An age-old question, should I use knobs or pulls on the bathroom vanity.

When considering whether knobs or pulls is better, you should really look at your design. Knobs can look fantastic in the right space but are more challenging to grip.
A benefit of knobs is they are very easy to clean due to their simple, circular design. Pulls are also easy to clean, but require an extra step to make sure you reach the underside of the pull.
Designing using knobs can give you a more classic look, while pulls look a little more modern. The reality of knobs and pulls in your bathroom is really just a matter of personal opinion and taste.
Can you mix knobs and pulls on bathroom cabinets?
Mixing knobs and pulls on bathroom cabinets can help you provide an attractive aesthetic to your home. Being able to mix and match can help add interest to your bathroom.
Mixing and matching knobs inside your bathroom has become a popular way to add dimension to your home! By doing so, you are able to use multiple looks!
Are pulls better than knobs?
This vanity is designed with three pulls. The three simple pulls highlight a clean and minimalist look. The vanity is available in espresso, white, grey, and navy blue colors.
While knobs and pulls may seem different, they both functionally accomplish the same task. Knobs are smaller and circular while pulls are longer and narrow.
Knobs require you to grip a smaller circular space. Pulls allow you more space to grab.
While knobs are easier to clean, pulls are less likely to catch on clothes. But really, there are pros and cons to both, and the real choice is what looks better in your space.
