From the Before Closet Archives

  • Drawers (Heavy/Wide): Use Long Handles. Saves energy, saves nails.

  • Drawers (Small): Use Knobs. Saves space, looks cute.

  • Tall Wardrobe Doors: Handle bottom should start 900 - 1000 mm from floor (Hand level).

  • Pantries: Long handles (up to 12"+) create a "Grand" vertical look.
