What Size Half Moons Do We Use?
Selecting the correct size for half-moon handles ensures both a balanced look and practical usability. At Ookami Studio, we offer our OK.2 Half Moon Pulls in different sizes to suit various cabinetry needs. But how do you determine which size is best for your space?
Why Size Matters
Choosing the right size handle not only affects the aesthetics of your cabinetry but also plays a crucial role in usability. A well-proportioned handle enhances the overall visual balance of the space, while an improperly sized handle may look out of place or be less functional.
For instance, larger drawers require a more substantial grip to ensure smooth functionality, whereas small drawers need something more subtle to maintain a delicate design.
Larger Half Moons
Opt for the larger half-moon handles when you’re working with:
-
Deep drawers – These handles provide a better grip for heavier storage.
-
Large cupboard doors – Ensures proportional balance and ease of use.
-
Statement cabinetry – A bold, modern aesthetic for standout design.
-
Kitchen cabinetry – Ideal for spacious kitchens where larger handles create a more cohesive look.
-
Sliding doors – A practical choice for wardrobe and pantry doors that require a firm grip.
Smaller Half Moons
Choose small half-moon handles for:
-
Less deep drawers – Ideal for compact storage solutions.
-
Smaller cupboard doors – Maintains a refined, minimal look.
-
Furniture pieces – Sideboards and built-ins that require subtle detailing.
-
Bathroom vanities – Perfect for delicate, understated designs in smaller spaces.
-
Children’s room furniture – A proportionate choice for small-scale cabinetry and drawers.
