When designing a home, builders and future homeowners may not think the type of cabinet pull chosen for a kitchen matters. Hardware pieces and other small additions to a space are often seen as an afterthought, and their importance can be easily overlooked in a build. But as designers will attest, design details aren’t just an embellishment, they’re the finishing touch that ties together all the elements in the room and completes the design.
It’s important not to neglect the small design details. Here, BUILDER presents new offerings in the hardware category that will complete your design and bring the whole room together.
Pella
The window and door company has expanded its Architect Series line of windows, patio doors, and hardware pieces with a new contemporary design aesthetic. Modern hardware pieces in the Architect Series Contemporary collection enhance the updated window line and match the series’ sharp, geometric shapes. The contemporary line of door handles feature Pella’s SmartKey Re-Key Technology, and come in a number of finishes including matte black. pella.com
Atlas Homewares
Inspired by a modern take on geometric shapes, the Tableau Collection provides homeowners with versatile, interchangeable hardware pieces for cabinets. The collection of round and square bases, and rectangular and arc handles in four finishes—polished nickel, brushed nickel, polished chrome, and French gold—come unassembled for a mix-and-match approach to hardware, allowing homeowners to create their own custom configurations. The handles can also be installed without bases if desired. The pieces range in size from 1 7/16th inch to 3 inches. atlastothetrade.com
Hardware Resources
Hardware Resources’ new Leyton collection of cabinet pulls is a line of streamlined, modern hardware pieces for contemporary kitchens. The collection, designed in collaboration with designer Jeffery Alexander, features sleek, asymmetrical pulls that combine a flat top with curved feet for a unique look. The pulls are available in five finishes—polished chrome, polished nickel, satin nickel, brushed pewter, and brushed oil-rubbed bronze. hardwareresources.com
Marvin Windows and Doors
Keeping on trend with the growing number of dark interior finishes and accents and expanding its Contemporary Studio line, Marvin Windows and Doors introduced matte black hardware for its window and door products. The reflection-free matte finish of this new hardware collection allows the lines and form of each pull, crank, lock, door handle and hinge in the collection to stand out in contrast to other elements of the home for owners looking to make a statement. marvin.com
Belwith-Keeler
Taking inspiration from the organic shapes and movement of natural elements, the Olivet collection puts a modern twist on the fluidity and subtle curvature of objects found in nature such as plants, flower stems, roots, or even animal antlers. The eight designs of Olivet pulls and knobs are available in a number of different lengths and four finishes—polished nickel, polished copper, oil rubbed bronze, and satin nickel. belwith-keeler.com
