The “it” color for today’s hardware, matte black, can add a touch of drama or contrast and pairs well with painted or stained finishes. BELOW: A sampling from Schoolhouse.com; they also offer some fantastic guides to use when selecting cabinet hardware.
pdating your cabinet hardware is one of the easiest, most budget friendly ways to make a serious visual impact and elevate your kitchen or bath space. The “it” color right now is matte black because it tends to blend beautifully with all decor styles and offers a striking contrast when used with light-colored cabinetry. Billy Peele at Doug Mockett & Co. notes “Black is interesting because even though it is heavy, used against neutral earthy tones, it provides a pleasant accent. Black hardware with straight lines gives a very serious and sophisticated feeling of elegance. Black gives an edgy look in different ways—black on white for a classic look, black on black for an ultra-chic look, black on bright colors for a bold contemporary look, or black on earth tones for a calming effect.” Have you tried black hardware in your kitchen? I’d love to see it! Email a before and after to me and I’ll post some of my favorites on Instagram. n
