Decorative cabinet hardware, such as drawer pulls and handles, are an important part of the finishing touches in today’s kitchen design. Homeowners look to these elements to provide a striking compliment to the overall look of the space. In the area of functional cabinet hardware, the trend is toward integrated designs, such as soft close and touch open/close systems, as well as other products focused on Universal Design.
Here are some of the latest trends in cabinet hardware:
- Homeowners are favoring traditional and soft contemporary designs that offer clean lines and blend seamlessly into the décor.
- Popular finishes are stainless and brushed metal options, with darker and antique finishes gaining ground. Eye-catching textures are also desirable these days, adding unexpected interest to the overall design
- Custom shapes, finishes, textures and hand-detailed designs are still turning up in upscale kitchen remodeling projects.
- Trends in functional hardware find homeowners leaning toward full-extension drawers and self-closing mechanisms.
- Universal design, or aging-in-place design, is continuing to grow in popularity. Functional hardware supporting this methodology includes more integrated soft-close and open-touch systems, as well as glass doors in upper cabinetry.
