Satin nickel and brushed nickel finishes
Shoppers often use the terms satin nickel and brushed nickel when looking for a soft, non-polished
nickel appearance. However, the exact color, brushing, and sheen can
vary between manufacturers. When matching existing faucets, lighting,
or appliances, compare the listed finish and consider ordering a sample
before purchasing a full project quantity.
Replacing existing cabinet pulls?
Measure from the center of one mounting hole to the center of the other.
This is the pull’s center-to-center or hole-spacing measurement. See our
cabinet hardware measuring guide
before ordering replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does satin nickel cabinet hardware look like?
Satin nickel generally has a soft silver-gray color with a low-luster,
lightly brushed appearance. It is less reflective than polished chrome
and coordinates well with many stainless steel appliances.
Are satin nickel and brushed nickel the same?
The terms are sometimes used similarly by shoppers, but they are not
guaranteed to be exact matches. Color, sheen, and visible brushing can
vary by manufacturer and product line.
Does satin nickel show fingerprints?
Satin nickel generally disguises fingerprints and light smudges better
than highly polished finishes. Clean it with a soft cloth and avoid
abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
What size cabinet pull should I choose?
When replacing existing pulls, match the current center-to-center hole
spacing. For new cabinets, choose a pull that looks proportional to the
cabinet door or drawer. See our
drawer-pull sizing guide
and
cabinet-door pull guide.
Do all cabinet pulls need to be the same size?
No. Many kitchens use shorter pulls on standard cabinet doors and
drawers, with longer coordinating pulls on wide drawers, pantry doors,
or tall cabinets.
Can I mix satin nickel knobs and pulls?
Yes. A common layout uses knobs on cabinet doors and pulls on drawers.
You can also use pulls throughout the room for a more streamlined look.
What cabinet colors work with satin nickel?
Satin nickel works especially well with white, gray, greige, navy,
black, and natural wood cabinets. Its neutral metallic appearance makes
it one of the easiest finishes to coordinate.
