Hi
I am thinking of changing the kitchen door and drawer handles to modernize the kitchen a little in preparation for possible sale. The kitchen is still reasonably modern but the handles chosen when replaced was at the end of the knob era and commencement of "handles." I can replace the door handles without any problem because the existing screw hole can be utilized for lower handle mount, but drawer handles will not cover knob hole. I can try and hide this to some degree, but will be noticeable.
I have attached some photos of the potential handles from Bunnings selection which I "borrowed" because I hope to buy the chosen one cheaper elsewhere and in bulk -26.
I am interested in opinions on:
(Handle 1 in photos might need to be moved up the door 10mm instead of utilizing existing hole which would have handle sit close to bottom of door - base would still cover existing hole on the outside of door.) Photos continued in next post.

I am interested in opinions on:
- Would the change make the kitchen look a little more modern. I think it would - and add vale above the cost ($5.50-13.76 per handle of those selected, my preferred is $9.90 which is still $257)
- Would the improvement outweigh the negative of the drawer knob holes still being obvious to some extent. (will try white silicon, white caulking, white buttons or caps etc)
- Which handle - see photos where I have rotated handles in each photos.
