What are the latest trends in Cabinet Knobs?

I hear matte black, rose gold and marble combo and mixed metals are the latest for knobs and pulls but what do you all think?

No thanks to the rose gold, or anything brassy. I've lived through the 80's. Maybe the younger generation, who haven't experienced the brass trend back then, are more open to it. I don't like the look of matte black either.

Good to know! Would you go with mixed metals in that case?

For me it’s maximalism. Lovely in a quirky cafe or boutique hotel but at home it would give me a headache. I like a restful house and so yes quite a lot of it is grey! Not battleship grey or anthracite but bluey or greeny greys. Concrete floors. Depressing, cold, ecologically not great, look unfinished. Plants very high up. How do you water them? Walk in wardrobes even if it means the bedroom becomes tiny. I’d rather have a bigger bedroom with wardrobes in it, than dress and sleep in tiny spaces. Uber industrial. There’s a reason we usually hide cables, conduits, vent ducts...because they are ugly. Buying new furniture and accessories very often to have an “up to date“ look. I see all these instagram pictures with everything brass, mid century, wood, rattan, green (today’s trends) and I wonder what has happened to all their grey, painted, silver, shabby chic items from 5/10 years ago. And what will they do with today’s items when the look swings round again...

If you want to paint, paint. I think I'd agree with the people who suggest professional re spraying though unless you love diy and love the idea of being able to change the colour yourself relatively quickly. I recently painted a dresser (heavily stained and varnished wood, nowhere near as nice as yours) and a chest of drawers (bog standard orange pine) and unless you can take the wood right back it takes coats and COATS and a lot of patience to get a good finish. It is worth it though! Personally, I'd go for a greyish blue on the bottom half, White worktops, and paint the uppers the same white as the tiles (there's nothing intrinsically wrong with them, a classic choice that won't date). Put in a steel splashback behind the cooker (it should be possible to fit over tiles) to tone with your handles and a hard wearing natural fibre rug on the floor to break up the dark grey. A few wood accessories and the usual bits and pieces to finish.

I design a lot of kitchens and believe me gloss is still as popular as the classic shaker style. What we are seeing a lot of people go for at the minute are flat matt colours in modern handless shapes. When it comes to kitchens I wouldn't worry about trends too much and think of it as an investment piece and buy what you like. You can then add on trend lead pieces such as lights, accessories and the like as these are more affordable to change as and when the inclination takes you.

Nice one Forzaitalia! My best charity shop find is the 4ft wide/7ft tall carved oak display cabinet in the library. We think it may be 1930's and american. However, for £150 I am not that fussed about the provenance! I mentioned it in my library thread along with the other bits in that room which are mostly charity shop/ ebay/ gumtree finds alongside a genuine antique green velvet chaise, a ceiling light my sister gave me when she redecorated and a lovely new Jenny Worrall table lamp. The best thing I have gained from all the lovely Houzz contributors is that how your room is designed has to work for you. I know the mix of stuff in that room would drive some folks crazy and they would hate the 'old-fashioned' style in there. However, it works for us and we love it.

The material of the pull really depends on the cabinetry style and color. We have, however, seen a major interest in 'bar' pulls like these. No more knobs!

Maybe to mixed metals. But not my first choice.

We went with a bar style- Brushed Nickel, but made sure that the was no overhang on it, so nothing could get "caught" on them.
