If you’ve been following along for a while, you know I love the small details that make a big impact. When it comes to a room refresh, nothing carries quite as much weight as your cabinet hardware. I always tell my clients that hardware is the jewelry of the home—it’s that final, polished touch that can make a standard kitchen or bathroom feel next level.
I am so thrilled to share that my latest feature for Urban Living Magazine is officially live! In this guide, I’m deep-diving into the three styles—Modern, Traditional, and Industrial—to help you find the hardware that matches your home’s personality.
A “Bonus” Tip for My Readers
I wanted to share one extra “pro” tip here that didn’t make it into the magazine article. If you are struggling with mixing finishes (like having a black faucet but wanting brass handles), my rule of thumb is to keep the undertones the same. If your faucet is a “cool” polished chrome, pair it with other cool tones like matte black or polished nickel. It makes the “mix” feel intentional and designer-led rather than accidental!
My Top Picks from the Guide
To give you a head start on your refresh, here are two of the specific pieces I highlighted in the roundup. Each one is beautiful and can really uplift your space.
The Sumner Street Minted Knob is my top recommendation for traditional spaces. The coin-edge detailing adds a sophisticated, architectural texture that mimics vintage jewelry. It’s made from solid plated zinc, it has that heavy, high-end feel you want when you open a drawer.
The Ashley Norton Round Drop Ring is an absolute showstopper. Using these on bathroom vanities or kitchen islands gives the cabinetry a “curated furniture” feel.
