It’s been almost a year since we moved into our home. We’ve made a lot of changes and started/ finished plenty of projects. Our backyard being the BIGGEST! When I designed the kitchen with our builder I knew what the priorities would be.
Black Kitchen Hardware
The cabinets, configuration and appliances. Everything else would be upgraded over time. Recently we made another upgrade to the kitchen with hardware. Our cabinets came with a very basic knob and I knew I wanted eventually change them out and give them a black hardware update!
Kitchen hardware is actually a pretty hard decision to make. There are SO many options out there. For my kitchen I knew I wanted it to have a slight rustic feel to it but still feel some what traditional and bright.
To help me make a decision with hardware I decided to make some mock ups of hardware in different finishes. Do you guys remember seeing this on my stories a few weeks ago? So many of you thought it was such a great idea.
I simply taped black paper up to the cabinets and stepped back to imagined how it would look. You can do this for any color you are thinking about. You can even get paper that mimics polished nickel and gold at your local craft store!
With help from that little experiment, I ended up using two different finishes in the main area. Bronze/Black and Polished Nickel both from the Farmhouse line at Home depot.
Disclaimer: My home decor style is not farmhouse haha, but I do LOVE some of the influences of farm decor. Like woods, mixed with blacks and whites. I honestly think you can will see that look in many decor styles. But for my kitchen I felt like it fit just perfectly.
The polished nickel from the Liberty Farmhouse line is truly stunning and the black/copper combo adds the contrast that I was craving.

Here are some before and after shots!
Most of the knobs were a simple switch. I just removed the old knob and put a new one on! Easy right? No need to drill.
For others ones like my drawers I wasn’t able to use the same hole so I had to fill one hole and drill two new holes.
To help with measurements I used a cabinet hole template so I could get the perfect fit. Seriously I’m not sure HOW you could do it without this little handy tool! If your knobs are longer like the 6 5/16 ones from the Farmhouse line, make sure you get a template that is large enough to fit. For example, the handle that I have below is about 7 inches wide. I would definitely use this for that knob!
It’s amazing what a difference hardware can make! I actually have 3 different finishes in my kitchen. Brass lighting, black knobs and nickel faucet fixtures. Something I wouldn’t recommend normally but I think it works in this space because it keeps the space interesting but still remains cohesive!
Here’s a shot of the polished nickel knobs and pulls from the Martha Stewart Farmhouse Line. You can see that this area is slightly off the kitchen so it works well to tie in the in other nickel accents in the main area.
I even added a little brass/ bronze to my butlers pantry cabinets!
Love how it turned out! Are you thinking about switching up your knobs? Home Depot definitely has a large selection to choose from! But before you purchase try using my mock hardware tip!! Shop all the knobs below. Plus my backsplash too.
If you’re looking for information about our backsplash I have the links below! We choose the ivory color. We have taupe in our laundry room in a herringbone pattern and plan on using the while color too. We love it so much!
BEAUTIFUL! Can you provide the source for your kitchen backsplash?
Hi! Your kitchen is beautiful!
Did you have to repaint the entire cabinet for the drawers you had to redo the holes on ? Or did you spot paint ??
Thank you! No, I didnt repaint. I just used the touch up kit the cabinets came with :0)
Beautifully done! Love the back splash as well! Can I ask where you got that? We’re in the process of getting our kitchen made over! Thx!
I love your back splash as I want a taupe type subway tile but not a glass tile. Your back splash doesn’t look like glass. It’s shaded and gorgeous and compliments the cabinetry beautifully!!
I would like to find our information about the back splash.
Can you please share details about your backsplash? Is it from Home Depot? Can you please share color name and any details to help me find it? Your kitchen is beautiful!
What colour grout did you use for the backsplash, is the Tile london fog by Olimipa tile? thank you
I am also interested in backslash information-
Any info on the backsplash tiles? They’re gorgeous, and we’re looking for something just like them!
Love the kitchen. Very similar to my vision. I recently did a kitchen remodel but still a project to do is the backsplash. I like yours. Can you share information of color and brand? Thanks
Hi and thank you. Here is the link to our backsplash. THe color is ivory! https://rstyle.me/+VtEbxSuuJOG9qSVk2JWB3A
Please provide info on your backsplash! It’s a beautiful kitchen.
What a beautiful kitchen! Thanks for the tip of the mock hardware. Brilliant idea!
Your kitchen is beautiful. I’ve made a note of the backsplash info, but could you please give me some info on that floor. I’m downsizing and doing a whole house reno and LOVE that floor! Any info would be appreciated!
Hi!
THose floors are from Floor and Decor called Tru Wood Cream! They are fabulous!
In one of the pictures it looks like it has some kind of clear over it. It looks shiny. Can you tell me what you used on the back splash please
Thanks Tiffani
Hi! Just might be a reflection from the camera. No finish over the backsplash at all! But wipes super clean and easy.
Hi there,
LOVING the vibe of your kitchen. I came looking for inspiration for black knobs/pulls, but fell in love with your backsplash and flooring. Just a couple questions for you if you don’t mind…
1) How do you find the backsplash as far as cleaning and staining goes?
2) What colour/kind of grout did you use for the backsplash?
3) It is difficult to tell from the photos – are your cabinets a true “bright white” or are they off white?
Thanks for your time!!
Hi!! Thank you so much!
Backsplash is super easy to clean. No issues at all.
Not sure about the grout color. I almost always try to match the lightest color I see though.
Cabinets are a bright white.
Can I ask what color grout you used in the backsplash and do you know what paint color is on your walls? Thank you! I love your kitchen!
Thanks so much for sharing the backsplash information. I can’t wait to order it for my own kitchen.
What do you have here for countertops?
Hi! Those are quartz countertops! But they are discontinued! So sorry!
Love your kitchen! Can you please tell me more about your countertops? Are they granite or quartz? What is the color?
Hi! Those are quartz countertops! But they are discontinued! So sorry!
Hello, could you please let me know which countertop you used for your kitchen? I’m using your kitchen design as an inspiration for my kitchen remodel.
