Brushed brass, matte black, and brushed nickel continue to be some of the most popular hardware finishes, and each brings a different feel to a kitchen.

Brushed nickel is often the safest choice because it works with almost anything and tends to age well. Matte black is popular in more modern or two-tone kitchens, while brushed brass adds warmth and pairs especially well with wood tones and softer neutrals.

In terms of shape, simple bar pulls remain a favourite because they’re practical, easy to grip, and work well on both drawers and doors. Knobs still have their place, especially in more traditional spaces, but many homeowners find pulls more comfortable for everyday use.

Hardware trends do change faster than cabinet styles, so it usually makes sense to choose something classic and functional rather than overly trendy. The nice thing is that hardware is one of the easiest things to update later if your taste changes.
