use what appeals to you.

not a problem to mix sizes.

Thank you Lyn. I have been reading about it and there are so many suggestions, size charts, etc, I wasn‘t getting the impression that there is a steady rule of thumb that I may have been missing/overlooking. Like you said, I think most people just choose sizes they like best. Thank you for the advice!!

I like the pulls and sizes you’ve chosen 👍

From what you show, some of them look a bit too large. I have some 12" pulls and they are on 42" drawers. For me, the oversize pulls look better on very contemporary kitchens.

Thank you jaja06. I like the pulls too, as they come in a variety of sizes, which Ive found that not all styles/ manufacturers offer all sizes in all styles. Ive found some to be limited in choices. This company and style gives me the option to use multiple sizes to fit the cabinets/ doors to scale. thank you for positng!! appreciate it

Thanks chispa. i previusly had sll 6 inch pulls on everything . The wider drawers had 2 6 inch oulls, which I hated. i never used both pulls, only one. My rhought was since they were 2 6 inch pulls, maybe one 12 inch would be better (?) But maybe I am wrong in that thinking . They are 26 inch wide drawers.

i also felt like the previous 6 inch pulls were small on my pantry cabinets, and some of my tall upper cabinet doors , so i taped 8 on upper cabinets and 12 on large pantry doors

The standard 24 doors/ cabients I also taped 8 , and the small 15 cabinets/ drawers i taped 6 .

all these numbers make me dizzy LOL

I would use the 8" pulls on the 26" wide drawers.

I wouldn't want double pulls on a drawer either.

Got it, so you think smaller than 12; i should do 8 inch on 26 wide drawers.

I see they also offer it in a 10 inch size as well . Would you still recommend doing the 8? thanks

@gtdj519 I really like those pulls. Can you share the name or link for them? I'm starting to think about pulls and we don't even have our cabinets yet lol. I will have 21, 24, 27, 30 and 36" drawers. I was planning on 8" for everything and 12" for the 36" drawer. That's a great idea to use tape to help figure out the sizes.

Sure Lynn Lou! happy to share

thet are by a company called shaub and company and the ones i chose are called menlo park arched. they also have menlo park with a slightly beveked square base, and i myslef didnt reallze the difference until kooking at them a few times. They also have many other styles, but I like that they offer many different sizes and finishes. Myknobs.com has good pricing on them . They are heavy and beautiful quality from thsi company i saw them in oerson at a hardware store, but the website was $80 less. hope you find somerhing you like !

8" or 10" would work.

Do another tape mock-up with 8" and then 10" on those drawers. Take photos of each and then compare. Which looks most pleasing and balanced to you?

Thanks

i just taped an 8, 10 , and 12

Ill do the 8 and 10 individally as you suggested; as i know you said rhe 12 is too big. i just left it there when i did additional taping . thanks for the good suggestion !

Here is 8 and 10

8" for most drawers , 10" for drawers 30" or wider. I have a personal preference for 1 1/4" knobs on cabinets. Beautiful countertops!

Thanks for that info Shsta! Appreicate it

I like the 8".

Some people love the long oversize pull look, so you have to decide.

I like the 6” on the uppers and for the smaller drawers.

Both the 8” or 10” would look very nice. I personally like the 8” and since the 10“ doesn’t look all that different, why not save a few bucks?

Youre correct chispa. seems that it kind of goes according to what look/ style a person likes, so its good to know i cant screw it up- LOL. i do like and appreicate hearing orhers opinions / what rhey have done. I learn a lot and get good tips from members on here. I credit your advice for my bathroom tile selection. You made a great point to consider and im glad i listened; as I think it made sense and turned out great

Thats another good point rebunky. if i dont feel strongly about a larger size, it could save me on cost .

I forgot what size I had on my 36” drawers, and they are only 7”! I think I remember that the particular pulls I chose didn’t go any bigger. The next size up were 12” and jumping a ridiculous amount in price. I have never thought of them as looking weirdly too small proportionately or not functioning as well as a longer pull. However I think I would have gone with the 8” for my 36” drawers if it was availbale.

Ok so with all that rambling, what I am trying to say is, I think the 8” is plenty big for only a 26” cabinet! 😬

I don’t want to hyjack your topic, but did you ever decide on the new countertops and on the open shelf situation? I was just curious on your progress. It is looking great!

I’m using the Menlo Park arched pulls too!

I’m using a 10” on my nine 30” drawers. I am also putting the 10” on my 24” drawers as i only have two and they are in a corner.. i figure ihaving fewer sizes will make it easier to replace them in the future (which I admit is unlikely).

5” pulls are going on the 15” drawers. I am putting the knobs on uppers and the Menlo Park cup pulls on a built in hutch.

LOL… you’re awesome rebunky everyting you said was interesting to read and helpful to know . We never think about these things until we are asked or have to make a decison on it.

The countertops are being replaced. i decided to go with a marble that i actually had added on to a sideboard cabinet We will get it in a honed finish though. i was sort of in a bind and having a hard time finding a replacement because my cabinets were refinished the day before the countertop debacle happened;. They were refinished in a bright white to go with the quartzite ( BMchantilly lace) None of the quartzites i saw went well with the chantilly lace , as most were warmer/ creamy tones. Marbles had more cool whites, which look better with the cabinet color in my opinion. I like the marble because it has swirls of grey and blue in it, which is similar the quartzite we chose originally. The msrble is called Namib sky/ Namibian Sky/ Damasc white marble - it goes by multiple names .. Ironically , when we first started renovation, I asked the fabricator if he had that marble, as i really like it on my furniture and wanted it for the kitchen He did not, have it and I coulndt find it anywhere else either 3 weeks ago, he called me and said he gor 7 bundles in. Maybe its meant to be 🤷‍♀️crossing my fingers all goes okay. And we decided on 2 shelves 😊. I think it will be a nice feature to add .

Heres some pics of the marble .first pic is it on my furniture, and the others are the slabs we are choosing from. Hard to see in oics, but its a true white backround, with light grey snd blue-sh grey marble swirls throughout

Thank you for the info Nicole! That is helpful to know. They really are pretty and nice quality. Im looking forward to getting them Best of luck on your project!!

Thanks for this thread. I have the same question too and looking at your tape samples made me realize I will go with 8" pulls for my drawers. Love the handle you picked as well.

Awesome Kendra! Glad this thread helped you! I too find houzz and most of tis members knowledgable, helpful, and really informative. yes! ! try the tape mock ups to help visualize.

Thank you so much Rebunky for asking about my other dilema ( countertop-LOL) and for the compliment . It really is a pretty stone - hopefully it gets installed without a hitch 🙏
