Lauren Original Author. Thanks everyone - we are doing these pulls on the cabinets and the emtek polished chrome cups on the drawers sorry I didn't take a pic of the cup on the drawer. I had considered doing a 7" pull on the wider drawers and cups on the smaller ones but I thought it would look too choppy. Like 6 Save. Hi gduplessis - the cabinets are custom from a local cabinet maker Faneuil Kitchen. Like Save. Related Discussions Which one? I like the cups but for the sake of keeping it simple I'd stay with all knobs.

I know it could look fine to have the cups and knobs but there's always lots going on in a kitchen so keep it sleek. Even on the large drawers, just one knob. On your tilt our drawer it will function easier if you have one knob in the middle, you'll probably not use two hands to open it and it might not tilt out easily if you have 2 but only actually pull on 1 that's off center. The contemporary style fits the cabinets, BUT If they are going on the lower cabinets, they will catch your tops, your pants pockets, anything you are wearing except speedos.

All my cabinet hardware has to be "closed" as in the other one you have chosen, even though I have passed over some I have coveted. If you're not sure, stop in at a local cabinet store or HD, Lowe's and take a peek at their display. That would be a way to know for sure what you prefer. Good luck with your kitchen! Have a great holiday season. Drawer Pull Sizes Q.

Susan, thank you! We have four drawers that I think the 3 inch center to center handles look good on. We did knobs on the doors. Do you think it will look okay with different sizes on different sized drawers? Susanc 7 years ago. I say scratch the cups and use pulls on both doors and drawers with a single pull per drawer.

Otherwise, the only way it will look balanced is maybe trying a cup centered above each door. So the first drawer would have 1 cup, the center drawer would have two. But no, I really suggest using the pulls on all.

Like 5 Save. Personal preference, either one will look great but my vote would be one large pull. Think about how often you will be using two hands to open your drawers. Would love to know what your counter top material is, your kitchen is going to be gorgeous! Stick with just the pull cups on all the drawers.

Mixing in 7" pulls on anything but the cabinets will definitely break up the classic, clean aesthetic. Use the 7" pulls, vertically on cabinet doors. On wider drawers, while 2 cups wouldn't be a bad idea, what should be the deciding factor is the symmetry and amount of space between each cup and the edge of the drawer. If by putting 2 cups on the wider drawers will cause them to look "bunched" or too close to the drawer edge, stick with the single cup even on the wider drawers.

For the look you are trying to achieve, simplicity and symmetry are key. Like 7 Save. Beautiful kitchen. Please post your after pictures , best of luck to you. Like 2 Save. Eva Braca 7 years ago. Arnal Photography 7 years ago. Not sure I'd go with library pulls on that kitchen style. If you're in love with them, I'd go two. Otherwise one larger pull would be better for the rails as well as the esthetic of the space. Like 1 Save.

Sustainable Dwellings 7 years ago. I used handles and knobs, just one on eadh cabinet door or drawer. WaterMark design. I agree with khillen I used one cup on the small drawers and two on the large drawers. Knobs on the tiny drawers and cabinets. You need to make sure your bin pulls are large enough to properly distribute the weight of the drawer. Danielle Mac 7 years ago. I would use one nickel pull handle for the wider drawers, something similar to this kitchen.

I think it creates a cleaner finish. Tricia Hauser Tidemann 7 years ago. I think the larger drawers look best with two bin pulls. One would look disproportionate to the size of the drawer being opened and may look like you skimped on the pulls.

Where is this project located? Just curious as to what the average cost, or linear foot cost, is charged in your area for these cabinets with the recessed doors? Is that Carrera marble on the tops, or its it granite? If it's marble, be very careful. Any hard object will scratch the tops for sure if they slide across. Also, staining will be a concern. Hairline scratches can't come out without doing some on site re-polishing, which can cost a lot. We're located in Hingham, MA. The counters are "wicked white" quartzite.

It's a lighter version of the "super white" and much more durable than marble. M V 7 years ago. I like the cup pulls, and on the drawers I would consider 2. Would you consider going black or oiled bronze really its black , I think it would look fabulous. Although the polished chrome is also very nice - the black would be higher contrast. Your kitchen looks really lovely - the millwork is really beautiful. Kudos to your kitchen fabricator and contractor. Have you got a backsplash chosen?

Staged 2 Sell Solutions Inc. But I also like the library pulls, glass pulls to add some "bling to the kitchen" We worked on these 2 kitchens and chose 2 different type of pulls, I like them both.

We used a combination of pulls on this project.

Used 2 knobs on drawers with less depth and larger pulls on deep drawers for better weight distribution. Cabinet doors have their own style pull. Good luck! We are just about to install a very similar kitchen and are using two cup pulls on each drawer. My dilemma is whether to also use the cup pulls on the cupboards centred on the bottom of the wall cabinet, we have no base cabinets, only drawers. They look awkward to me, even placed at the bottom.

I would use knobs on the cabinets if you are using cup pulls on the drawers. One will work for large drawers, and it looks nicer with the other ones. Julia Starr 7 years ago. You're probably right feeny. I haven't really found many pictures with cup pulls on the cabinets which indicates its probably not a good choice. I learned the hard way. I painted a west facing dressing room Monroe bisque because it complimented the bathroom marble.

Yuk and yuk! There is a general rule to use cool undertones on south and west facing rooms and warm for north and east facing rooms, because of the sun. I have Storm in my diing room with a light blue ceiling and love it! But I can't say it will be right for you. Beige looks good with grey. Also, Dove White is another favorite of the designers on Houzz.

Anyway love your kitchen! Love ccwatters advice! I also thought about looking back at design pictures - particularly of the Pottery Barn pieces and your cabinetry inspirations. Sym Rankin Original Author. Thanks everyone for your great advice. Yes, I am going to do a backsplash and will probably do it in white subway tile.

