Kitchen cabinets pull finish advice needed!

8 years ago
We are going with IKEA Bodbyn grey cabinets and have pretty much decided on Cambria "Ella" quartz for countertops. We have hardwood floors that are warm toned. Our appliances are stainless steel. We are going with a hexagon marble mosaic backsplash that is mostly white, with some pale grey and off-white. My struggle is with the cabinet pulls/knobs. I had decided on either gold or champagne. My husband and installer think it's a big mistake and that we should go with silver/stainless steel. I’d love to hear other opinions

    I love the champagne finish.

    Here is my 2 cents. A “traditional” approach would be silver tones, and a more current trend is toward golds for accents in cool colored rooms. So either works. But with your current choices, I would lean to silver. If you had a island and did it in a dark blue, I would go gold. That would support the gold. So think about it. And understand the overall look you want.

    Champagne is very pretty but I would pick the silver/chrome stainless.

    I would go with silver or maybe a 4th option- how about black?

    I would definitely NOT do champagne, that one to me doesn't make any sense. There is an argument for the gold because that is what is on trend right now. So I would either do gold (for more of an accent against all of the other cool toned choices) or brushed nickel.

    I think it depends on your taste (what you want your kitchen to look like, eclectic, matching) and the other finishes in the kitchen, light fixtures, etc (aside from the appliances) whatever you choose, make sure your second choice is available in the same sizes in case you change your mind in the future.

    It was either Rona or Lowe's.

    Love the gold with the grays of your other surfaces. It's a little more unexpected. Mixing metals is the way to go for a more interesting look.

    Gold, 100%, polished chrome and stainless are dated, everyone in the world has them

    in additions to real state companies, developers, home builders, G.C. the materials you chose are classic and understated, you will benefit with a little bling

    I am in the process of re-doing my kitchen. White Shaker cabinets (see pic of counter & backsplash) white sink, stainless appliances & faucet, and have chosen black hardware, which I think is fabulous!

    I LOVE those champagne pulls! I'm a "copper" sort of person though, so they are right up my alley. I guess it would depend on your style.... they are all beautiful. The champagne or the gold add a touch of uniqueness!

    drdevo5,,,,did you just do plain black? I think the polished black nickel would really look nice w/your choices. (just the color here, not the actual style)




    or,,,some others


    plain old black,,,but I like the nickel on the base of these knobs. these could be a black crystal glass material.

    @Dawn Linklater, did you finish your kitchen? I'd love to see some pics of it as we are considering Bodbyn gray for our new kitchen :)
