Can I go with just knobs?
March 14, 2011
Megat from Muar, Johor asks... I have just had new kitchen cabinets put in. I am wondering if it is okay to go with only knobs instead of knobs and handles. Will this look okay? Does it fit in with the trends? Also, is it better to put the knobs in the bottom corner or 3 inches up from the corner? Thank-you.
NECD responds...
This is a question of function as well as aesthetics. It is much easier to pull a drawer open with a handle than a knob, especially for seniors. Handles look more contemporary than knobs, especially wide sleek ones and these are placed on both drawers and cabinet doors. If you go with knobs on the upper cabinets, they should be installed just above the moldings or in the case of flat panel doors, about 2" from both edges.
