Can You Use Bin Pulls On Cabinet Doors

Notice how in this kitchen by shalford interiors the pairs of knobs on the cabinet doors line up nicely with the bin pulls below.

Can you use bin pulls on cabinet doors. For these reasons they re often confined to drawers. For this type of mix to work you need to use opposites. Agree with errant sideways bin pulls just look wrong and the existing hardware pairs well with your cabinets. Of course we often see pulls being used on cabinet doors as well so it really is a personal preference.

I have been known to install pulls horizontal on base cabinet doors just to maintain that line. But you can see in this view that apparently one drawer has a handle instead of a bin pull. 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. 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. The one stand alone knob next to. My personal preference is long horizontal pulls running the length of the base cabinets whether they re drawers or doors. On closer inspection this turns out to be a swing down door that most likely hides a dishwasher.

Never use two warm metals or two cool metals together because it will look mismatched. 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.
