Matching Hardware - Cabinets White on top/Charcoal Grey below

8 years ago

I'm having a hard time selecting cabinet and drawer handles/pulls for our newly redesigned kitchen. With white cabinets on top and dark on the lower cabinets, I'm not sure I'm correctly matching both. Tried oil rubbed bronze and brushed nickel. Appliances are black but the dark handles seem so dark against the white. Ideas?

    Not sure that will work with faucet and other already selected items, but I really really love that look! Thank you!

    What other finishes do you have? Black appliances, but what faucet and sink?

    Another bathroom... But shows chrome faucet mixed with gold hardware. I personally like mixing metals and think your space naturally lends itself to that since you've got both grey (matches nickel/chrome) and tan (matches gold). Besides, I think the faucet, especially if it's in chrome/nickel, it sort of a non-entity in most spaces.

    You could also consider white or glass knobs.

    You have a lot of different colors happening in that space. I would be very careful about introducing any more. I would be inclined to remove the blue or the tan countertops.

    To me the discordant factor is the lower cabinet color...it doesn’t relate to anything that we can see.....and makes the beige counter top look off color....the fact that it appears to be a matte finish only accentuates the problem....a color that blends with the wall and countertops would work better and allow you to choose a hardware color that you love

    My first reaction was brass. But probably because I just put brass in mine and I think it’s pretty. Otherwise I would do black but you could also get an unfinished wood knob and paint them the same white and just have them blend into the cabinet. Then you could do whatever on the bottom.

    I’m not sure if you want to hear it but you’ve got a few other details to tidy up before finalizing your hardware. There should not be a counter backsplash if there is a wall backsplash, it is redundant and mismatched. Secondly, having your wall plugs match the tile will make them less noticeable. It’s these small details that make all of the other features that you’ve worked so hard to change come together with clean lines.

    I hate to say this but you've got a whole bunch of things in this kitchen that do NOT go together. Two different colors of cabinets, a countertop that doesn't work well with either color, and then those black appliances that don't work with anything. I'd buy inexpensive chrome pulls and be done.

    I'm sorry but I have to agree with others...a lot going on and that 6" countertop backsplash extension combined with the tile isn't helping. If you can swing it, I would try to remove and redo the backsplash. Also, perhaps exchange the fridge for a counter depth version?

    I think matte black pulls will help pull all your finishes together. Kimberly’s 2nd to last image I believe? Something thin and not too chunky. It will make the appliances make sense. And Kohler makes an inexpensive matte black faucet if you are concerned about tying that finish in. Post after shots because I think the naysayers will be yaysayers. Good luck!

    Kinda changed my mind a little. I love a little bling and luxury I a kitchen and I might consider a stone knob and coordinating pulls. Beautiful white/cream marble? Maybe the same shape as the back plash tile? Geode knobs? The room is looking so elegant and polished but something a bit different and fun could be nice, too.

    Beautiful kitchen! Gold or satin nickel would go really well. Take a look at some of our items and let us know if we can assist you with anything:
