Handles or knobs?

[Jan]

I am stumped again and need your help please.

I have attached a photo of the chest of drawers showing the attached knobs and three of the handles which I have just balanced on the knobs for show.

The knobs were easy to fit as I just replaced the then existing knobs. Done in a few minutes. The other option is cup handles. Firstly I think I prefer the handles. I think they make more of an impact. However it would mean a bit of work for DH and, as usual, it would turn into a more difficult job than first thought. Also, the room is a guest room and on average is only used for about three weeks per year. I wonder if it is worth the extra work to attach the handles.

What do you think?

I like the cup handles but for a guest room I probably would just leave the knobs .

I also prefer the handles. But also not sure it worth the extra effort if it is in a room that is rarely used

My dh recently put 30 of these on as you know! They really werent that much of a trouble. The hole from where the nob is currently, used this as a bit of a guide and placed the handle over so hole was middle top inside sort of thing. X

PS are you painting the drawers? X

The finer details make the design!
The laziness in me wants to say just go with knobs but the designer me says most definitely handles.

Keep the knobs otherwise you will always be thinking about the redundant hole left by the original knobs should you replace them with the handle

Mr T - I was rather counting on the handles hiding the original hole.

I looked at these (we needed 17) but decided to buy ceramic knobs instead so I got them from TKMaxx and mix & matched different navy and white designs, and they really brightened it up.

I love the handles, but to make it more interesting but simpler to do, I would replace them with ceramic knobs too. I’ve seen this done a lot lately and it’s a gorgeous way to brighten up a set of drawers easily
