The decorative hardware landscape is ever-evolving, and our team at Modern Hardware is thrilled about the 2025 trends shaping the new year. From finishes to functionality, here are the expert favorites that are sure to inspire your next project.
1. Warm Metallic Finishes: Brushed Gold & Champagne Bronze
Consultant Jenn's Take:
Warm metallic finishes like brushed gold, champagne bronze, and brushed golden brass are taking center stage in 2025. These tones pair beautifully with warm wood cabinetry, adding elegance and depth to both kitchens and bathrooms.
Jenn particularly admires Belwith Keeler’s Brushed Golden Brass finish, which brings a timeless appeal to any space.
2. Mixing Finishes and Textures
Consultant Jenn's Take:
Combining finishes and textures allows homeowners to create unique, contemporary designs that feel fresh and custom. Options like Emtek Select or the Vita Bella and Alta Moda collections from Creations by Alno offer versatility and beauty for a personalized touch.
For pre-configured options, Jenn recommends Schaub's Foncé and Quadrato lines, which blend finishes seamlessly for a bold yet cohesive look.
3. Artisan-Crafted Designs with Texture
Consultant Kaitlyn's Take:
As contemporary styles rise, artisan-crafted hardware with tactile textures and organic shapes is gaining popularity. These designs add a layer of depth and character that can make even the most modern interiors feel warm and inviting.
Kaitlyn also highlights the impact of bold, chunky hardware on cabinets. Oversized pulls in unique shapes or textures immediately draw attention and serve as striking focal points in any room.
4. Oversized Hardware for Style and Functionality
Consultant Elizabeth's Take:
Oversized hardware is becoming a favorite for its contemporary aesthetic and practical benefits. Long drawer pulls and large knobs not only elevate a space but also make it more accessible—especially for those aging in place.
Polished Chrome is making a subtle comeback, though Elizabeth prefers Polished Nickel for its warmer tone and resistance to fingerprints.
5. Brushed Nickel and Pocket Doors
Consultant Kristen's Take:
While black and satin brass have been dominating for years, Kristen is excited about a potential resurgence of brushed nickel for door hardware. Its understated elegance and versatility make it a classic choice.
Kristen is also ready to move on from barn door tracks, advocating for pocket doors instead. Pocket doors are practical, space-saving, and allow for cleaner lines in modern interiors.
She is also eagerly awaiting new collections from Creations by Alno and Top Knobs to see what’s in store for 2025.
