Richelieu Livingston Collection: A Pull-Only Line Built Around the Base Metal
A Quiet, Function-First Pull Offered in Several Base Metals
The Livingston Collection from Richelieu is a pull-only family with a straight, utilitarian handle, minimal posts, and no surface ornament. The profile is meant to recede into a slab or Shaker door rather than draw the eye, reading as working hardware instead of a focal point. What distinguishes Livingston within the Richelieu range is the material mix: the same understated shape is produced in solid brass, stainless steel, and plain steel. That makes the base metal a real design decision rather than an afterthought. Stainless steel stands up to wear in heavy-use kitchens, solid brass carries warmer tones and pairs well with warmer palettes, and steel keeps a straightforward neutral finish. Center-to-center spacings cover the working range for both cabinet doors and drawers, so one profile can run through an entire room without a finish or shape break.
Where Livingston Fits and How to Spec It
Livingston suits modern and transitional kitchens, laundry rooms, and built-ins where durability and a calm line matter more than detail. Running the same pull across doors and drawers produces a unified slab-cabinet result; size longer pulls onto wide drawer banks and appliance panels for proportion. Because the line is pulls only, source a coordinating knob in a matching tone if upper doors need hardware. In a kitchen that sees hard daily use, choosing the stainless steel option from the start is the simplest path. Compared with Richelieu pull families such as Lincoln and Padova, Livingston leans further toward plain function, trading decorative shaping for the flexibility of selecting the substrate to match wear and tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials is the Richelieu Hardware Livingston Collection available in?
The Livingston Collection is offered in solid brass, stainless steel, and steel — all under the same design profile. This means the buyer selects the base metal as a deliberate specification alongside size, rather than treating it as an afterthought. Finished metal variants are also part of the line.
Is the Livingston Collection suitable for a full kitchen, or is it limited to certain cabinet types?
Livingston spacings span the working range for both cabinet door and drawer use, so one pull profile can cover an entire kitchen. The line is also suited to laundry rooms and built-ins where a calm, durable pull is needed. The key limitation to plan around is that Livingston is a pull-only family, so a coordinating knob from a matching finish must be sourced separately for any upper doors that require knob hardware.
How does the Livingston Collection compare to other Richelieu pull families like Lincoln or Padova?
Where Lincoln and Padova are comparable Richelieu pull families, Livingston's distinguishing feature is its explicit multi-metal offering — the same straight, utilitarian shape is available in solid brass, stainless steel, and steel, letting buyers match the base metal to the kitchen's demands. Livingston's profile is intentionally minimal with no surface ornament, positioning it toward slab and Shaker door applications where the hardware is meant to recede rather than stand out.
What door and drawer styles work best with the Livingston Collection?
Livingston's straight handle with minimal posts and no surface ornament is designed to disappear into slab or Shaker-door cabinetry. The profile suits modern and transitional kitchens where a functional, low-visual-weight pull is preferred over decorative detail. Running the same pull across doors and drawers — sizing longer pulls for wide banks and appliance panels — produces a unified result on flat-front cabinet runs.
