In the evolving world of hardware, it’s often the smallest details that make the biggest difference. One such detail is enjoying a bold transformation: pull handles—no longer just functional hardware, but design statements in their own right.

From Utility to Unified Style

Traditionally, pull handles and lever handles were selected independently, with a focus on function and material durability. But this year, designers and homeowners are embracing a more holistic approach to interior hardware, treating it as part of the broader design narrative.

By pairing pull handles with complementary lever handles, spaces feel more intentional and considered. Whether it's a bold matte black handle echoed in a matching door lever, or a sage green wardrobe pull paired with a subtly toned lever in the same hue, this approach creates visual harmony across rooms and cabinetry.

The Power of Colour & Materials

Colour is playing a major role in defining the aesthetics of contemporary interiors. Earthy hues like terracotta, olive, and deep rust are grounding modern schemes, while soft neutrals and muted pastels add calmness and sophistication. In contrast, vibrant pops of coral, navy, or ochre are being used to energize minimalist or monochrome spaces.

By extending these tones across both pull and lever handles, designers are able to tie entire rooms—and even whole homes—together through color continuity. Using a calm colour in Hardware or a raw metal look is coming through to pair this with the interiors. Cocoa Colours and Brushed Brass along with a simple pull handle that is part of the series of hardware is really adding the complete look with the room.

The trend isn’t just about color—it’s also about texture and material pairing. In 2025, we're seeing a rise in powder-coated metal handles, ceramic pulls with glazed finishes, and eco-conscious timber or resin designs—all offered in matching or complementary lever handle styles.

Brushed brass handles can be found echoed in warm-toned levers, while soft-touch finishes on cupboard pulls are mirrored in ergonomic, matte-finish door levers. This creates a sense of fluidity and flow from door to drawer, adding a tactile, sensory layer to the interior experience.

Function Meets Aesthetic

Homeowners are no longer just thinking about one-off updates—they’re planning entire spaces with cohesion in mind. Coordinating wardrobe and cupboard handles with door levers helps achieve a consistent, high-end feel without the cost of a full renovation.

Design-savvy manufacturers are responding to this shift by offering hardware collections that include both pull handles and lever handles and kitchen handles and in some cases lighting in the same finishes and tones. This makes it easier than ever to mix and match across a space while maintaining aesthetic unity.

A Detail That Makes a Statement

For designers and homeowners alike, this hardware space is about more than just matching—it’s about storytelling. Hardware offers a way to reflect personality and taste in a subtle yet striking way. When pulls and levers are chosen with care, they become the “accessories” of the home—functional, stylish, and meaningful.

Final Thought

As 2025 redefines what thoughtful interiors look like, pull handles and coordinated lever hardware are rising as go-to elements in creating modern, cohesive, and expressive living spaces. Whether updating a wardrobe, renovating a kitchen, or simply refining the details in a new-build, matching your hardware choices brings a new level of polish to the project.

Because in today’s design landscape, it’s not just about opening doors—it’s about opening possibilities.
