s homeowners attempt to elevate their living, dining, and kitchen spaces, many turn their attention toward selecting the perfect decorative hardware to give these areas that wow factor. From contemporary to classic, from bold colors to more subtle hues, the opportunities are vast when selecting accent hardware. Surface & Panel reached out to industry experts who offered projections for future trends on colors, hottest styles and finishes in decorative hardware. And there are many things to consider when testing the temperature of consumers. "In the decorative hardware side of things, there are particular indicators we look at and one we at Pride Industrial continually watch," explained David Sliney, vice president of sales and business development for Pride Industrial. "Finishes are typically driven by the more expensive purchases such as a faucet; for instance, it's also driven by the colors and styles of the cabinets themselves." Using this data, Sliney forecasts that trending colors on cabinets will mix popular colors from 2021 and some new flavors. Not to mention the use of texture and details that complement these on-trend colors. “As much as everyone loves the farmhouse/shabby chic look, there are examples all over that elegant, intricate detail will dominate. We will begin to see lots of texture on walls, pops of color against neutral and darker colors, and extreme attention to detail on decorative hardware, tiled backsplashes, and texture on surfacing materials,” explained a Richelieu representative.
