Ellis

Top Knobs Ellis cabinet hardware

Ellis is one of the larger transitional families in the Top Knobs catalog. The line lands most often on projects that want clean lines without crossing fully into modern. Ellis pulls keep a thin rectangular bar with chamfered end caps. The chamfer softens the architectural read just enough to pair with painted cabinetry. Hardware ships from stock, with most orders moving within 1-2 business days.

Where Ellis lands

The line is the transitional default in the brand: painted shaker islands, two-tone kitchens, vanities with paneled fronts, and any cabinetry that wants tailored hardware without ornament. The chamfered end caps catch raking light along the bevel, which gives Ellis a thin highlight line that pure-rectangular pulls don't have. On a heavily traditional kitchen with applied molding the line reads under-dressed; on a fully minimalist slab front, the chamfers can read fussy.

Specifying within Ellis

The line covers cabinet knob, pull, and appliance-pull scales with the chamfered profile held proportionally. Brushed satin bronze keeps the chamfer subtle and warm. Polished chrome turns each bevel into a sharper highlight against painted cabinetry. Most Ellis sizes use standard center-to-center spacing, but verify on the longer appliance-pull lengths. The brand offers them at both 12-inch and 18-inch options that don't match. The chamfer cut is consistent across sizes, but the proportional read changes when scaling from a 96 mm bar pull up to a 24-inch appliance pull. Sample one length before ordering across a kitchen.
