A new year brings a new direction to interior design and hardware trends. It opens the doors to exciting new trends that might be part of one of your home renovation projects. Today, we are looking at hardware trends that we expect to see blossom this year.
We believe that some of last year’s trends will still be part of homes all across the country or at least be incorporated into this year’s hardware trends. However, other trends, which were overused, will start to look dated (and should be left behind).
Whether you have moved into a new house recently, want to renovate your childhood home or are planning on moving into a new apartment, it’s essential to give hardware some attention. If you haven’t updated your kitchen hardware, door ironmongery, or any other architectural hardware in your home for years – it’s time to do it.

Elegant and sophisticated brass finishes.
Brass finishes will take over. No more all-matte black hardware finishes. We believe we will see brass finishes shine through and be the must-have statement finish of the year. Satin brass, polished brass, satin PVD brass – these stunning warm finishes will give a touch of elegance, luxury and sophistication to any property.
At Ironmongery Experts, we stock a wide selection of brass ironmongery, including brass bathroom locks, brass robe hooks, brass door handles, brass doorstops and much more. With our vast ironmongery range, you will be able to add brass finishes all around your home. Some of our brass hardware includes:

Forget about safe colours, go bold instead.
As Mandy Cheng, interior designer, mentioned in Architectural Digest, “Bold colors, layers, patterns, and sumptuous textiles are fighting the previously popular white and bright color palettes, and I love it. I’m ready for the light and bright trends to take a seat on the sidelines for a while.”
It's time to ditch monochromatic interiors and safe colour palettes and finishes for bold colours, layers, patterns and finishes. Go one step further and mix and match hardware finishes.
