It’s been just over a week since some big changes happened around here and we are excited to share that we are settled and our team is ready to support you with your next home project!
We’re also back with another week of Design Insider Tips! Today, let’s talk about an often-overlooked detail that can make a big impact — cabinet hardware.
Most people think of hardware as purely functional, but it’s actually one of the easiest and most affordable ways to elevate your home’s look. From knobs and handles to hinges and backplates, these small details can add a surprising amount of charm, character, and polish to any space.
3 TOP TRENDING FINISHES:
1. Matte Black – Sleek and modern, matte black hardware has become a go-to for good reason. It adds a bold, clean contrast to both light and dark cabinets, and its versatility means it works beautifully with nearly any design style—from minimalist to farmhouse to industrial. It’s a timeless choice that makes a subtle yet striking statement.
2. Brushed Brass or Vintage Inspired – Warm, inviting, and full of character, these finishes bring a timeless charm to your space. Brushed brass adds a soft, golden glow that feels both elegant and approachable, while vintage-inspired styles evoke a sense of history and craftsmanship. Perfect for adding depth and a touch of luxury without feeling too flashy.
3. Brushed Nickel – A classic choice that bridges the gap between traditional and contemporary styles. Its soft, silvery tone adds a clean, polished look without being too bold, making it ideal for transitional spaces. Durable, versatile, and timeless, brushed nickel is a safe bet that still feels elevated and refined.
Don’t underestimate the power of hardware. Whether you’re updating your door levers, cabinetry pulls, or even furniture knobs, these small swaps can completely refresh the look and feel of your space, without a major renovation.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Match finishes thoughtfully for a cohesive look.
- Update hinges to match your new hardware.
- Pay attention to size and scale for a balanced, custom feel.
- Start with high-traffic areas if you’re upgrading in stages.
- Use hardware to tie the room together with other finishes like lighting or faucets.
It’s a simple, affordable upgrade that delivers a surprising amount of style.
