Mix and match or all the same

10 years ago

I'm doing a contemporary bathroom using this schaub italian design mosaic tile in polished chrome. Would it look better if all the pulls were the same size and shape or would it have more pizazz if I mix square pulls on drawers and rectangular pulls on cabinet doors? Altogether, there are 14 pulls. Six are drawers and 8 are cabinets.

Hi Ebbsh,

We apologize for the delayed response. This Schaub Italian Design Mosaic Tile is beautiful! It adds glamour to any cabinetry!

As for which pulls to use for your bathroom, it depends on the size of your drawers and cabinets. It looks good to mix the knobs with the pulls, one type for cabinet doors & one type for cabinet drawers. Typically people put the pulls on the drawers and knobs on the cabinet doors.

Here's an example of the mixed hardware & of the Mosaic pulls on cabinetry. Ultimately, it is your preference that should determine how you want your bathroom hardware to look.

Let us know if you have any more questions! Thanks!

Thank you kindly for your response. I was thinking that I would do the knobs on the drawers and the pulls on the doors because we have a tall cabinet (floor to ceiling height) that I think might look better with longer pulls than small knobs. I do have another question about that cabinet There are four doors on it. The cabinet is not divided equally though. The bottom half is much taller than the upper portion. I don't know whether to put the same size pulls on both sections or use smaller pulls on the upper half.

HELP: Small L-shaped kitchen with refuse chute on wall!
Q

Are you saying that cooking next to the chute would gross you out even if its covered? Andd to use it for its intended purpose? In the first picture, it looks like the stove is directly underneath the chute, but I can see in other pics that it is not. I think it is far enough away. If everything is bagged properly, it shouldn't be that bad. You will have to check on local code regarding having the stove next to the window. Code may make your decision for you. People usually just put shorter cabinets above that type of range hood. I would recommend doing so because you need all the storage you can get. The hood--being different from the bank of cabinets--will provide relief to the eye. With cabinets above, it'll still feel balanced. And, as for covering the chute, do you want to cover it and restrict access or do you still need to use it for its intended purpose and just want to camouflage it? To help the room feel pleasant, cheery, and light, I recommend using a glass tile. Even though it's applied to a wall, the translucency still shows and evokes a sense of the adjectives above. I think it would help keep things light. Consider a slightly higher toe-kick underneath the lower cabinets. It helps to create a lighter-footed feeling. You could also consider cabinets that have furniture style feet. for a more open feeling. Your kitchen seems like an ideal room to use modern, lacquered cabinets. I don't know if you like the super-modern look, but I think it could be nice. Maybe just for the uppers. Use a medium-to-light toned wood on the bottom. A limestone floor might be nice. Or you can do wood or laminate. You could go with dark or light. I think it's mostly about preference.

These are the color we are going to choose from. Our living room got one side is all window as shown in the picture. One side has two doors towards kitchen and a small storage room. We would like to put the Sofa in the middle to divide the living room into living area and dining area. Also we would like to paint the wall into a different shades than the rest of the room. Any recommendations?

Hi Rachel, yes I know not many people like this kind of style. As mentioned, I don't feel very strongly for it, but i feel that this style is the most unpretentious and honest. Straight to the point, very functional. Not sure if I am explaining it properly, as I have no design background.

New black tiles with stain / Grout haze
Q

Hi Thrishna, looks like you've put quite a lot of effort cleaning it already. Have you already tried the following: • Oxygenated bleach • Warm water • Coarse scrubbing brush (like an old toothbrush) • Towel • Lemon • Grout sealer TIP: Cleaning coloured grout should be done with special care. Bleaching agents (like chlorine bleach) can discolour and harm the coloured grout. Fortunately, oxygenated bleach does not contain corrosive chemicals and is safe to use on all grout. For those impossible-to-remove stains, you might want to consider: A commercial tile and grout cleaner A coarser brush (avoid using metal bristles, though, as they can erode the grout) Grout stain-proof If after you’ve tried all three, the stain is still hanging strong, you may have to resort to removing the old grout and replacing it with new. I got the above tips from our article "Household Headaches: How to Clean Tile Grout" here: https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/household-headaches-how-to-clean-tile-grout-stsetivw-vs~33806355 It's quite an extensive guide, so you might want start out with the lightest options?

Typically, the same size pulls are used throughout one room. Here is an example of that and a similar cabinet that you're describing.
