When designing a home, palettes set
the scene and furniture shapes the
flow of the design, but hardware is
the final detail that ties it all together.
The design is perfected in the details,
whether it’s the curve of a door handle
or the tones that create the personality
of the space.
Think about how the glint of a warm
brass edge, the calm simplicity of
matte white, and the depth of
graphite create the art of detail. With
new special finishes, Gainsborough
elevates hardware from functional
necessity to design statement,
offering the tones and textures that
complete your mood boards with a
sense of cohesion and craftsmanship.
Let’s explore which special finishes are
perfect for your projects, and using the
Style Sourcebook mood board tool is a
great way to delve into how you can
style Satin Brass, Satin Graphite, and
White as the perfect finishing touches
in your space.

Satin Brass for Warm Modernism
With its soft golden glow, Satin Brass
brings a sense of warmth and
refinement to any space. It’s a finish
that feels timeless yet modern,
pairing beautifully with natural
stone, soft neutrals, and creamy
textures. Whether used as a subtle
highlight in a minimalist scheme or
layered into a palette of warm woods
and linen tones, Satin Brass adds a
touch of quiet luxury.
“The injection of warmth that Satin Brass brings to a project is so delightful, it connects with design styles that bequeath quality such as Hamptons, Haussmannian and Mid Century.”
- Jenni Robin, Interior Designer

White for Minimal Luxe
Clean, crisp, and effortlessly chic,
White hardware evokes a sense
of purity and calm. Ideal for coastal,
Scandinavian, or Japandi-inspired
homes, this finish pairs beautifully
with soft oak, pale stone, and tonal
whites.
It’s a detail that feels subtle but
powerful. A reminder that restraint
can be just as expressive as boldness.
