Re: Do you have matching handles in the kitchen and laundry? 6May 14, 2012 6:51 am All our wet areas have the same finishes including handles. Our laundry comes off our kitchen and would look funny if it was something different. Re: Do you have matching handles in the kitchen and laundry? 8May 14, 2012 11:47 am I have everything the same throughout my wet areas. Handles, colour cabinets, tiles, paint etc. I wanted consistency. The only thing that differs is floorboards in the kitchen (tiles in other wet areas) and 2 pac in kitchen, laminex elsewhere.

However I think it was more because it reduced the number of things we needed to discuss / choose rather than for any real thought about consistency. Thinking about it, we haven't been consistent with any of the cabinetry, just the handles ha ha.

Everything else (cabinets, tiles, benchtop etc) will be the same as the bathrooms, kitchen is same materials in different colours. Re: Do you have matching handles in the kitchen and laundry? 11May 14, 2012 3:32 pm Our bathrooms have different colored cabinets, the same bench tops in white though. They have the same feature tiles but different colors, we picked the feature tile to match the color of the cabinets in each bathroom. Re: Do you have matching handles in the kitchen and laundry? 12May 14, 2012 8:28 pm I think if your laundry is a distance away from your kitchen, then different handles would be fine. If your laundry is right next to the kitchen and especially if the cabinetry is similar, it's probably better to use the same cabinetry hardware. Since our kitchen is nowhere near the garage, we could probably go for a different look. However, like PS4313 said, we'll probably pick the same handles for everything because it's just one less thing to worry about. 2010, June : Land bought (1700sqm, battleaxe block). That's it so far!

Do you have matching handles in the kitchen and laundry? 14May 15, 2012 7:04 am Kitchen and laundry are no where near each other - and bathrooms are all removed from them as well. No handles in kitchen, plain handles in laundry and kids bathrooms, pretty handles in main ensuite because I pay the bills LOL. Some things are worth waiting for. Re: Do you have matching handles in the kitchen and laundry? 15May 15, 2012 10:04 am We have different handles, and our laundry is off the kitchen. I love my cabinetry and our thoughts were to have small handles so not to cover and hide the beautiful cupboards. But practically, using the kitchen cupboards all the time, we needed proper handles. So we went for the t handle in kitchen and small shell handles in laundry (also have the shell handles in the bath/ensuite). In hindsight, because the laundry is right there with the kitchen, probably should have gone with same handles, but I can close the door and not see it I guess! It doesn't look bad or funny though, but I now think I should have gone the same! Re: Do you have matching handles in the kitchen and laundry? 16May 30, 2012 8:58 am We will have different handles in our wet areas to what will be used in our kitchen. The kitchen even will have two different but matching pulls, shell type ones for drawers and a knob for the cabinets both in a polished nickel. The bathrooms and laundreys will have a clear crystal type knob although I have kept all cabinets white with the same ceasarstone top so that it is all kept the same. This is in keeping with a hampton, beach kinda feel. The best way to see what you like is pictures, pictures, pictures, that's how I've come up with all my ideas for the house. Re: Do you have matching handles in the kitchen and laundry? 17May 30, 2012 10:31 am My kitchen handles are different, they are a pewter look to match in with the country feel, the rest of the house is simple shiney sleek look, this matches the tap, tiles , shower screen and mirror frame, our laundry is no where near the kitchen. Re: Do you have matching handles in the kitchen and laundry? 18May 30, 2012 11:12 am In our appartment everything is the same throughout - handles, cabinets, benchtops, tiles. We are doing the same in our house. Thanks mate. Yeah good points! Leaning towards Option 3 to get a bit extra space in the cabinets but not going too crazy high (and expensive).
