Routed handles on kitchen drawers that can be difficult to get a grip on when fully loaded.
Handles that give good grip purchase but can get caught on as you walk by.

Pull out knife drawer
Comments (16)I think the safety issue is that with this style, the contents are right at a child's eye-level. They'd be much more tempted to play with this draw. I think you'd have to invest in a good child lock. With a regular drawer style, you could have it a slim profile be the top drawer. Less likely for them to easily see the contents. They might not even know what's kept in there. You could even have push release instead of a handle so it appears there is not even a drawer there. Same could be done for the vertical unit. I'd still want to use a child lock though, if I had a kid around. The knife blocks vary in price A LOT. Just saw 7 pce sets online for $69 on sale, $199, $274, $549... I would hope they include knives! You might be better off grabbing a bunch of the RETRATT blocks from Ikea....See MoreLong handles - hanging tea towels?
Comments (5)Hi iggs85. I have mid-sized handles on my own kitchen and also like the practicality of hanging tea-towels on them where the sink doors are. Imake sure I have two matching ones (either by colour, or type). There is such a huge variety of colours, patterns, and materials available in tea towels that they can actually add to the decor, rather than detract from it. If you are really worried about the look then go for a gook or rail on the inside of the door. Cheers, Michelle...See MoreHandles for Kitchen cabinetry

Comments (9)Hi Narella, most manufacturers of induction cooktops such as say Miele and Smeg make their 600mm wide units around 500mm to 505mm deep (front to back) where these fit comfortably into a 600mm deep cabinet, while still allowing for all the clearances, overhangs and venting required. You may like to check with your cabinet maker but as far as I am aware NEFF make their induction cooktops much deeper; making these 546mm deep instead of 500mm. This means that your cabinets also need to be deeper than the "normal" once all the required clearances are taken into account. I am not sure what you mean when you say this will not work with the rest of your cabinets. If you are positioning your NEFF cooktop above your underbench oven as it is shown in your original photo; then it appears that your cabinet maker has again done the right thing and has actually made all your adjacent cabinets the same depth; whereby preserving these clean modernist lines of your kitchen.
