fyi. the pics are low quality so the coloring is way off - the tiles are actually green/gray but they look pinkish in the photos.

I'll preface my vote by saying that I am more tranditional/transitional in style and a big fan of symmetry, whenever possible. So, no surprise that I prefer Option 1.

*traditional

I hate it when I make typos... even more than asymmetry! lol

From a strictly engineering POV, they should be centered on the drawer otherwise you'll be pulling out the drawer at an angle which can cause it to cant and not function smoothly.

That is a good point Annie - I was thinking of that - but these handles are so long that we didn't think it would be an issue.

For example, even if we mounted them in center, people will not necessarily grab in the center and handles are about 12" long. One could grab just the far left inch or just the far right inch and pull with 2 fingers albeit they would still be more centered than if we put handles all to the leftish.

Everything in that photo is so symmetrical that having them asymmetrical just looks like an error to me.

I like #1. The other options give the illusion that the vanity has doors and not drawers.

Your bathroom is FANTASTIC. I love what you have done and if you used Ikea you must have gotten quality and a great deal. I prefer #1 centered the most.

Thanks for all the input. We have installed the handles.
Wow - everyone voted for center - I was a little surprised.

the ikea cabinet is a "holding" piece to get us through inspection. It might stay, or I might have something of the same dimensions made in walnut to match our kitchen cabinet wood. I might wait until it falls apart a little to do that.

I would love to see the walnut. I see that the sides of your existing vanity has a darkness to it. I think walnut in the front would be wonderful.
