Kitchen cabinet hardware style question

8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago

Our kitchen/dining room/part of the living room sustained serious water damage and our insurance has paid to put back similar materials to what was there before. The contractor ordered the cabinets yesterday and told us to pick some pulls so those can be ordered too. He said any hardware store or amazon would be fine. Our kitchen is small and we have about $60 to spend on new cabinet pulls (17 total needed for 6 drawers, 4 small doors over the microwave/fridge and 7 bigger doors). We don't want to spend more than insurance will cover on these as we've already opted to upgrade flooring in the other areas and get a much nicer sink and faucet. Our cabinets are going to be white with "raised panel" style laminate doors and the countertops will be a light gray 'honed' finish ceramic tile thats much larger than was there previously so there will be fewer seams. The flooring in the kitchen itself will be a primarily white vinyl tiles that have some gray 'swirls' in them. We are trying to keep the kitchen fairly 'classic' so it won't look super dated in a few years when we buy a bigger home and sell this place.


I was thinking I like the look of the elongated cabinet pulls but I see so many ways of doing them. Some put all the same length, some seem to do knobs on the upper cabinets, some seem to do different length pulls. There are also square ones, round ones etc... I'm not sure what way would look the best? I think too long or too many super long pulls might be a bit visually overwhelming in a small space or would it possibly look super nice? I'm also not sure if they're a passing trend and if they are, we would probably go with something else. I'm kind of open to suggestions on what would be a nice, preferably more 'upscale' and 'timeless' look since I know cabinet pulls are pretty important for the look of a kitchen. The only thing I am certain of is I want them satin finish and silver color.
