I posted a question about placement of my pulls on my shaker cabinets with slab drawers. Ireceived great advice on placement, but also several recommendations to consider larger size handles. I did a little research and think I will follow that advice.

So now I could use advice on size. I did research and found so many conflicting thoughts. One "rule" is to choose pulls that are 1/3 the width of the drawer front. Another said to use 5-12" pulls on drawers over 30" and cabinet doors over 34." Yet another said 6-10 for anything over 30".

Nearly all of our drawers are over 30 inches or bigger, only a single 21" drawer over the pullout garbage. One stack of drawers is 39 inches. Most of our cab doors are taller than 34" as well, other than over the microwave, fridfge, and wall ovens.

The handles that came with our cabinets are 96mm center to center (4 3/16" length). I found that the style we chose also comes in 128mm (5 7/16 length), 160 mm (6 11/16" length), 224 mm (9.25" length), and 320 mm (13" length).isting handles we have)?

So I am trying to decide a few things;

1. Can I do different size handles on cabinet doors than I use on drawers (possibly using the handles that we already have)?

2. Can I mix sizes of handles on drawers? I would keep the same size on a stack of drawers, but could I do a smaller elsewhere (like the garbage drawer)?

3. Are there "standard/common" pull sizes? If so, I would want to choose a size that is common in case I ever want to swap handles without getting new fronts.

4. Which size is best?

I appreciate any advice on pull size. I will attach photos of my 2 cabinet run plans and the back of the island.
