Because of the length of the pull and overall size, it can be much easier to open a cabinet or drawer with a pull.Ĭonsider the amount of surface area you need to open a drawer. When you see a bar-like appearance, you are typically viewing a pull. Pulls typically are seen on large doors or drawers. If you have a smaller cabinet or slim drawer, consider a knob that is less than 1.25 inches. The size of your knobs should be in proportion with the size of your cabinet or drawers. Often, they are small and strategically placed a few inches from your cabinet’s corner. It is as simple as pulling open the door or small drawers to get your item. Knobs help you get to whatever is on the other side of the door. In the end, it is your own personal preference and a great way to give your beautiful cabinets a custom appearance.

Both rooms give off a modern style with such a simple design that is enhanced by the cabinet hardware placement and materials. In our pantry, however, we used a combination of brass hardware with cup pulls, bar pulls, and drawer pulls. In our office, we used a mixture of gold hardware with both cabinet pulls and an elegant, yet simple knob on the cabinet drawers. I love that while we have the same cabinets in these rooms, the hardware we chose makes them look totally different. ![]() You’ll notice that in each of these rooms, we used different styles and a different type of hardware. The white cabinets are further highlighted by the hardware we chose and different finishes.
