Drawer pulls come in a wide variety of shapes, styles, and sizes, and the length of pull you choose should depend upon the width of the cabinet or cabinet. Standard dresser drawers range between 14-30”, while drawers used kitchen cabinets have a wider range from 9-48”.
If you’re looking for a pull for a wide drawer, you should get one that’s just over ⅓ of the length of the drawer. If you pick a pull that’s too short, it’ll look inappropriate on your wide drawer: it’s also more physically challenging to open a wider drawer with a short pull than with a long pull.
Bedroom furniture drawer pulls that are 5” long are easy to grip, yet they’re not too long that they look out of place on a smaller drawer or cabinet. Whichever size you choose, try to be consistent. For example, if you choose a 3.5”-long pull for one drawer but then choose to use 4”-long pulls for some other drawers in the cabinet, the furniture can look haphazard.
If you’re adding drawer pulls to modern or contemporary-style cabinetry, consider using full-length options to lend the drawers or compartments a minimal but functional look.
