Thinking black hardware offers nothing but industrial vibes? Let’s debunk this myth for good! Pair our matte black levers with timber floors and cabinet hardware if you enjoy a japandi look but love accentuating details. Black will add a bit of contrast and a strong statement.

Brass and white look incredible together! What is now a classic combination in 2023, creates luxury in small spaces such as powder rooms and bathrooms. We recommend matching white tiles and bathware with brass tapware and hardware for a bit of glamour.

The oversized form of our stainless steel Trilock Omni pull handle is a fantastic choice for a double storey house and will visually match other external vertical fixtures such as cladding, fencing and garage doors.

Brass tapware paired with matt black hardware to achieve a bold, balanced and elegant look. We love this combination against the textured grey terrazzo! Featuring Gainsborough Neue Angular lever on a round rose.

Bold without being over the top, satin brass gives the perfect amount of understated style and shine. We love seeing it in white on white interiors, where little design details have the biggest visual impact!

Contemporary and sophisticated colour palette features a mix of dark indigo and black with a touch of satin brass. Our Bailey lever in sleek matt black looks spot on - elegant yet fresh!
