What Size Handles Should I Use?

What Size Handles Should I Use?

Choosing the right size handles for your drawers and cabinets can make a significant impact on both functionality and aesthetics. While personal preference plays a role, design standards suggest that handles should generally span about one-third of the drawer width.

For standard sizing:

  • Smaller drawers (up to 600mm) typically suit handles around 128mm.

  • Larger drawers (600mm to 900mm) often require an increase, with 192mm handles being a common choice.

  • Extra-wide drawers may call for even longer handles or dual handles for balanced proportions.
