Burnished Brass Pendant, what color cabinet pulls?

last month

I’m need advice on what color cabinet pulls to use for a black/burnished brass pendants in my kitchen. The kitchen is completely being remodeled so no pics available. But I put together pics of sample colors.
Cabinets: white, Island: walnut, Countertop: white quartz, Backsplash: light sage.
The pics are of statin brass/gold pull, black pull, and brushed nickel (I didn’t have a pull but used my toilet roll holder 😁). Please comment or if you know of another finish which would go well, I would love the advice!

I should add that my house is not a modern style and black/white may not be a great fit. But I’ll consider it if it’s the best option.

Why wouldn't you select burnished brass hardware to complement your light fixture.

Thanks, joaniepoanie. I'll check out the knobs and pulls website. I agree many buyers wouldn't know the difference and some would probably plan on remodeling the kitchen anyway. I would prefer to paint the cabinets the same antique white that we've used on all the trim and doors throughout the house. The reason I'm considering a different color is because of my granite counters. Another poster mentioned they appear to have a pinkish undertone and the yellowish antique white might make them appear more pink. I wouldn't want that! Edgecomb Gray looks like a warm neutral with a touch of red, and I thought this might tone down the counters. Here's an inspiration picture of a kitchen if I paint the cabinets a color other than antique white. It looks like a light gray with espresso glaze pinstriping.

Color of the kitchen pendants - antique brass or satin nickel?
Q

I think the satin nickle would be best, or if you want to mix it up a bit the black (oil rubbed bronze?). I like mixing and matching hardware finishes but in this case it looks like this would be the only occurrence of brass so better to match. Black would work because it's neutral.

Can you use a chrome faucet with satin brass cabinet pulls?

Can you use a chrome faucet with satin brass cabinet pulls? Yes : ) . But then I have brushed nickel faucets with polished brass Armac Martin cup pulls and towel bars. And dark bronze that reads black on milk glass pendants. I don't get agitated about matching finishes, preferring a collected-over-time look, but the brushed nickel certainly ties in with the stainless appliances. My cabinets are Ikea Edserum. I fell in love with the same pulls about 20 years ago and had them in our previous kitchen too, with a chrome faucet, and it all looked great. The cabinets there are cream painted wood.

Brass/Gold Pulls and what faucet?
Q
Comments (4)
Thank you for the response. Just so I am sure I understand ; the faucet is polished nickel and the other hardware ie cabinet pulls/knobs is polished brass OR does the faucet have 2 finishes (the polished nickel and polished brass)?

Burnished brass is what it’s called, but it doesn’t really have any burnishing in it. It looks more like the Kohler Vibrant Brass

No one’s going to notice if your pulls and faucet don’t exactly match. I have pewter pulls, and chose Kohler Artifacts faucets in Vibrant Stainless in my kitchen. Whatever Kohler does to make the stainless vibrant, dulls the appearance enough that it blends with the pewter pulls.

If similar

…then try antique brass. What metal is the faucet as that is the more important decision, as the metal on the light is so miminal.

Go for brass. It doesn't matter if your brass pendant and pulls match exactly. Just don't get a yellow or polished brass. Antique brass is a common finish. It will be dull and mottled enough to go well with burnished.
