@chispaDo you have any pictures of your kitchen? and was it all one color or two tones like mine?

I like to use knobs on doors and pulls on drawers. Not a fan of the two-tone look.

I have knobs on my upper cabinet doors and pulls below as Diana suggested. I think that’s a great combination.

I’d opt for pulls on drawers, knobs on doors.

Love that you are reusing what you can. Though also not a fan of the two tone look you have created. I realize you are not seeking feedback on that at the moment though.

The two-tone look works really well in this room and feels balanced. That’s partly because it’s a darker space overall—we added a window for extra light, but it has northern exposure. The ceiling height is also quite tall at 11 to 13 feet, so when we were designing the space, going all white oak cabinets made it feel too heavy, and all white cabinets were too stark (especially given the limited IKEA cabinet colors). Also, the white oak at IKEA is three times as expensive as all their other cabinets, as it is solid oak with a rift cut oak veneer.

We intentionally used white on the upper section so it would visually fade into the wall. In the actual space, most of the visible surfaces are the white oak, which gives it warmth and character. From nearly every viewpoint, your eye is drawn to the oak, not the white. The design leans into the natural light we created with the large window and high ceilings, and the balance between the tones keeps it feeling cohesive but not flat. The depiction shown is not a viewpoint as there is a large white oak island in the way and the white wall is at the beginning of a 17x25 room.

Also a fan of pulls on drawers and knobs on doors…but 1.5” is kind of chunky - no? Best to try out samples and ‘see’ in person!

Definitely make your decision after ordering a sample of each knob or pull you are considering. But @thinkdesignlive, the OP said that the knob is 1.2" not 1.5" . Mine are 1 1/4" (which is a smidge bigger than 1.2") and they are perfect for kitchen cabinet doors.

When you have shaker designed doors, the size of the hardware matters. The knob, for example, needs to fit into the corner like it was made for it. If it’s too small or too large, it will look strange. Samples of everything before you pierce holes.

I find that any hardware needs to feel good on my hands and fingers. I don't like oval or square shapes, and rounded shapes feel better than anything with a sharper edge. So in addition to making sure the hardware fits and looks good, it needs to feel comfortable as well. You're going to be touching it a lot!

Yes to your knob and handle layout and yes to two tone. In the muliti, multi million dollar houses being built in my neighborhood of tear downs, all of them have two or even three tones. Provide consistency in other places with countertops, backsplash, etc. All parts of an overall design plan. I think it looks great. Is there a local store that sells cabinet hardware? If so, bring your plan with dimensions and get advice and then order from them. I find that local vendors offer service, great advice, greater selection and competitive prices to shopping online or big box. A small detail in a cabinet pull or knob, maybe some subtle texture or a millimeter of size can really make an overall impact to tie into your design vision. You can usually touch and feel them too. I know you have a lot of hardware to buy, but don't skimp on the final touch that will make a big impact.

Make sure everyone’s hands can fit the pulls. I had to reject certain styles because my husband felt they were too tight for his hands. Projection is the feature that can make or break a style you like in a catalog or online.

Any square knobs will always need “adjusting” if they turn slightly, so that’s not a great shape.

Some pulls have really sharp edges. You can’t see it in the photos, but getting samples helps you see if clothing will get caught on them.
