While they may seem like such a small element and the final step when it comes to completing a home, handles are more important than you may realise & can truly impact the design and style of a space in a large way.
As kitchen and interior trends are ever evolving, handle finishes follow suit. In recent years, the landscape of cabinet hardware design has undergone a significant transformation. Moving away from the once-dominant uniform and minimalist styles, there is now a clear trend toward diverse cabinet designs and eclectic elements. This shift signals a departure from stark, all-white kitchens and overly simplistic aesthetics, reflecting a growing desire for spaces that exude character and warmth.
As we look ahead to 2025, cabinet hardware trends are embracing personalisation, bold design choices, and the use of varied materials and textures. These changes are part of a broader interior design movement that values individuality, warmth, and a connection to natural elements, guiding consumers to opt for more expressive and customized hardware options. This has led to us seeing a rise in buyers gravitating towards Bronze finishes for warmth in their home, and TouchMade & TouchStone products; adding a unique piece of them to their space that tells a story.
We have teamed up with GJ Gardener Bendigo to cover the rising handle trends of 2025, so what are you waiting for? The guide is below:
All things bronze!
Choco Bronze, American Bronze, Champagne Bronze, Burnt Bronze, Bronze & Brushed Bronze are just a selection of the Touch Collection of Bronzes. Our wide range of bronzy finishes stand testament to the rising popularity of all things bronze in cabinet hardware.
The revival of Bronze in 2025 is driven by the material's ability to impart warmth, elegance, and a touch of vintage charm to spaces. With Mocha Mousse titled Pantones colour of 2025, warm tones are back, with the glistening bronzy finishes adding the finishing touch to textured & rich spaces, flowing with warm and cozy tones.
Ferrara Lip Pull in Burnt Bronze - A living finish made in house that changes in bronze hues as you touch Ferrara. A unique handle of which no two are the same, allowing you to give it its own character, yet provides that same stunning burnt glow to your space.

Sustainable stories & the rise of Organic Modernism
Organic Modernism focuses on emphasizing natural materials and textures. This style aligns with the use of hardware featuring organic finishes and materials like wood, leather and stone. Homes incorporating organic elements have been shown to sell for up to 3.5% more than expected, underscoring the financial benefit of this aesthetic.
With hours of craftsmanship from collection to customer, reclaimed American Oak is saved from entering the tip, and transformed into masterpieces by craftsmen in the Macedon ranges, ready to adorn your cabinetry. With no two grains the same, each piece is unique, telling its own story, showcasing the beauty in natures imperfect perfection.
Warm and natural, the timbers add a depth & texture to any cabinetry it adorns, telling a story & giving character.

The Stainless Steel & Dull Brushed Nickel evolution:
Ever timeless, yet often disregarded, the silvers are on the rise. A sophisticated look, a handle addition in the simple stainless or nickel is an elegant addition to any kitchen that will likely never age.
We often see a pairing of a simple stainless handle with a bolder kitchen look, a mixing of materials or a colourful cabinet undertone.
The NEW Knurl Collection in Dull Brushed Nickel
Bright & Bold
Playful & Fun, spaces are getting brighter and fuller on the other spectrum of style. Personalised and Eclectic Interiors is a growing trend towards spaces that reflect individual personalities, leading to the selection of unique, statement hardware pieces that contribute to a layered and lived-in aesthetic. This approach moves away from uniformity, embracing diverse styles and elements.

The NEW Flute collection, available in ten fun finishes to bring a spark of colour & character to your space!
The final takeaways?
Uniform and minimalist hardware styles are becoming less prevalent. We are shifting towards incorporating varied cabinet styles and eclectic elements, & moving away from the stark, all-white kitchens and overly simplistic designs that dominated previous years. This evolution reflects a desire for more character and warmth in interior spaces.
The cabinet hardware trends of 2025 are characterised by a move towards personalisation, bold design choices, and the integration of diverse materials and textures. These shifts are driven by broader interior design movements that prioritize individuality, warmth, and a connection to natural elements, shaping consumer preferences towards more expressive and customised hardware selections.
