Kitchen Hardware

Matching metal finishes to kitchen and bathroom fixtures is indeed an important design consideration, and different designers have varying preferences and insights. We’ve narrowed it down and compiled some helpful tips!

Metal as Jewelry of a Space: Designers often view metal hardware as the “jewelry” of a room, a critical component of the overall ensemble that can also serve as an eye-catching focal point. It can add sparkle and character to a space, standing out from the other elements like millwork or stone.

Choosing Silver for a Traditional Look: Silver finishes, such as nickel or chrome, are considered traditional choices. These metals are suitable if you aim to create a serene and classic atmosphere in your space. They blend well with stainless steel appliances, providing a cohesive and timeless look. 

Introducing Gold for Modern or Transitional Vibes: If you prefer a more modern or transitional ambiance in your kitchen or bathroom, you can introduce gold accents. Gold finishes can add warmth and a touch of luxury to the space. Mixing silver and gold can create a balanced and stylish contrast, offering a blend of classic and contemporary elements.

Using Brass with Dark Cabinets: When you have black or navy cabinets in your kitchen or bathroom, brass fixtures can be an excellent choice. The contrast between the dark cabinetry and the brass fixtures can create a visually appealing and stylish look.

Brass for Earthy Schemes: Brass is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, particularly because it complements earthy, understated tones that many homeowners desire. Gold and brass work well with warm colors due to their rich tones. However, they can also create striking designs when paired with cool color palettes, offering a touch of unexpected glamour.
