About rustic hardware
Whether you are enhancing the rustic look of a cabinet, or trying to
create a more rustic feel to your home, hardware can help accomplish
that goal.
Rustic hardware can add character and versatility to your
cabinets, giving them a charm not seen since the old days. With
thousands of options to choose from, it will be easy to give your
cabinet any desired effect.
When selecting rustic hardware, many choose to opt for the Santa Fe
look. This look combines everything from bulky strap hinges, brackets,
and pulls. Rustic hardware is generally made of bronze or brass, but can
also be found in wrought iron or pewter. If you choose another material,
a rustic look can also be obtained by deciding upon a dark matte finish.
Rustic hardware also works well in accordance with a French provincial
style. The dark colors of the hardware itself are set off nicely by
light colored cabinetry in either white or ivory. To obtain this look,
combine hinges with ornamental strapping for a whimsical touch.
Decorative handles will only serve to add to the effect.
Rustic hardware tends to be larger than most hardware pieces. Rustic
cabinetry also may have large decorative nails with stylized heads
adding to the antique look and feel. When going for a rustic look, it is
important to remember that hinges should be visible and equally as
decorative as the handle itself.
Oftentimes, rustic hardware has a
handcrafted look, giving it a nostalgic quality that is sure to please.
