I have dark cherry kitchen cabinets. What color knobs are in style now. I have bright satin nickel knobs now.

Do you think a dark bronze would look good with the dark cabinets or do you think I need a lighter colored knob? THANKS!

  1. i think that choice would look good
  2. I think the brushed nickel looks the best with dark cherry.
  3. As a custom carpenter, I see many styles of cabinet hardware and cabinet colors. The most popular are satin nickel and oil rubbed bronze. Oil rubbed copper and brass are common but not as popular. If the cabinets are not as dark as the oil rubbed bronze you could go with that as you want a little contrast. You should buy a few of each of the colors you would like to have and install them, leave them there for a week or so and see what you like. Good Luck.
  4. A nice copper or pewter will look really nice.
  5. Brushed nickle looks wonderful, but antiqued bronze is what's coming into style (even in appliances). If you have stainless appliances...stick with brushed nickle.
  6. I'm a kitchen designer and we sell quite a bit of both finishes. I have noticed that the oil rubbed bronze can show scratches easier. The satin nickel would give you more contrast. Buy one of the ORB finish and see what you think. Good luck!
