Pulls- seen any you love?

6 years ago

I thought I knew what I wanted, but now that I am looking to BUY, I need inspiration. I am 98% sure I want a gold colored pull (but could consider a knob)- anywhere from 3 to 5 inches..... I have traditional/transitional taste. I will have white cabinets and a cherry island (otherwise might like orb )....If you love yours or have seen something worth sharing please share away. I kind of like this one (and the price is great) but am not sure... so what can you show me?

and any inspiration is appreciated.

FWIW I had thought I would go with 5 inch, now rethinking maybe would prefer 4 or so.

    I am just not sure if they are a bit too clunky..... but regarding quality yes I would test them. In my last house, I ordered one pricey one and one cheapy one to feel them and see what they looked like up close and personal..........there honestly was no difference that I could discern. (these were orb). I ordered the cheapy ones and we lived in that house at least 8 years before we sold and they were totally fine.... I think the pricey ones were maybe like $7 each and the cheapy ones were under $2 each. that was at least 10 years ago..

    Try "Look in the Attic". I found my solid brass pulls there. Hand-wrought, not expensive and lovely.

    They don't look clunky in this pic.

    My pulls were over $30 Cdn each over 14 years ago. They're better quality than my "custom" cabinets. If ever we redo this darn kitchen (I've learnt a lot over the years!), they might serve as the jumping off point. :P

    I bought the same Cosmas pulls in ORB, 5” size, from Amazon a few months ago for a kitchen refresh in our previous house which we were putting on the market. They were great! They are surprisingly heavy in weight and look more expensive than they are. The person who installed them had no complaints.

    I would go with the 5” size. Larger pulls are easier for bigger hands to grab and look better, in my opinion.

    Also, the ORB was the right choice in my previous kitchen, but I much prefer the brushed brass. And although I prefer all pulls, I also used the matching knobs for the kitchen refresh to save money, and they were great too.

    I have inexpensive pulls from Home Depot - "Liberty." Mine are the satin nickel color, but they also make a nice goldish color called "champagne bronze". I've had mine for 3 months and they feel sturdy.

    Update-- I ordered the Cosmas Modern in 5 inch pulls for the drawers and these knobs ... I do have 2 larger drawers and will have to see if I will use 2 of those pulls, or maybe I will get 8 or 10 inch pulls for those. Mostly I will have the hardware here for them to at least put on the door and other drawers. For the super susan (door) and trash pullout (door) does it work to use a knob?

    I would use a pull for the garbage pull out and any other pull out. Put the pull horizontally along the top.

    My kitchen designer said that one 8” pull was adequate for my largest drawers, which measure 36” across the drawer front. It’s best to use one pull if you can unless you are really going to use two hands to open a drawer with two pulls.

    Here’s my kitchen. The door on the right is a pull out. My garbage pull out has the pull in the same position.
