Modern style incorporates clean lines and simple forms, so it is easy to use multiple finishes without making your space look like too much of a mishmash.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6266 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/fliptheswitch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/01\/black-and-chrome.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/search?q=hw2&amp;newSearch=n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>HW2 by Seattle Hardware\u00a0<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>A Few Ideas for Inspiration<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li>For a modern-yet-traditional look, try long brass or gold drawer pulls with clean lines. This style is becoming very popular because it is easy to adapt to many different space designs and color palettes.<\/li>\n<li>Get courageous by bringing into the kitchen or bath, hardware that is typically associated with other rooms or furniture. Use curvy, metal dresser pulls, for example, for a few kitchen or bathroom drawers. Though not so much a modern style, some painted porcelain knobs could be added here and there for a colorful, unexpected variation to the usual hardware in these rooms.<\/li>\n<li>Geometric shapes in metal \u2014 such as hexagonal, V-shaped or even square \u2014 can really add a bold, attractive look with clean lines. Try mixing and matching various geometric shapes with the same metallic finish for interest within a unified modern theme.<\/li>\n<li>Black hardware can be very elegant when paired with the right bathroom and kitchen cabinet finishes. One idea is matching black hardware with washed-blue cabinetry and drawers, for a charming boho look. Natural wood finishes also really pop with the addition of black hardware.<\/li>\n<li>How about taking out some of the hardware \u2014 particularly suited to drawers, by the way \u2014 and add cut-out pulls instead? This makes for a minimalist-modern, inventive look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Our Favorites<\/h2>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/products\/all-hardware?MfrID=SeattleHardwareCo#productList\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">From Seattle Hardware<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"one_third \" style=\"\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/search?q=hw2&amp;newSearch=n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-3099 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/fliptheswitch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/01\/img_1140_1024.jpg\" alt=\"HW2 by Seattle Hardware\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"one_third \" style=\"\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/search?q=knob+seattle+hardware&amp;newSearch=n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3101\" src=\"https:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/fliptheswitch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/01\/img_0615_1024.jpg\" alt=\"Knobs by Seattle Hardware\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"one_third last \" style=\"\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/search?q=HW3&amp;newSearch=n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3102\" src=\"https:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/fliptheswitch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/01\/img_0651_1024.jpg\" alt=\"HW3 by Seattle Hardware\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><br class=\"clear\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7427 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/fliptheswitch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/bath_hardware.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6272 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/fliptheswitch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/01\/bathroom-hardware.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6273 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/fliptheswitch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/01\/kitchen-hardware.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/search?q=hw1&amp;newSearch=n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HW1<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/search?q=hw2&amp;newSearch=n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HW2<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/search?q=hw3&amp;newSearch=n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HW3<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/brand\/seattle-hardware-co\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Seattle Hardware<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Other Considerations<\/h2>\n<p>Switching out your existing hardware can take a little additional work if you are changing the length of your cabinet pull.
