Kitchen remodeling is one of the most exciting projects homeowners can do this winter to help them stay at home and finishing all the projects they have been meaning to get to over the last few years. When shopping for new kitchen fixtures such as faucets, knobs, handles, and lighting, one thing you will notice is the many finishes that are available. Most homeowners choose to match the finishes on the various kitchen fixtures to have a cohesive design.
Popular Kitchen Finishes
There are many different finishes available, but kitchen remodeling contractors tend to see the same top 5 popping up in all their projects.
Brass- Fixtures like faucets and drawer pulls that use brass finishes look spectacular against white or black and can add warmth and elegance to your aesthetic. Matte brass is very versatile and is one of the most durable finishes as well.
Bronze- Oil-rubbed bronze is expensive, but also one of the most luxurious finishes for kitchen remodeling. Bronze is very elegant, high-quality, and durable. Bronze is perfect for a more subtle look that is not shiny like brass.
Chrome- If you are looking for a classic and traditional look that is also affordable, chrome is the way to go. Chrome is perfect for a minimalist design and is easy to clean and maintain.
Nickel- A step up from chrome, nickel offers many different finish colors and is less industrial than the other metal finishes. Nickel is versatile and goes well with any kitchen design style. Nickel does tarnish however and will need some maintenance over time.
Stainless Steel- When shopping for new kitchen appliances, stainless steel will be one of the most popular styles you see. The material is antimicrobial, super easy to clean, and very sturdy which are all great for families.
Although these top five finishes are most popular, there are a few other trends that are up and coming such as matte black and using multiple metal finishes to create an ombre effect.
