Can You Use Bin Pulls On Cabinet Doors

My personal preference is long horizontal pulls running the length of the base cabinets whether they re drawers or doors.

Can you use bin pulls on cabinet doors.

For these reasons they re often confined to drawers. Agree with errant sideways bin pulls just look wrong and the existing hardware pairs well with your cabinets. Bin pulls tend to look best installed centered and running horizontally and they also function best on drawers and pullouts. I have been known to install pulls horizontal on base cabinet doors just to maintain that line.

Notice how in this kitchen by shalford interiors the pairs of knobs on the cabinet doors line up nicely with the bin pulls below. 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. Of course we often see pulls being used on cabinet doors as well so it really is a personal preference.

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. For this type of mix to work you need to use opposites. 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. The other option is to use contrasting finishes.
