Mixing handles on a pantry

I had planned to use the very largest Lansa on all of my drawers/base cabs because I love the look, but use the small Strecket on the wall cabs so those are barely noticeable. Love the look so far. Where I get stuck is with the high cabs. I'm using the 15"w88"t pantry to the left of my frig, with the 30"w88"t pantry with bottom drawers to the right of the frig and an over-frig cab, and this section is across the room from any base cabinets. I had thought to use the long Lansas for the two drawers, with shorter Lansa for the doors, but now I'm thinking to continue using the small Strecket for the pantry doors and overfrig cab, with maybe Lansa for those two pantry drawers.

Unfortunately, the doors aren't up yet, and the carpenter is coming tomorrow to put in doors, drawer fronts and handles all at once.

If anyone can picture what I'm talking about, what do you think? All Lansa on the pantries/overfrig cab, all Strecket on the pantries/overfrig cab, or a mixture?

Re: Mixing handles on a pantry

i think you're fine with a mix, if that's what you like. on my 30" pantry i have snacka on the drawers (just like the rest of the kitchen) and gila on the doors, just like the walls (small on wall doors, long on pantries)

nobody comes in and says, Whoa, you mixed handles... i think it makes sense, so it makes sense

Re: Mixing handles on a pantry

I would mix them. Long Lansa on the drawers, Strecket on the over-fridge and the short top pantry doors. The tall doors could go with either Lansa or Strecket. I think I would do long Lansa on those as well and have them be even with each other, meaning lower on the 30" cab doors and higher on the 15" cab door but all three handles the same distance from the floor. I hope that makes sense.
