Brushed Nickel Cabinet Handles

Brushed Nickel Cabinet Handles Buying Guide

Brushed nickel cabinet handles have a soft, warm silver finish with a fine grain that suits almost any kitchen, bathroom or laundry. This collection includes Momo Handles D handles, knobs, cup pulls and lip pulls in dull brushed nickel, Zanda Mayfair, Manhattan and Marco designs, and Meir Oppen round pulls and edge pulls. It suits Hamptons, coastal, transitional and modern interiors.

What is brushed nickel?

Brushed nickel is a nickel finish with fine lines brushed into the surface, giving a low sheen instead of a mirror shine. It has a slightly warmer tone than chrome or stainless steel. Momo's dull brushed nickel is a little flatter and softer again, which suits a matt, understated look.

Is brushed nickel better than chrome?

Brushed nickel hides fingerprints, water spots and small scratches better than polished chrome, so it suits busy family kitchens. Chrome is brighter and cooler. If your tapware is brushed nickel, matching handles make the room feel consistent. If your tapware is chrome, satin chrome handles are a closer match.

Which handle styles are available in brushed nickel?

The range covers most styles. D handles include the Momo Dallas, Livorno, Sense Mini and knurled Graf. Knobs include the 29mm Florencia, 32mm New Hampton and Zanda Mayfair, and the 41mm Como. There is a 96mm New Hampton Wide cup pull, the Barrington Eclipse half moon, the Ona lip pull, and Meir Oppen round pulls at 200mm and 328mm. For a handleless look, Meir Oppen edge pulls come in 75mm, 150mm and 300mm.

What is an edge pull?

An edge pull fixes to the top or side edge of a door or drawer, with a slim lip that your fingers hook behind. It gives a near-handleless look on slab doors. The Meir Oppen edge pulls in 75mm, 150mm and 300mm lengths let you size the pull to the drawer: short pulls on small drawers and long pulls on wide drawers and tall doors.

What does brushed nickel pair with?

Brushed nickel suits white, grey, navy, sage and timber cabinetry, and pairs well with marble and pale stone benchtops. Match it with brushed nickel tapware, sinks and shower fittings. In a bathroom, brushed nickel handles on a vanity sit well beside brushed nickel mixers, and the finish copes well with everyday humidity. It also sits comfortably next to matte black accents if you want a little contrast.

How do I clean brushed nickel handles?

Wipe with a soft damp cloth and a little mild detergent, then dry. Wipe in the direction of the grain. Avoid abrasive pads, metal polish, bleach and harsh chemical cleaners, which can scratch or dull the finish.
