What I Look for in Brass Cabinet Hardware
Not all brass cabinet hardware is created equal. There are a lot of cheap looking brass finishes that can quickly date your kitchen. This is what I look for when selecting brass cabinet knobs and pulls…
- A vintage or antique brass finish… that will patina over time.
- A nice heavy weight… it should feel substantial in hand.
- A classic shape or form… that won’t go out of style and easily pairs with any aesthetic, as your style evolves.

Styling Tips for Brass Hardware
Brass hardware is perfect for many rooms in your home… not just the kitchen cabinets. I’ve used brass knobs on plenty of projects: nightstands, the bathroom vanity, laundry room cabinets, built-ins, furniture, etc. Antique brass is one of those finishes that pairs well with many materials, colors, and textures. It works great with wood tones, both dark and light paint colors, and is ideal for adding warmth to any vignette.
A nice brass finish and simple silhouette go a long way in dressing up basic cabinets or furniture. No matter what it’s paired with, you can always expect a timeless outcome.

If you’re looking for that elevated designer look without the expensive price tag, Amazon has surprisingly great options. You can find all of my Amazon hardware picks here (including doorknobs). Be sure to check product dimensions carefully and consider ordering a few samples before committing to a full set. I also read reviews with photos… those are helpful for better judging the color and scale.
FAQ
This depends on the hardware and if it’s solid brass. Most brass will patina over time, which adds to the charm and character. If you have a living brass finish, it will patina more quickly. If you prefer a polished look, you’ll need to wipe them occasionally with a soft cloth and cleaner.
