Handles or no handles?
Comments (9)In my opinion... 1. Overhead Cupboards: - no handles gives more of a clean/streamline contemporary look - no push/pull mechanism either (I personally think the click-clack noise is annoying) I would suggest making the cupboard doors slightly longer (approx. 20mm) than the frame base for ease of pull-open, then you could also add soft-close mechanisms so you can just push-close without the door slamming (little round rubber pads on the frame would also work just as well) 2. Base Cabinets (btw you didn't specify doors and/or drawers??): - no push/pull mechanism (for the same reason stated above) - with handles, but in stainless steel is a must (not the cheap coated metal ones) Pros: easy to open, no dirty finger marks on doors (particularly harder to clean if matt surface) Cons: can't think of any, other than the look of the handles (but get nice ones... see the Block's Josh & Charlotte's kitchen handles... just wow, imo) - without handles, but would highly recommend gloss surface Pros: again clean/streamline contemporary look Cons: dirty finger marks and food/liquid spillage into the gap Either way your base cabinets, whether that be doors or drawers, should definitely be soft close... an extra cost, but one you certainly won't regret... And if you do decide to go with no handles and if you can afford it (very $$) then check out: http://www.blum.com/au/en/01/60/20/ Good luck! :)...See Morekitchen cabinet handle size help
Comments (4)I was about to say all our handles are the same size, but they’re not. They’re all proportional to the drawer width. A combo of 165 on 440, 230 on 590 & 760, and 355 on 960. I remember I probably drove the cabinetmakers nuts cos I couldn’t make up my mind about what, to them, may have been a such minor issue! Handles! I feel for you/know what it’s like. :-)...See Morekitchen cabinet handle decision- please help!
Comments (11)Nice kitchen casdyson1! I rather like the idea of black handles, esp seeing your window frames are black and the track for sliding door is black; however, I do understand your hesitation. Out of those two samples, I prefer the Brushed Brass. It's prettier and the rounded design will feel better in your hand (ergonomic). It would be helpful to know what your backsplash will be, and if you plan any additional feature lighting in kitchen. It may alter my thinking....See MoreSelecting knobs and handles for cabinets (Australia)
Comments (9)Your kitchen, do what you love. The style police won't be raiding and deducting points. But before you do make a decision make sure you check out the beautiful range of knobs and handles at Hepburn Hardware. https://hepburnhardware.com/ They are pricier than Bunnings, but you get what you pay for when it comes to cabinetwork hardware.
