Satin nickel cabinet hardware, or as it is sometimes called brushed nickel cabinet hardware, is often considered the backbone of cabinet hardware finishes.
Why? Well, satin nickel cabinet knobs and satin nickel pulls have been a staple choice for kitchen cabinets for decades. But it is not just how long they have been around that makes them a popular choice for kitchen cabinets. With its muted silver tones and unobjectionable shine, the satin nickel is the go-to finish for homeowners, builders, and designers alike. But if we were to sum up the satin nickel cabinet hardware finish in one word, it would be versatility.
The word "versatile" is thrown around a lot in the design arena, but never is it more true when it comes to satin nickel cabinet hardware. The unobjectionable, understated, easy on the eyes finish of satin nickel is adaptable to any design.
Sure, words like adaptable, versatile, and understated might not be sexy - and we admit that satin nickel cabinet pulls might not be the newest trendy color, but don't count them out as dull. Satin nickel cabinet hardware is anything but boring!
Even with recent design trends like farmhouse or modern sophistication where black and gold-colored hardware trended, satin nickel still found a home. Over the years, we have found that satin nickel knobs and pulls remain relevant in current design trends, making them one of our most popular finishes.
So as the satin nickel cabinet knobs and cabinet pulls aren't going anywhere anytime soon, we thought these often uncelebrated workhorses of a handle should get their time in the spotlight.
So, if you wonder what cabinet color goes with satin nickel cabinet pulls? Or, what is our most popular cabinet hardware finish? Look no further; let us spotlight the versatile satin nickel finish for cabinet hardware.
