These Are the Top Kitchen Hardware Trends for 2025, According to Experts
Wooden Knobs
“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
“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
“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
“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
Striking Statements
“For 2025, it’s all about statement hardware that doubles as jewelry for the kitchen. I’m seeing hardware become a real focal point, with intricate designs, unique textures, and mixed materials. Whether it’s elongated handles or oversized knobs, these pieces are meant to stand out rather than blend in.” —Linda Hayslett of LH.Designs
Bring On Color
“My favorite thing about design is taking something functional and enhancing it to be beautiful. By playing with scale and varied hardware or colored knobs and bezels, you can create something more unique, artful, and personalized. ” —Jeff Andrews of Jeff Andrews Design
Vintage Silhouettes
“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
“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
