When it comes to your new home’s details, you want everything to be just perfect. What better way to say that you’ve thought of every little thing than carefully selected home hardware!
From kitchen sinks to door handles, your home’s hardware ties into and reflects the theme of your home. Did you choose terracotta shingles to give your home a Mediterranean feel? Did you go with those light-toned real oak wood floors?
Whatever decisions you make throughout your home building or renovation process all reflect a theme, and your hardware is no different.
While trends come and go, here are a few we know will stick around that you’ll have to have. For a peek into all of the must-have home hardware styles of 2021, keep reading!
Pull Handles
When choosing hardware for your kitchen cabinets, people have realized that the easier your cabinets are to get to, the simpler moving around the kitchen is. So, pull handles have and will continue to grow in popularity.
Whatever finish you decide to go with (we’ll look at these below), an effective and efficient pull handle is the way to go. If you prefer to keep traditional pull knobs, consider knobs for cabinets at eye level and above, and pull handles for everything below the waist. This keeps the style consistent across the whole kitchen but still gives you ease of access.
Metallic Finishes
No, we’re not talking about stainless steel or silver finishes. While still classic, they’re not really trending anymore. We mean those rich copper, brass, and smooth gold finishes.
They add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any piece of furniture or appliance. Use a rustic copper, sleek brass, or antique gold to add a layer of complexity to any simple white cabinet or minimalist guest bathroom.
If you have a lot of knobs on a piece of furniture, go with a simple, refined look for your hardware and let the metallic essence be the focal point. If your hardware is the center of the appliance, such as a sink or bathtub, cool hammered fixtures can add another layer of detail without overdoing it.
Dark Elements
Whether it’s a matte black sink, sparkling grey granite, or emerald green cabinets, dark elements are the way modern kitchens are evolving.
We see this most prominently in hardware, especially kitchen sinks and faucets. While dark features can be too harsh for many people, keeping it simple with matte black faucets and sinks can be an easy adjustment. And, even easier when you realize that they don’t stain and are super simple to clean!
Check out some of our favorite and trendiest kitchen faucets for 2021 here. With everything from the Matte Black OWOFAN to the sleek and minimalist Psister LG534-LPMS Arkitek there’s a dark sink style for every kitchen.
