Whether you choose nickel, brass, black or any other hardware finish, you can make your kitchen or any cabinets look more like custom cabinetry if you mix your hardware styles.
Use a blend of knobs, latches and pulls on doors and drawers. We love using knobs or latches on doors and pulls on drawers. That being said, we have also seen a lot of knobs used on drawers and love that look as well. The key to this though is to make sure all the hardware is in the same finish.
In both our pantry and our dry bar, we chose to do knobs on the cabinet doors, cup pulls on all the drawers and regular pulls on the appliances. In our home office, we chose to do latches on the cabinet doors and pulls with backplates on our drawers.
