Matte black’s ability to enhance nearly any design has caused its popularity to soar. The finish is available on everything from sleek kitchen appliances to chalkboard-style walls to technology, proving that this style is here to stay and making it easier than ever to carry cohesive style throughout the home.
Want a rich color palette with lush contrasts? Accent bold paints and patterns with matte black fixtures. Prefer neutrals? Or maybe something with a touch of shine? Matte black again. Gold and silver sparkle even more when accented with darker matte finishes. Make a statement with contrasts.
“For those that have not remodeled in some time, adding black to your home may seem a radical change,” says Ted Roberts, our Style and Design Chief. “Though it’s a departure from the brass and nickel finishes of the recent past, matte black really is a finish that effectively coordinates with a variety of colors and textures.”
Door hardware in this finish is the perfect opportunity to experiment if black accessories feel a bit extreme. Here are some simple ideas for tastefully adding Matte Black to your current décor.
1Beauty inside.
Freshen your look with Matte Black door hardware, especially if your home takes its style cues from the clean lines of Bauhaus architecture or you like an industrial modern look. The finish also draws inspiration from wrought ironwork, so don’t rule it out if your tastes are more traditional.
2Bold curb appeal.
Matte Black exterior door hardware is the perfect opportunity to enhance curb appeal with contrasting punches of color. Make a bold statement with a bright front door – yellow, anyone? – and a Matte Black Schlage Custom handleset or smart lock. You won’t sacrifice an ounce of security with this style move.
3Flawless design.
Matte Black door hardware pairs flawlessly with many modern elements in your home – appliances, lighting fixtures, other interior and exterior door hardware, and technology. The finish can blend all these elements. While Matte Black looks great with contemporary designs, the important thing is to choose what you like.
4Make a match.
To give your home’s interior a stunning new look, refresh your hardware with Schlage Matte Black and echo it with dark accents throughout the home. Wood furniture with black detailing is a great option for highlighting matte black hardware. HGTV.com’s Jackie Dishner says that “black makes wood grains pop out.”
