Bathrooms Design Dilemma

Vanity pull size - 3.75” vs 5”

2 years ago

We are renovating 2 bathrooms. Bathroom 1 has a 48” single sink alcove vanity and 10.5” wide drawers. Bathroom 2 has a linen closet, 9.5” wide drawers and double sinks. We’ve chosen the same pulls for both bathrooms and the available widths are 3.75” and 5”. I was going to do 3.75” on the drawers, but should I do the same size pull everywhere or use the 5” on the cabinets and linen closet? What would look the best?

Personally, I would mix sizes. 3 1/2 on the drawers for both and then the 5 or even the next size up, on the doors and the linen closet

The difference in drawer sizes is negligible. Do the 3 3/4 inch everywhere. We're not seeing the linen, btw.

There's nothing too exciting about the pulls: ) and both bathrooms need not match.

Thank you for these suggestions. Good to know there are options.

Make sure the 3 1/2” is comfortable for everyone’s hands. The projection (how far it sticks out from the drawer or door) is as critical as the width. Someone with bigger hands may not like the style for that reason.
