POLL: Kitchen cabinets with or without handles?
Comments (21)It's a tough one! It all depends on the aesthetic you are trying to create. For a flat panel kitchen I think it looks more simple to go for a handless design, and have cut outs in the cabinet doors instead, or push to open doors. Alternatively, for a Shaker style kitchen, I would recommend long pull bars, as I personally think Shaker furniture looks a little strange with out some kind of handle. I have seen some really interesting options available from Armac Martin. Check out these options: http://www.martin.co.uk/products/appliance/bromwich-app http://www.martin.co.uk/products/appliance/arbar Charlie...See MoreKitchen cabinet handles
Comments (6)A good rule of thumb is - the cups would go on the panels that pull away horizontally eg drawers, dishwasher panel etc, and the knobs on doors that swing out vertically. Otherwise putting cups on vertically swinging out doors wouldn't be able to be held onto easily without turning them 90 degrees......which would look odd.....good luck.

Comments (4)We have satin polished nickel handles on our drawers...I believe there is about 5cm each side so they are quite long. I'll try and upload a picture when I get home. I think it looks nicest with long handles plus the more handle there is the easier the drawer is to open imo!...See Morehelp with kitchen knob/handle placement
Comments (23)Thanks guys, these are my latest attempts! Tani the 2 tall non-oven units are a tandem larder and a FF. so yes rinq they will need to open right to left so have changed it. The 2 lower cupboards in the tall oven units also need to open right to left as we will be keeping big kitchen stuff like the magimix in here and I don’t fancy carting it out of the cupboard and then having to manoeuvre my way around a door to get it onto the work surface in the corner! Now stuck what to do with the door for the corner base unit, just realised the door will have to open left to right so the handle/knob for that door will be right next to the handle/knob of the cupboard under the oven. I did quite like putting all knobs on the front side of the island rinq but I thought it looked a bit *too* knobby so I think vertical handles for the doors? Could also put these handles horizontally and centrally...See Moretbyrne309
