Looking for hardware opinions

6 years ago

Countertops have been installed and I love them!! They look so much better in person. I am waiting for tile samples, but I know that I am choosing a polished marble or white tile for the backsplash. I need some opinions on hardware. I am going to place the hardware centered and on the rail, as pictured, 6 inches for the 36 and 30-inch drawers and 4 inches for the other drawers. I found 3 that I love--2 cup pulls and 1 handle with coordinating knobs. I definitely want a solid brass handle/knob/pull in an aged or antique finish. I'm looking for opinions please. Thanks so much!

    I like #3, but I would use two for the long drawers, and place the handles on the inset portion of the drawers instead of the raised part so they don't stick out so far.

      I will add the photos so folks can weigh in without having to click on links.


      I'm not a pro but I'll go ahead and weigh in. I love the third, open style. It's just different, and the color (at least on my screen) is my fav.

      2nd choice would be the first image, and again, I think it's becuse I like the color.

      The 3rd choice seems a tad....modern-ish (?) with its elongated form. Still nice! But to me, it's too yellowy gold (tho maybe that's why you like it!) Just personal preference.

      I found this picture. It might be the Duluth pull (2nd image above), on white cabinets.

      I don't like bin pulls (it bugs me when my fingernails hit the interior, as they inevitably do), so I would go with #3, which given a similar look of a solid rectangle of brass but with an open pull.

    • 6 years ago

      Love finish one the first one but I think the 3rd is better. Having the extra plate protects the cabinet finish. #2 I don’t like at all and picture with it installed just confirms it. In the end you need to be happy so I say go with your gut that way you will not be second guessing yourself or saying “what if”. All the best

      #3. I like the color and kind of aged look.

    • 6 years ago

      Originally I planned to do bin pulls but then I saw #3 and had a change of heart. I think you have confirmed my choice. Thanks so much!!

    • 6 years ago

      I like 2 and 3 and now reading through the commens, I guess it's #3.

      I do have to say your countertop is MAGNIFICENT. (what is it?).

    • 6 years ago

      Salonva thanks so much!! I looked everywhere for a soapstone look-alike. It is honed black mist.

    • 6 years ago

      I like the third one the best.

      Hope you go for white tile. The counter top is so special, I would not want to compete.

    • 6 years ago

      Guess the decision is already made, but for what it's worth, I love #3. And agree that a white backsplash will work best.

    • 6 years ago

      Hi, Kristy, I hope you post a photo after the pulls are installed. I'd love to see them.

    • 6 years ago

      Calidesign my thinking was that by placing a single handle higher, there is less stress on the drawer glides and my back. My daughter mentioned to me with 2 handles per drawer, someone ( my husband and kids) is likely to open them with only 1.

      @houssaon and @kathiebartel I really love the polished marble, but I agree that the wall Shouldn’t overpower the countertop. I haven’t made up my mind yet. Thanks for the advice!
