The Best and Most Popular in Brass Home Hardware



Brass is a very popular finish when it comes to cabinet pulls, cabinet knobs, backplates and hinges. This is because it's a very versatile finish, which means it will look good in almost any home with any style. It can come in a beautiful golden color that gives a feeling of decadence, or be made to look like it's one hundred years old.

If you're searching for the perfect finish and style for your home, check out these popular options for brass home hardware. Just a warning: you'll see so many great versatile brass finishes, that you still might have a very hard time deciding! Don't worry, I'll try to help you narrow down your decision with some style suggestions.

Weathered Brass


The “shabby chic” trend and style is keeping the weathered brass finish a hot look in home hardware. It can come in all different degrees of weathered, and one brand's version of weathered brass can vary greatly to another brand's weathered brass. You have a lot of style options, as well. You can go full country-cottage with a very roughed up weathered brass that looks as if it really has seen a century of wear. There's also the lightly weathered, and everything in between.

Antique Brass


Antique brass finish looks different from weathered brass, in the way that it still looks polished but has some dark tarnishing around the edges and in patches. It creates a beautiful duo-toned look of warm goldish and brown colors that contrast nicely, and look genuinely antique and fancy. The look gives an old Victorian manor feel, and goes beautifully with other antiques and antique-looking home décor.

Polished Brass


Want some shiny, pristine and bright gold-colored home hardware? Do you want your home to look like it's dripping with gold like a palace? Polished brass is not for the faint of heart when it comes to use in your kitchen or bathroom cabinet pulls, hinges and backplates. It will catch the eye, but catching ones eye with cabinet hardware is unexpected. Unexpected can be very interesting and a very good thing.

Burnished Brass



Burnishing is traditionally a polishing technique with a heating tool, which not only polishes but hardens the surface and gives it a darker look. Burnished brass finishes aren't always burned when it comes to home hardware, but they are just made to mimic the look of old fashioned burnished brass. This is a very traditional look that is also very versatile, it all depends on the shape and style of the hardware pieces themselves to determine where you put them.
