So, all that’s left to do is grab your cuppa and take a tea break ☕️ Here’s everything you need to know about 2022’s top cabinet hardware trends. Sleek Modern Pulls
The first of our hardware ideas for the home is one of the most popular cabinet hardware options out there – slim and sleek pulls. Ideal for minimalist kitchens, pull handles subtly tuck into your chosen storage units, making them effortlessly stylish and easy to get to grips with. For clean-cut angles and sophisticated shaping, accessorise your cupboards and units with our GERMAIN Brushed Lip Pull Handle. If you’d prefer to round off your kitchen with something softer, our MERCURY Curved Lip Pull Handle is loved by homeowners for its curved edges and barely-there finish. Both these handles look as great on brightly coloured kitchen units, as they do on natural wood kitchen cabinets.Alternatively, you may want your hardware to add a subtle , unique edge to your cabinets. Our newest KNIGHT Ring Pull has a versatile style that will add a touch of architectural intrigue to any interior touchpoint. Combining Knobs And Pulls
A well-thought-out combination of knobs and pulls not only adds more interest to your interior touchpoints, but it also gives you more opportunities to let your unique style shine through. We appreciate that consistency is key in interior design, which is why our Mix and Match collections of cabinet knobs and handles have been carefully crafted to complement one another.For soft detailing and curved edges galore, pair our LUDLOW T-Bar Handle with a complementing modern cabinet knob like our brand new CAVE Knob. There’s nothing stopping you using knobs from different collections in one room. CAVE can be grouped with our another new addition, LUNA Round Halo Knob and HALLEY Sphere Knob for subtle variety that makes a difference.To give your rooms a first-class finish, you also use different handles together. For example, our BLAKE Minimalist Handle and VOLTA D-Bar Slim Handle both have a simple, angular shape that would sit beautifully against your classic kitchen units, bespoke bedroom wardrobes, upcycled sideboards or under stairs cupboards.
Satin Or Matte Black Finishes
The finish you choose for your hardware can have a huge impact on the overall look of your interiors. As far as trendy hardware ideas go, you can’t go wrong with incorporating satin or matte black finishes into your design schemes:Satin nickel
Give your bedroom furnishings and kitchen cabinets a modern finish with satin nickel hardware. This steely shade will leave your space feeling clean and cool, but definitely not cold. Think of satin nickel as a light and bright finishing touch that works just as well for drawing attention to lighter coloured units as it does for uplifting those in darker shades.Matt black
To make a bolder statement without going over the top, try using handles and knobs in a matt black finish. Black is most commonly used in homes with an industrial or modern aesthetic, but it also works wonders in cottages and rustic-inspired spaces. You’ll find that black has a go-with-everything quality and complements the texture and grain of natural timber 🪵Colour Pops
Are you more of a fan of bright colours than metallics? Or perhaps you’re keen to put a creative spin on your little one’s bedroom? Either way, we’ll think you’ll get fantastic use from our collection of colourful hardware 🌈 These door knobs are the practical touches guaranteed to bring a splash of joy to your Scandi style city kitchens, bedrooms, children’s playrooms and nurseries.Our KLEIN Peg Knob is a model that feels as pleasing as it looks – weighty and solid, and available in pink, aqua and cobalt. With a slightly longer profile, our KLEE Button Knob allows for a slightly firmer grip, which could be better for smaller hands if you are thinking of fitting this in your child’s room.If you’re starting your renovation or DIY work from scratch, why not use this colour palette to inspire your design scheme? Another way you can use this colourful collection is converting the door knobs into mini clothes hooks with our Knob to Hook Conversion Kit. Name a cuter playroom or nursery accessory 👶
Industrial Modern Hardware
Taking cues from old factories and workshops, industrial decor is a popular variant of minimalist style that can be mixed with many different decorative tastes. While it’s typically associated with modern studio apartments and city dwellings, an industrial style can give a cool and gritty edge to your farmhouse or Scandinavian inspired home.Industrial style embraces raw, architectural elements such as metallic colour palettes and textured surfaces, creating a casual, relaxing atmosphere. Our premium collection of industrial grey hardware includes our FRANKLIN Knurled Door Knob, which has a knurled texture for an easy and assured grip. Combine this with our KEPLER Knurled T-Bar Handle to create consistent flow throughout your interior touchpoints. For your larger kitchen and utility cabinets, appliances such as concealed fridges or built-in dishwashers, as well as your floor to ceiling wardrobes, opt for our KEPLER Heavyweight Knurled Handle.
Minimalism
One of the easiest ways to create a calming home environment is by taking a less is more, minimalist approach. Subtlety is the name of the game here – you want to eliminate any unnecessary details so that your cabinets can become the focal point of the room. To do this, we suggest incorporating minimalist handles like our WATT T-Bar Handle and ROEBUCK Smooth T-Bar Handle. These discreet and elegant accents are soft in shape and available in a range of lengths to help your home become a functional haven. Is a minimalist monochrome palette more your vibe? If so, we’d recommend pairing our matt black hardware with your white cabinets. We think our LOVELL Circular Knob, MAXWELL Button Knob or curvaceous new LUDLOW T-Bar Handle and KNIGHT Ring Pull are all great ones to start with 👀Natural
Another way you can create a tranquil space is by taking inspiration from nature. Think soft, muted colour palettes of browns, greens and off-white shades, warmed up by earthy textures such as travertine, marble and terracotta. Our new SWIRLED Collection of hardware fits in perfectly with this concept. Its decorative swirling texture is inspired by the fluid, curvaceous lines seen in natural forms, from circular shells to wavy tree bark and rippling water 🌊
Available in solid brass and stainless steel, the knurled texture of our SWIRLED hardware plays with the light to create visual accents around your contemporary home spaces ☀️ This collection is a favourite of Katie Seidler, the creative mind behind Hello Haus Interior Design, and you can find out how she’d style SWIRLED in her home here. Another example of how wooden cabinets and brass hardware complement one another is this mind blowing craftsmanship from the team at @bedwynrees. They paired woven wood with our GERMAIN Brushed Lip Pull Handle, a golden highlight that feels oh-so high end. At the same time, the handcrafted nature of the cabinets helps the brass feel more relaxed.
Geometric
If your current cabinets lack something special, why not try adding some intrigue through hardware in geometric shapes? The use of geometric shapes and patterns is most commonly associated with art deco, mid-century and contemporary styled homes. However, don’t be afraid to blend styles and try something new — it’s your home, after all 🏠We prize our geometric hardware products for their unique shape and clean-cut lines, designed especially for your ease of use. Take our HOLST Polygon Knob as a prime example. This sophisticated model contrasts a smooth surface with defined, angular edges that you can get to grips with, feeling hardy in your hands. It pairs perfectly with our PEARCE Polygon T-Bar Handle, which flaunts the same opulent silhouette.
@6ixteencountryhouse chose HUXLEY to compliment their elegant shaker style kitchen.
