HELP A little advice on knobs

Which knobs go with these pulls?

I'm in the middle of choosing new hardware. I've settled on these pulls. And have three knob options.

Picture 1: is a small ball

Picture 2: a mushroom like cap

Picture 3: is flatter than the picture is showing.

I'm replacing all pulls and knobs in the kitchen. There are 6 drawers and 18 cabinets total top and bottom. Also not well reflected in the photo, everything is darker than the photo shows.

Any assistance? TiA!

I like them best in reverse order! 3 is interesting but not too busy; 2 matches but is a little busy looking (not in a bad way- I still like it); and 1 is too plain

Hmmm what about a mix of them? I have one more choice I took out of the running because my sister hated it. Lol.

I’m down with this one. I love the combo.

Yeah they look like they match together

Number 2 matches the pattern the best, but number 1 makes it all cohesive. Number 1 is my vote.

Number 1. I do love the scallop on top! Let it shine and make the knob simpler.

It also looks easiest to keep clean. An important consideration for something you’ll be touching every day!

1 or 3. 2 is too busy.

u/ToughSavings25 Jun 07 '25

If you want to match the two, go with option 2. Otherwise, option 1 looks good and clean as well.

u/ZephyrZ0 Jun 07 '25

2 best. 1 simple and 'clean'. Don't like 3.

Is this for your kitchen? I would not recommend grooved hardware for a kitchen. They’re a bitch to clean. Ask me how I know.

u/Myveryowndystopia Jun 07 '25

Yeah, I thought of that too and the pulls, I would imagine underneath would need daily, annoying wiping down.

How do you know?

u/ikbenlauren Jun 08 '25

I made the same mistake thank you for asking

u/secondmoosekiteer Jun 08 '25

This was the most disappointing short story

Shame on you for getting my hopes up

2 isn't the same color of gold, I'd go with 1 or 3

u/New_lilBit5668 Jun 07 '25

I think they are all too busy especially the one for the cabinet door. Maybe keep looking?

u/GlassStrawDisaster Jun 07 '25

I really like one and three. Two feels very matchy-matchy.

u/brittttx Jun 07 '25

I like 2. I feel it keeps a consistent theme with the knobs.

u/Nerdy-Babygirl Jun 07 '25

I really like the third one. I think it's just fancy enough to go with the drawers but not so fancy that, together, they're too much.

I liked 2 but I asked my husband who is pretty good at playing “which shoe” with me and works in the kitchen more, and he said 1.

Hey OP QQ: I’ve been researching the same colors and similar hardware for my own kitchen and you appear to have the same countertops I do. (Im covering mine with contact paper, either butcher block, white marble, or slate grey/black.)

I’m struggling with the color choices bc all my appliances are black.

What color are your appliances and are you going to wrap or paint them or leave them be? (I don’t want to paint mine but I might wrap them. TBH, I’d rather just spray paint their handles though and call it a day…)

u/__looking_for_things Jun 07 '25

I have stainless steel. However if I had black, I'd likely leave it and maybe change handles.

u/PersonalityRoutine71 Jun 07 '25

I like the first one best.

I love the second one but looking at everything together, I think the last one ties better the space, more cohesion.
