4 Key Kitchen Looks

Key Kitchen Looks

Whether you are renovating your kitchen or choosing a new one, the choice of ironmongery can totally transform the overall look. Drawer pulls, cupboard knobs, hooks and other accessories provide the all-important finishing details. Choose From The Anvil ironmongery to add a touch of quality. There are many things to consider when designing a kitchen, so we have put together four different kitchen looks for ideas & inspiration.

1.) Dark & Dramatic

Contrast dark, bold colours with bright white marble, introduce pattern with tiles and bring the look together with polished bronze ironmongery. The warmth & opulence of this finish looks great against dusky blues and vivid greens.

2.) Natural Materials

Combine natural materials and textures with warm neutral colours to create a calm, relaxing space. Add warmth and character to your kitchen by choosing bare, unpainted wood, marble or slate and natural ceramics. Complete the look with Beeswax or Pewter ironmongery.

3.) High Shine Contemporary

Inspired by period architecture and the classic farmhouse kitchen, this look is achieved by paying attention to the fine details. Choose soft, subtle colours in an eggshell finish. Combine tile, stone or wooden floors with marble worktops and ensure quality joinery and craftmanship. Finish the look with Aged Brass or Aged Bronze ironmongery.

This is such a helpful guide! The right ironmongery can really change the whole feel of a kitchen. I love how each style—from dark and dramatic to classic elegance—has its own unique charm. Polished bronze looks stunning against deep blues, and the natural materials combination feels so warm and inviting!

If you’re upgrading your space, pairing quality ironmongery with a well-designed Kitchen Storage Cupboard is a great way to enhance both style and function. The right cupboard design, along with elegant knobs and pulls, can make a kitchen feel both timeless and practical.

Thanks for the inspiration—so many great ideas here! 😊
