Satin nickel and oil rubbed bronze are probably the most "common". Solid, Polished Brass is still very popular on the higher end. That's my pick. Check out Baldwin Hardware they've got all of their finishes listed with pictures.

Sometimes it depends on the room. We see a lot of contemporary bathrooms using Bright Chrome or Polished Nickel with Crystal knobs. Also, it might depend on the door color. Oil-Rubbed Bronze hardware is a nice contrast on a white door - but not very contemporary.

Thanks! Doors will be white.

Hi Terry: satin stainless steel, polished stainless steel, or even a combo of both might look nice. We see levers trending much more than knobs nowadays, especially if you are going to lean more toward the contemporary design and definitely for the modern design. Good luck!!!

#Stainless Steel levers

When our clients ask us this questions, we normally say brushed nickel, or stainless steel.
