I like simple stainless pulls and in proportion to the cabinets and drawers I even often put some vertical and some horisontal I use Lee Vally for their stinless pulls because they have a great selection of sizes and often free delivery too. This is what I mean for size nas it also shows the differnt placement .THe dark kitchen shows a few different sizes the orange accent kitchen is mine .

Post the cabinet layout with all the cabinet DIMENSIONS.... lower drawer widths especially, in a comment box below and you will get help !

Personally . I love Top Knobs for both quality and selection, and favor a sleek D pull, with closed ends over a bar.......which tends to be a pocket catcher annoyance.

The D looks more current than the bar : )

A lot people say the pull should be 1/3 the width of your drawers (not sure how that translates to cabinets). That looked way too modern for me in my traditional kitchen. I went with 6” pulls all over, not varying them with the size of the cabinet. I think it is all personal, but the “trend” since you asked seems to be the 1/3 rule.

Thanks all for the advice/feedback! I will post drawer dimensions soon and look into Top Knob. Seems like a slim, low profile D style handle is more of what I am looking for than "bar pulls." As for size, I like the idea of mixing it up proportionate to the drawers-the 1/3 rule of thumb though seems like it might be too long for my taste, especially with some of the larger drawers.

Even a nine inch pull looks great on a 36 inch drawer.

You can use a ORDINARY ruler, and one inch scale and test on PAPER : ) ! one inch to one foot

There aren’t current size trends, but are usually a preference, cabinetry's style as well as where being used. Thought this article might help: https://www.handlesandmore.ca/blogs/renovation-tips/comprehensive-guide-to-cabinet-hardware-size-place/

You have defined the metal/shape so narrowing down to one or two styles shouldn’t be difficult. I’d purchase a few sizes (as long as you can return) and test them. You can also tape out the sizes, but I find holding up the actual handle provides a much better sense of its feel.

"the 1/3 rule of thumb though seems like it might be too long for my taste, especially with some of the larger drawers."

Actually 1/3 won't be too long, including a 12" width for a 36" drawer. Make some pulls out of aluminum foil in the sizes you are considering and hold them up against the drawers, or tape them to the drawer with blue painters tape. Make sure to do one that is 1/3 the width of the drawer. If you don't have the drawers yet, use a carboard shipping box that you open and cut into the size of the drawer and tape it to the wall. Using templates like that is a very good way to tell what looks right.

Also, the 1/3 rule of thumb for pulls is not a "trend". I did a kitchen 25 years ago, and a KD told me the 1/3 proportion. It's a proportion for the width, that looks balanced to the eye, having nothing to do with a trend. Examples of trends in pulls would be the extra wide pulls covering almost the entire drawer width, or the pulls with the open ends in the early 2000s, or in the 80's when Tuscan was The Thing, the pulls were black with scrollwork. There was a brief period about 15 years ago when pulls were objects such as animals, lizards, forks, etc. All those are trends, not the 1/3 width.

Check out Top Knobs Princetonian Collection. Comes in many widths, and is a classic design.

There's no right or wrong answer. I have drawers ranging from 18-36". I ended up doing 9" pulls on all drawers, 7" on cabinets and 5" on the couple shorter cabinets. I went back and forth about the 9 on the 18 drawer. It's right above the trash pull out and next to 27 drawer base and I didn't want different sizes so close. But I see it in other kitchens and it looks fine. Make sure you feel the pull in person to make sure you like how it feels in your hand. Ours aren't installed yet, so I'm hoping I like the sizes I picked lol.

“Make sure you feel the pull in person to make sure you like how it feels in your hand. ”

This^^^is very important. Don’t just order from pics online. Go to stores to see and feel. Or, order a bunch of samples.

I found that pulls with sharp edges, like what Maureen posted, were uncomfortable. Whereas, pulls with more heft, and smooth, rounded edges were quite pleasing to hold…and could easily see grabbing day in, day out, many times over. The result of my research, is what I posted earlier.

The current design trend is big, stupid big, or practically invisible. There remains nothing wrong with using a single average size pull for everything, including larger drawers.

Thanks M Miller, great idea to use boxes as a model- and I have so many of them here since I neec to clear out the bottom floor if my home for the remodel

@darbuka sorry OP off topic...my in progress kitchen has a space similar to yours between sink and range. How are you liking your cutting board and where is it from? Does the lip over counter edge make a difference? Nice kitchen! Thanks.

@vicbayside, We bought that cutting board at IKEA a gazzillion years ago, when the store first opened on Long Island, which was in 1991 (just looked it up😊). Brought it with us from our former home, where we had lived for 36 years. That’s 7 1/2 years ago.

Back then, their cutting boards with lips were quite hefty. Some years after our purchase, what we saw in IKEA, was a much thinner product. I read reviews complaining of warpage of the thinner boards. Haven’t been in IKEA in many, many moons, so I don’t know if that’s still the case…or even if they still make the lipped cutting board.

Ideally, the lip over the edge does make a difference in keeping spills off the drawers below, including the garbage pullout directly underneath. It’s simple the sweep prep remnants into the opened garbage. Worked perfectly when I was doing the prep and cooking.

However, nowadays, DH is the primary cook…and, he is messy. I find drips, and small pieces of prepped veggies stuck on everywhere…on the floor, too! I don’t know how he does it…and, doesn’t see it. 🤷🏻‍♀️. Anyway, I guess it matters who is prepping, as to whether the lip “makes a difference.”

Thanks for the compliment! Good luck with your kitchen!

Thank you @darbuka not only is your kitchen layout sink, window, trash and cooktop layout very similar to ours but we lived in our prior home for 30+ and in our current for about 5. I'm going to research some new cutting boards, thanks for the information!

I chose Top Knobs pulls when we had our kitchen renovated a few years ago. The pulls are all 5 & 1/16” brushed satin nickel. I am still quite happy with this pull choice!
