weekly design inspiration: hardware harmony

When it comes to design, the devil truly is in the details. While paint colours, furniture choices, and lighting fixtures often steal the spotlight, hardware quietly works behind the scenes, tying a room together and adding that final layer of polish.

Think of hardware as the jewelry of your home. Just as a statement necklace can elevate an outfit, the right knob or pull can transform cabinetry or furniture from ordinary to extraordinary. These small details offer a unique opportunity to infuse personality, style, and even a touch of luxury into your space.

The material and finish of your hardware can significantly impact the overall look and feel of a room. In the past, design rules often dictated that all hardware and fixtures in a space should match. However, today’s interiors embrace a more eclectic and layered approach, where mixing metals is becoming a go-to strategy for adding depth and sophistication.

The shape and style of your hardware should complement the overall design of your space. If your style leans more traditional, opt for classic round knobs and for a sleek and modern look, consider a streamlined linear pull.
