKB for what appeals to you, then take pix of a potential winner on your cabinets and post the pix here. HD and Target have limited selections available in stores for sample ideas, and there are a number of reputable online vendors.

    RH is discontinuing Grafton, so if you like it, scoop it up now. Ask them about the other two.

    I am also pondering knobs and pulls. Is there such a thing as a standard width for drilling for a given size of pulls? I'm afraid that the answer is no. So I need to be careful about choosing a drawer pull for immediate use thinking I might like something different later. IS this correct?

    I suggest that you go to HD and Lowe's and pick up samples of several different styles and colors. Take them home and look at them with the cabinets and granite and that will help you narrow your choices. You can return them all after you have made some decisions.

    Thank you for your help. I brought a sample cabinet and the hardware from RH to a family function. SO now we have officially ruled out the RH samples. :)
    I plan to look for some more tomorrow. The search continues. I do admire the people that can mix and match with ease.....

    Beachcomber,

    I found my pulls and knobs at Lee Valley. They have an awesome collection and well-priced, really good quality.

    I ended up with the Diva style (think I love the name as much as the pulls!) But it came down to two final choices, I'll send you pics of both, as we have a shaker style cabinet too in toffee colour and our granite (to be changed soon- long sad story) is Butterfly Blue, pretty similar to yours I think.

    As I was posting this reply, my DH said he still 'prefers the textured Mission style'! :>)

    Raehelen,
    The Diva looks wonderful on your cabinets! I love the name too! Thank you for sharing this with me. I'll check out the Lee Valley site.
