One of the easiest and most affordable ways to refresh your kitchen design and embrace a new trend without changing your entire space is by switching up the kitchen hardware! Small details like this have the power to completely transform your place and give it an incredible style boost. In this article, we will go over the latest kitchen cabinet hardware trends for 2021 and present you with our favorite ideas.

If you’re considering a budget-friendly remodel, then your best bet is usually to paint your kitchen cabinets and upgrade the hardware. We’ve written extensively on how you can repaint your kitchen cabinets in one of our previous blog posts and now we are continuing our affordable remodel advice by focusing on the hardware.

There are many different types of kitchen hardware that you can use on your cabinets and drawers. When choosing the appropriate hardware you should consider the overall design and look that you’re going with but also take into consideration practicality, since the kitchen is an area where all the action happens. You definitely want your knobs and pulls to be easy to use and clean. Some of our favorite trendy kitchen cabinet handles, knobs, and pulls include Mushroom knobs, Arendal cup pulls, Davenport knobs, glass knobs, etc.

Kitchen Cabinet Hardware Trends for 2021

Our favorite trends for kitchen cabinet hardware are:

  • Minimalist oversized pulls. They are perfect for drawers or vertical cabinets. They can seamlessly fit into both modern or classic kitchen designs.
  • Matte black finish. We love the modern look of matte finishes on kitchen hardware, it creates endless design opportunities.
  • Vintage-inspired hardware. Excellent for classic kitchens and shaker kitchen cabinets, this option adds a rustic charm to any space.
  • Exposed screws for an industrial feel. Our favorite choice for modern and contemporary kitchens.
  • Glass knobs and pulls. Making a fierce comeback, glass hardware is incredibly versatile and can elevate your kitchen design in no time.

Should The Kitchen Faucet Match Cabinet Hardware?

One of the questions we often get is should the kitchen faucet match cabinet hardware? The simple answer is no. Matching your hardware with the faucet is a simple and safe solution that can’t go wrong, but it’s not the only option. Mixing and matching metals and colors in your kitchen can create an eclectic and trendy look. Pairing different hardware choices can often result in a stunning kitchen design. Let your creativity flow and make an unconventional choice, it might be the best decision you make!
