Timeless Door Hardware: Polished Brass, Chrome, and Black Finishes

Polished brass door hardware is a timeless addition to any home. It can add a touch of luxury and elegance and is a classic finish that can blend with any interior style, from modern to traditional. However, chrome and black finishes are becoming increasingly popular, as evidenced by Amazon's best-selling products in terms of door levers. Tara Carney Bloom, from The Carneys Bloom, exhibits bright brass door knobs in her renovation of a historic home.

Gold is perfect for restoring old homes because it is much more authentic than modern chrome. Over the centuries, it has been one of the most popular metal options for door hardware, making it ideal for adding a vintage touch to your home no matter how old it is. You can choose paint and furniture colors that match your personal style and, at the same time, use some traditional accents. As this beautiful publication by Tara shows, the gold hardware goes particularly well with other historical details, such as antique frames.

This is a great way to emphasize the classic nature of gold and keep it from looking too modern. For an easy way to create an eye-catching look throughout your home, replace the door hardware with black knobs. This small change creates cohesion throughout the house with subtle sophistication. Improving worn-out cabinets with new accessories is one of the oldest tricks known to decorators, and for good reason. Updating your bathroom furniture accessories with matte black hardware is a simple and beautiful way to improve your bathroom cabinets. With clean lines and simple silhouettes, the hardware is well suited to both farmhouse styles and industrial home decor.
