Top 11 Kitchen Hardware Trends, Designs & Ideas for 2023
The material and style that you pick for your kitchen hardware is extremely important because it brings your entire space together. You can really change the overall look of your home simply by updating the pulls, knobs, fixtures and faucet.
The search for the perfect combination might seem like an extremely daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be! There are a variety of options available on the market to suit all types of styles.
Here are the top 11 kitchen hardware design trends to watch out for in 2023.
1. Matte Black
Matte black kitchen hardware is a good choice because it is sleek, contemporary, modern and easy to pair with a variety of decors.
Its use has been popular for a few years now and it isn’t expected to fade anytime soon. If you love the bold and sophisticated statement that this finish makes then you may consider incorporating it throughout.
2. Brushed Brass
Brushed Brass hardware is in style for the coming year we are excited to add this warm golden finish with its yellow undertones to their projects.
If you have an all-white aesthetic but want to bring some life and depth to it adding this element will break up the monotony.
If you love somber decor and want to add an element of pop to an otherwise moody aesthetic then it even pairs perfectly with darker tones such as black, navy blue and deep green.
3. Brushed Gold
Brushed gold is a classic and timeless finish for your home and it’s been a decorating staple for centuries.
There is something about the soft pale yellow and the muted undertones of brushed gold that gives off a warm vibe.
Its versatility makes this material an easy choice for many homeowners. You can easily pair it with the old aesthetic of mid-century modern, gothic-victorian and Hollywood glam as well as more contemporary settings such as modern-organic or Japandi.
4. Antique Silver
Shabby chic decor aesthetics such as farmhouse and country cottage have gained huge popularity over the last few years. With this popularity comes the increased use of antique silver throughout.
If you are a lover of all things vintage, rustic and old then you will certainly love this look. Imagine distressed wooden cabinets that almost look worn paired with the streaks and lines of rusted silver knobs and pulls.
5. Polished Chrome
Polished chrome is a popular kitchen hardware choice for homeowners and its popularity will remain for years to come.
Its versatility, neutrality and adaptability make this a perfect choice for interior designers as it’s easy to fit into nearly all types of designs.
Whether your dwelling is luxurious, cozy or industrial this fine piece of silver will add the right amount of bling creating visual interest.
6. Crystals
What better way to add luxury and a high-end vibe than by incorporating crystal handles for in to cabinetry and fixtures? In 2023 we are going all out with the bling.
If you are looking for something more glamorous and crave an extravagant feel then consider adding this style to your interior.

7. Graphite
Dark interiors are seeing a resurgence lately and designers are noticing them being mixed into a variety of decor styles.
Not quite black or grey graphite is a great choice for anyone who wants something dark with a softer undertone.
It has both a bold and calming effect and blends well with all types of light, dark or medium-toned woods.
8. Antique Cooper
Antique copper is a popular choice for hardware and in 2023 we will see it incorporated into more homes. Its patina quality brings beauty, charm and elegance.
Vintage and victorian style decor has seen a surge in interest over the years and metals such as this fit well with these aesthetics.
If you love the rustic charm of the old-world aesthetic then this finish is perfect for you. You might consider incorporating it into your sink or faucets as that has been very trendy lately.
9. Oil Rubbed Bronze
The rich toasted finish of oil-rubbed bronze is on trend and interior designers are loving its versatility in casual and formal settings.
Not only will it add a unique touch but it’s classic and perfect for traditional, transitional and even contemporary spaces.
If you have polished nickel or other cool metals this would be a great way to tone it down and bring balance.
10. Mixed Metals
When it comes to mixing metals some people either hate it while others absolutely love it and for 2023 we are loving it!
You can mix metals and finishes for your kitchen hardware, they don’t all have to match. By combining materials you are able to add texture, and dimension as well as your own personal style and taste.
When done correctly I find the mixing of materials to be rather beautiful as it gives off a carefully curated vibe.
Just remember to keep the cabinetry material the same throughout and incorporate another into your light fixtures and faucets.
A great combination that I can’t get enough of is brush gold and matte black. The look is chic, and contemporary and adds visual appeal to your space.
11. Mixing Knobs and Pulls
Mixing knobs and pulls is in style and is a great way to create the perfect aesthetic you envision.
The recommendation is to use pulls for the upper cabinets and knobs for the lower ones, simply for practicality
So if you feel the need to pick one or the other, take the pressure off and combine them, not only does it make sense but it gives off a cohesive look.
