Brass Cabinet Knobs – Creating a Fresh Look

Brass is one of those wonderful and versatile materials that offer not only resistance and durability over time, but also a wide variety of designs (from simple to ornate). By introducing brass cabinet knobs to your kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms and furniture, you can create a common theme throughout your home and continue that theme in other areas as well. Brass can be cast (via a variety of different methods) to reproduce intricate patterns on antique pieces or in new, modern designs for your home.

Solid brass cabinet knobs offer several advantages over other materials, one being the ability to customize the brass finish in a variety of colors to coordinate with your existing hardware. Many people think that brass only comes in a shiny gold tone, but it is also available in Antique Brass, Polished Chrome, Brushed Nickel, and Oil Rubbed Bronze. This selection gives you the opportunity to use the same cabinet knob in different rooms (writing the theme together) without being restricted to just one knob color.

Further coordinate your home by introducing solid brass to your door, window hardware, and even lighting. By using the same pattern (for example, a Georgian rope design) in a variety of areas, you can easily create a consistent theme that is easy to replicate in every room and outside of your home too. Solid brass home hardware possibilities give you the opportunity to redecorate rather than remodel for a whole new look.

Simply replacing old and worn home hardware can make dramatic changes to the overall appearance of any room. Over time, cabinet knobs, pulls, doorknobs, curtain tiebacks, switch plates, and even light fixtures can get scratched or dented with repeated use. This wear and tear (although it is a natural process over time) can change the entire look of a room to make it appear old and worn. New brass cabinet and drawer hardware will bring additional details and new focal points to any space without replacing the largest pieces in your home.
