Wooden Knobs
Chaunte Vaughn
“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

Black Stainless
Seth Smoot
“I’m seeing less Matte Black and more Black Stainless. I think people are getting sick of seeing the matte black coating come off, but still want a less feminine hardware choice. Black stainless seems to be the way to go.”—Laura Williams of ATX Interior Design

Mixing Metals
Sam Frost
“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

Rounded Shapes
Brie Williams
“I love the many rounded-edge options now available. No longer is kitchen hardware square or rectangular in shape with sharp edges. A softer direction with circles, ovals, and even rounded edges on cabinet pulls are now readily available.” —Nadia Watts of Nadia Watts Interior Design

Whether it’s elongated handles or oversized knobs, these pieces are meant to stand out rather than blend in.” —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

Elongated Pieces
Nate Sheets
“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
