Styling Black Hardware Finishes with Croft

A continuation of style is crucial for retaining cohesion throughout the home. To create a truly harmonious scheme, opt for hardware in the same finish across cabinetry and doors. Black finishes are becoming increasingly popular in contemporary homes thanks to their sleek, sophisticated look that beautifully completes minimalist and maximalist interiors alike.

Croft’s range of black hardware offers the perfect solution for rooms in most colour palettes, adding finishing touches that instantly elevate and transform a property.

To create an elegant, streamlined aesthetic, finishes such as Zero Black or Matte Black Bronze are timeless and classic, with their matt, single colour look being proudly bold without detracting from the overall design of a room. The smooth finishes have no reflective qualities, meaning the hardware stands alone as a unique piece of the interior style. This finish is right at home on smooth, sleek hardware, or those with subtle tactile texture like linear detailing to add visual interest.

These finishes look right at home in truly luxurious modern properties with focus on contrasting textures and lighting. Pair with gold décor and a monochrome palette to ensure each detail works in perfect synergy, creating a truly enduring scheme.

For a traditional spin on a contemporary interior, consider incorporating aged black hardware in finishes like Imitation Bronze Unlacquered or Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze. These distressed, two-tone finishes are hand produced, giving each piece a truly unique patina that boasts a depth of tones. When used on tactile hardware like reeded knobs or textured levers, the result will radiate personality.

They work particularly well in contemporary homes that have an industrial chic or fusion blend, combining the timeless allure of traditional elements with the simplicity and sophistication of contemporary design. Injecting a home with character, this hardware finish attracts the eye and sparks conversation. Pair with plenty of tactile textures and a blend of greys and deep neutrals to complete the look.

Proudly British, family-run architectural hardware manufacturer Croft offers a diverse portfolio of over 25 different finishes and patinas.
