Never use two warm metals or two cool metals together because it will look mismatched.
Can you use bin pulls on cabinet doors.
In the kitchen shown here the typical swing doors on the upper and lower cabinets have simple round knobs while most of the drawers have bin pulls.
Use a warm metal gold brass copper with a cool metal chrome nickel pewter.
Admittedly having to turn a knob or unhook a latch is not the most practical hardware option on cabinets that get a lot of use.
The other option is to use contrasting finishes.
Paired with these square bin pulls on drawers we love the look of a traditional cabinet latch on cabinet doors like the ones pictured here.
Besides people do not buy houses based on cabinet knobs.
Agree with errant sideways bin pulls just look wrong and the existing hardware pairs well with your cabinets.
Notice how in this kitchen by shalford interiors the pairs of knobs on the cabinet doors line up nicely with the bin pulls below.
Bin pulls tend to look best installed centered and running horizontally and they also function best on drawers and pullouts.
On closer inspection this turns out to be a swing down door that most likely hides a dishwasher.
For these reasons they re often confined to drawers.
My personal preference is long horizontal pulls running the length of the base cabinets whether they re drawers or doors.
The one stand alone knob next to.
I have been known to install pulls horizontal on base cabinet doors just to maintain that line.
