Matte black and brushed brass bar pulls are currently the most requested cabinet hardware among Louisville homeowners, offering a clean, modern look that pairs well with the warm neutral cabinet colors trending right now. Simple bar-style pulls have largely replaced more ornate or heavily detailed hardware styles.

Matte black hardware has held strong popularity for several years across Louisville kitchens in neighborhoods like the Highlands and Crescent Hill, offering sharp contrast against white and greige cabinets without feeling as stark as chrome or stainless finishes. Its clean lines fit both modern and transitional kitchen styles.
Brushed brass has grown steadily as an alternative, bringing warmth that pairs naturally with the wood tones and warm neutrals currently popular throughout Southern Indiana and Central Kentucky kitchens. Unlike shinier polished brass from decades past, brushed brass has a softer, more subdued finish that feels current rather than dated.
Simple bar pulls in a slim profile remain the most requested shape, replacing the more ornate cup pulls and heavily detailed knobs that were common in earlier design eras. This streamlined hardware style complements the clean cabinet doors popular in most new kitchens today. View our kitchen cabinet options at Express Cabinet Store.
What Most People Get Wrong
Homeowners sometimes choose hardware that matches a trend photo exactly without considering their own cabinet color and kitchen lighting, which can make a hardware finish read differently than expected once installed.
