Hardware: Make It or Break It

HARDWARE:  Make It or Break It

Whether its on the kitchen cabinets, the bathroom vanity, the front door, or just a piece of furniture, if the hardware doesn’t look good, the design doesn’t look good.

These are a few of my favorites!

First off, if you haven’t heard – brass is back, baby.

And it works with just about anything…

Brass is so pretty with gray. And can we talk about the design of that hardware for a minute – it may be simple, but boy does it pack a punch.

Look how gorgeous it is with this pale green color.  Mmm.

Can you tell I LOVE brass?

If you aren’t a brass fan, don’t worry. There are still plenty of other options available.

If you love the mid-century modern look, opt for adding a glass or lucite into your hardware. Both pair beautifully with brass or chrome.

Short on budget, but need character on your cabinets? Make your own leather pulls.

Hardware can easily turn the plain jane cabinetry into high end cabinetry…

This brass handle adorns a basic white IKEA closet system and it totally transforms this piece.

What pops out to you in the photo above? No doubt – the hardware.  It becomes plain cabinetry – there aren’t any decorative moldings or details – just plain wood fronts, but that hardware is devine.

Don’t forget about the furniture!

Adding casters to furniture can easily take a piece to a whole new level.

Just because brass is back, doesn’t mean that chrome is gone. Its still a classic, alive and well. This chrome doorknob is a showstopper.

Take a look at the hardware on the glass doors in the photo above. Cremone bolts runs the entire length of the door and add a very traditional touch to the space.

Instead of doing a standard brass plate on push doors, why not do some be-dazzling?