Can't afford that until after I have moved in. I visited another BM store today and brought a sample of my cabinet to try to match some colors. The guy at the store put it under his computer and came up with the color BM graystone. I went up the color chip and got some samples of silver chain and gray huskie which were lighter colors and it really blended well with the tone of the cabinets. Got some big chips to bring to the house tomorrow to see how it looks with the lighting at different times of the day.

Wish me luck. My kid got a pedestal sink and I have no cabinets in the laundry so I could get these gray cabinets. Want to make sure I choose the right color. Thanks again for your help. My inspiration piece? A oval staub graphite cast iron pot I got off the sale rack at Williams Sonoma.

See picture with the pot and cabinet against my floor. I think you should just go for it and be brave! Here are a couple pics I found on Houzz. The one with the red is cool. Just thought I would throw it in there.

Like 6 Save. I know you said you want color, but I agree with all that said to wait until your floor is exposed to decide. I think a gray and white kitchen is beautiful. Use your Pottery Barn white dishes against a white wall. It will look classic and clean. Pop in some yellow accessories too. Love, love gray and yellow. Like 4 Save. Only problem is that this is a whole great room. Next to the kitchen is a dining room and beyond that is the living. I need to unify the space and I need a light gray color on the wall.

I plan to use brown furniture and pop color thru accessories. Then I need to have other gray colors flow thru the house. I have a entrance hall and stairwell that continues thru the great room. I have a brown wood distressed table that will go in the dining area.

My couch is chocolate velvet. Which will change in the future. I am putting two benson pendants above the peninsula. This is a picture standing the kitchen. I have lots of light in the space.

Any suggestions? I think something extra special on the fireplace wall would be great. Then leave the rest very neutral. Your house is gorgeous. I love the kitchen cabinets. Again, I would wait until your ebony floors are exposed before buying a couple gallons of paint. I wanted to point out, however, that it looks like you have a substantial 'separation' between your kitchen and dining area. If I had to pick a direction without the floors being exposed, I would keep the kitchen walls a white BM Dove White maybe to keep that area very bright due to the gray cabinets.

You would have to make sure it complements the particular gray tone of your cabinets, of course, but it's one idea. Again, you could bring in more 'color' by way of pictures on walls, vases, etc. You could even put the Revere Pewter in the kitchen if it ends up wotking with your gray on your cabinets, but I personally would keep the walls bright and let that room kind of sparkle on its own, a bit of a focal point. Don't be fooled by the paint swatch, put it against white and you can see how pretty it is.

I would lean toward "light" colors, however, as you are going to have a very dark floor. I also have crystal cabinets and I am very happy with them. We stayed with a light color that picks up on the gray tones.

Benjamin Moore Pale Oak. We also painted the ceilings the same color and it looks great. I am not crazy about an "accent wall" I think it will take away from the great color of your cabinets. Shades of green are great with gray. Hockey made methinks of Pottery Barn's colors. I found this picture and I am in love. Went to the Benjamin Moore store and they put a cabinet sample under their computer.

Came up with cape may cobblestone Went up the chip to a lighter color and chose silver chain. Really looks good in all the and places in the great area.

Also painted the lighter color shoreline but seems like silver chain is the best. This color chip really blends with the cabinets much more than any other I have tried. Another friend recommended stonington gray brown tone , but this looked better.

In the main areas I will use silver chain and in the study, laundry and powder I will go down and use cape may cobblestone. Below are two pictures of the cabinets with the lighter colors. Should I go lighter or darker? Like 5 Save. I like the second picture. I assume it is the lighter one? It just looks so good with the cabinet color.

Therefore the second is the better choiceI'm Have a? Did you ever pick up those color charts I suggested? The colors you have are quite close-just a little off in undertonejust wondered I actually kind of like the first one Very nice!

Hi Sym Rankin, Marie here. Wow - gorgeous blank canvas. Well done. DO NOT pick your paint colour until you have decided on a few more key pieces in this space. What colour are your dishes?

Are you going to be adding any furnishings in here? Is there an opportunity to introduce fabric on chairs, window treatments? Tea Towels, oven mitts, all play a roll in your monotone palette, so do accessories Do you want everything gray or do you want a pop of colour? Where are you going to put that colour? DO NOT take advise for colour online, there are way too many variables.

My best advice for you - pick your top three or four paint swatches. Tape those paint swatches to a blank piece of white paper. Repeat this process about 5 to 7 times, so you can hang that piece of paper on different walls. Tape the pieces of paper with the paint chips on each wall facing a different direction this obtains varying degrees of hue and saturation from natural sunlight hitting the colour. THEN, at different times of the day, look at each piece of paper, the one your eye is drawn to and appeals to the most at that moment - gets a "check mark".

At the end of a couple of days or a week of repeating this, the paint chip with the most check marks is your perfect paint colour!

Good Luck I'm here to help if you need more info Got some sample pints and I have painted these colors everywhere in the house. Have the weekend to decide. I know it is hard to tell online but the silver chain works best with the tone of the cabinets.

Remember this is a black highlight which takes the original paint to a completely different tone. The cabinet designer was over yesterday and thought the silver chain was better. Answers to your questions Shelves will be iron corbels with reclaimed wood shelves. Two shelves on each side of the windows. Dishes are pottery barn great white collection. I plan to bring color into the kitchen with accessories.

Two benson pendents in polished nickel will be above the peninsula. Knobs on the cabinets will be an dark oil rubbed bronze I have a distressed medium brown farmhouse looking table with iron bottom that will be going into the dining area.

Will add color to the window seat and living room. In the cuter may do subway cararra or white tiles for a backsplash. The cabinets are beautiful and I want those to stand on their own.
