Should I Mix Knobs and Pulls?
Although it's definitely possible to coordinate cabinet hardware in different finishes, it's much easier and safer to mix different shapes of knobs and pulls in one matching finish.

.

Beside this, can you mix knobs and pulls?

The easiest way to get started is to mix and match knobs with pulls. See below for where to use each. Find a knob or pull you love, then match it with the coordinating knob or pull. Just be aware that sometimes what makes a gorgeous knob doesn't translate well to a pull design or vice versa.

Subsequently, question is, do hinges and knobs have to match? Firstly, most of the knobs or handles in your home will match. However, on the interior of rooms like your bathroom and kitchen, the doorknob will have a different finish. Yes, it will need to be the same design but you can use two different colors – one for inside and the other for outside the room.

Secondly, should I use knobs or pulls on my cabinets?

There are no strict rules to follow when choosing whether to select a knob or a pull or both. One preference is to use knobs for all doors and pulls for all drawers. For any large door such as a pantry and any pull-out door (including pull-out base pantries or trash pull-outs), use a pull.

Where do you put knobs and pulls?

For pulls (having two screws) on upper cabinets, the pull should be centered horizontally on the door stile and the bottom hole should be placed 2-1/2” up from the bottom of the door. For lower cabinets the upper hole should be placed vertically, 2-1/2” down from the top of the door.
