Simply put, Brass Cabinet Handles are small lever or round object attached to a door that is used to either close or opens the door. Brass door handles can be made using varied materials such as; porcelain, wood, bronze, plastic, chrome, and cut glass, but my all-time favorite is brass.

The thing is – these are the thing that makes such an impact when upgraded. Yet,  people often overlook these everyday utilitarian pieces of hardware.  Home is in the details.  this is one of my easy upgrades that can make a big on a home’s design

Door handles come in various shapes, styles, and finishes. But don’t get overwhelmed when the time comes to pick some for your own home. What matters the most is your personal taste. You can be creative here. It makes a difference and whichever material you choose, should elevate and complement the design aesthetic you are looking to achieve.

The Finish

Some of the most popular finishes are:

There are numerous types of metal plating finishes available today – far too many to list. There are flat finishes such as mat with black being a current favorite. 

Recently two really popular finishes are Brushed Nickel and Graphite Nickel (also known as Gunmetal). Brushed Nickel is a softer tone than satin nickel and interfaces very nicely with stainless steel. Graphite Nickel is a gunmetal-like appearance and is an architectural favorite
