I haven't seen the entire kitchen but as a general rule yes, vertical for doors and obviously horizontal for drawers

Vertical and stacked works fine.

Agree, horizontal and vertical is a good idea.

Where did you find those?

what about the uppers - once installed show the underside of the pulls - want them to show the same side as the lowers?

what are they - brand?

Used them on my uppers w/ glass fronts. Felt I needed something larger and sturdier on the bottoms, mine being all drawers w/ heavier pots, etc. there. Used a Top Knobs U (squared off) fixture w/ all placed horizontal even on the under-sink doors; those are horizontal, facing each other, at the top of the door, next to the opening. Wanted them all going the same way...love the look. Be careful while getting used to them, I've crammed my fingers into their sharp edges more than once and can gash wrist/arm.

I've had mine this way for four years and I would never change that.

SPAKNITTER...Look for one w/ square off "U", not one w/ the stand-up bars of the "U" inset, esp on the bottom cabinets. Cabinet lady said I'd catch my clothing. pockets on them, etc.. Never woulda thought of it myself.

Used finger pulls on top.

I have the same finger pulls on all my drawers but wanted more bling for the cabinet doors so went with Schaub Positano in smoked glass. If you want finger pulls only, consider mounting all of them horizontal. Mount upside down on the upper cabinet bottom edge and right side up on the top edge of the bottom cabinets. I did this on the bathroom vanity and it looks great.

I suggest you go with something that is more edgy. This is for because of the looks but for ergonomic handling. You will find that with the rounded front edge your fingers will slip easily from the pull and therefore your hand will automatically try to fully embrace the front edge - which does not work if the pulls are back to back (because that way you would grab both pulls at the same time). Have a look at Ikea Blankett, those provide much better grip if you put your fingers on them. They do look more contemporary though, not sure if that will work for your kitchen.

I would only use one vertically per set of doors, say on the right door if you are right handed. then open the other door just pulling it with your hand. This way you have the look you are after without them jamming together or having to stagger.

You can just reach in, as suggested above, and open the door w/ your hand, but over time the door through use, kitchen oils, outer finish, etc. will get gummy dirty even w/ occasional wiping. Before our remodel, I had dark wood, slab cabinets w/ no handles. Loved them; so easy to wipe down w/ no handles to wipe around. When we had cabinetry built in the girls' room, I didn't want hardware there either, or maybe 1/2 moon cutouts. The cabinet maker, a man long in the custom cabinet building business, told me that I needed handles/hardware, that hardware had a purpose. Later, as the kitchen cabinets got older, fingered up, gummy where hands touched, and repeated cleanings took the finish off in the handled place, I knew the cabinet maker was right. My new kitchen ones have the finger pulls at the bottom of the top cabinets; the bottom drawers under the counters and the island have pulls/handles. Just my experience.

In addition to Kaaren's comment, also consider the order of retrievability. Every time you would want to open the left door, you would have to open the right one first. Some might happily sacrifice functionality/ergonomics for improved looks but you'll actually do stuff in your kitchen, day by day, year over year...

I swear I'll quit this...it's only cabinet pulls for Pete's sake! But...MANUEL brings to mind another thing about cabinets: why we had drawers on the bottom. It was pointed out to me by another custom craftsman cabinet maker, when I was gonna go doors w/ pull-out shelves, that then you must open the door to the cabinet, and then pull out the shelf, when w/ just the drawer, you only pull it open, door being unnecessary. Drawers are not free, but I loved them. Pay up for movable/removable dividers, you don't need tons for each drawer 3-5 (they cut down space too remember), and make drawers of different depths. They are deep on the island w/ a "junk drawer" size atop each stack at both ends of island (cooktop in center w/ cubbies under for often used tools instead of junk drawer) and various sized drawers under the other counters. I also have pull-out slabs under the island top (over each of the junk drawers) since I wanted more counter/island space. I swear I'm done w/ this now, and you've made your decision anyway...just free cabinet info.

You're gonna love your new cabinets and your new kitchen. Mine makes me happy every day.

I have the same finger pulls on my pantry (which looks just like yours) and before I committed to placement, I attached the pulls with 3M sticky squares. I liked the placement so well (horizontal, stacked upper over lower) and the sticky squares held so well, I never attached them with the screws. Not that I'm suggesting you do that! But if you're unsure about placement and don't want to make holes twice, you might try this.

Many women should take into consideration their nails. If you tend to keep them long most pulls will be too short to open the cabinets/drawers. I've seen many cabinets with nail scratches over years of continued use. Alternative would be open pulls.

You my tray blum push to open.

Put them in the same place on all cabinets...mine are all horizontal and centered even on the under sinks. By the way, wise choice, I leaned/bent forward for some reason and bumped my head into the horizontal, finger-pull installed at the bottom edge of this upper cabinet and almost put a gash in my temple! Must learn to watch it. Happy new kitchen to you!

Spaknitter . . .I am thinking about going with the handles that you chose. I was only going to use your choice on the lower cabinet drawers and finger pulls on the upper cabinets doors. What do you think about that idea? Did you use these on your upper cabinet doors as well and how does it look? Is it awkward to open with these handles placed horizontally at that height?

Spaknitter, what is the name of the pull you chose and can you post a picture with them installed?

My wife wants edge pulls on everything. I went an bought 1 edge pull today to check it for fit on all the different doors and drawers. I see this exact same issue with not having enough space between the drawers! I'm going to go with edge pulls on the upper doors (no issue there), and typical pulls on the lowers. I also found that the smaller edge pulls don't have much surface to grab, so its difficult to pull out drawers with Blum closers.

How .
