Selecting knobs and handles for cabinets (Australia)

Hello all. We are currently renovating our kitchen and I’m finding it difficult to choose knobs and handles. The cabinets will be matt white shaker style (new) with existing white stone benchtops and mint green subway tile splashback (backsplash). We have stainless steel appliances and a black induction cooktop. The kitchen tap is polished chrome with a stainless steel sink but these are old and will be changed in the near future.

This is the cabinet doors: https://www.tesrol.com.au/project/design-593-ep3s/

I’m thinking of going for a more transitional look. I like these but not sure if they’re right also can’t decide between the polished and brushed nickel.

The large cup pulls and dome knob here: https://www.castella.com.au/category/pull-handles/decade-kitchen-cabinet-handle/

Are the knobs too prominent? Any other ideas we could consider? Thanks

    Brushed nickel is my preference.
    Knobs and handles are a good pick. Larger door knobs are easier to use if have grasping difficulty eg: arthritis. Just do not think about how they look. But who and how they will be used.

    The cup pulls and dome knobs would be good.
    As per your post.
    In brushed nickel.

    Your kitchen, do what you love. The style police won't be raiding and deducting points. But before you do make a decision make sure you check out the beautiful range of knobs and handles at Hepburn Hardware.

    They are pricier than Bunnings, but you get what you pay for when it comes to cabinetwork hardware.


    Best of luck,
