proper cabinet handle proportions?

3 years ago

We are refacing our cabinets and the previous owner used 3” handles on everything-whether it be a lower cabinet or a 4-foot tall pantry door. A google search says to follow the 1/3 rule for drawers (handle should be 1/3 the length of the drawer) but I couldn’t find a specific answer for cabinets. I went ahead and measured out painters tape on my cabinets based on this rule and I have to admit, it does draw the eye upward and make it seem taller, I just don’t want it to look ridiculous as I have an average sized kitchen. Let me know if any other details are helpful.
