Kitchen drawer handles placement.

The placement and positioning of cabinet hardware also makes a kitchen more functional. This can offer a cleaner more contemporary appearance and it also is easier to operate your drawers with. Rather than using two pulls on wide drawers you can use a single pull that is longer in length. Longer lengths for longer drawers.

But you may want to place the pulls closer to the top. Knobs pulls and other handles are like jewelry for cabinets. The alternative to centering your hardware is to place it on the upper frame piece or on a slab drawer in the upper quarter of the drawer. If you have large deep drawers you ll still want to center the pulls horizontally.

It usually looks better and it s easier to open a deep drawer when the handle is toward the top. Using a pull that is approximately 1 3 the length of the drawer is a good rule of thumb. With multiple drawers stacked on top of each other choosing this placement makes each knob a little lower and harder to reach. To place this hardware correctly divide the drawer into thirds and place the hardware in the left and right portions of the drawer.

But before you drill any holes you should know that there is a science behind knob and handle. The right kitchen cabinet hardware can complement and accentuate the lines colors and textures of your space.
