“Homeowners increasingly seek warmth and authenticity in their spaces, leading to the incorporation of materials like wood and stone into handles, knobs, and pulls. These elements provide a tactile contrast to sleek surfaces, adding texture and a sense of craftsmanship.” —Giles Harwood, Designer and Manager at Joseph Giles

“Warm, brushed metals are still going strong, but this year it’s about combining finishes—think brass with a touch of matte black or polished nickel with hints of bronze. Shapes are also getting more architectural and less traditional. I love the angular edges, sculptural pulls, and even some geometric pieces that feel fresh and modern without losing function. It’s all about adding a bit of unexpected flair.” —Linda Hayslett of LH.Designs

Vintage Silhouettes

Chaunte Vaughn

“I am seeing more historical and antique hardware emerge in residential projects. And I find vintage hardware hard to beat in terms of its quality and craftsmanship. There is nothing better than sifting through some old wood panels or cabinet drawers at an antique store and coming across some gorgeous old hardware.” —Nadia Watts of Nadia Watts Interior Design

“I’m also seeing oversized hardware as an option. I suspect that this has much to do with our aging-yet-staying-in-place population. Oversized hardware looks great and is a practical way to make opening a cabinet or drawer a bit easier.” —Nadia Watts of Nadia Watts Interior Design
