Design Matters | Is Brass The New Black?

A Touch of Warmth

Whether you’re looking for a quick way to update the look of your kitchen or bathroom, or looking to entirely renovate your space, consider bringing in a touch of warmth with brass hardware.

While cabinet hardware and sink faucets are physically small, with in the larger context of remodeling a room, replacing them can have a dramatic effect on the overall look of your space. These visually charming fixtures can make a bold design statement in your decor, no matter your style.

Versatility

Gold and brass are quickly replacing the typical shiny, stainless steel hardware in kitchens and bathrooms. Fortunately, it’s not the shiny polished brass circa the 1980’s and 1990’s. Today’s brass is more aged or brushed - giving a classic vintage look that works great with a variety of colors and styles.

Brass knobs, pulls, and latches are quite versatile, working with painted, white, and stained cabinetry. Brass hardware really shines in conjunction with a wood countertop!

Durability

Brass cabinet hardware is among the most durable in the industry. They can withstand years of use without losing their strength or beauty. Since kitchen and bath cabinets can be exposed to harsh conditions, such as frequent use and water damage, solid brass hardware is the way to go.

Mix and Match

Brass makes for a brilliant accent and adds a sophisticated warmth to any space, bringing an understated glamour with an industrial edge to your decor. Don’t be afraid to mix brass with different metals. No need to go replace all of your stainless steel appliances! The days of just one hardware color are (almost) over, so consider brass for your next kitchen or bathroom remodel.
