Bronze Finishes Choices for Decorative Hardware

I’ve been holding onto this idea for a post for a while but with Olympic Fever Spreading it seems like a good time to mention that Hardware manufacturer Amerock wins a Gold Medal for their new Bronze Finishes.

BRUSHED BRONZE FINISH

Amerock describes this finish as the perfect blend of both Silver and Gold Tones. I think this finish exudes energy and looks great on the contemporary stylings of Essential’Z and Arrondi Bath Collection.

CARAMEL BRONZE FINISH

The new Caramel Bronze finish is decadent. It’s Bold yet gives a rustic nod to its rustic roots. It is available exclusively in the Candler, Extensity and the Clarendon Bath collections.

GILDED BRONZE

While this finish is not exactly new, it is now available on the new Mulholland Collection. The large appliance pull options from this collection are especially nice.

I hope all of you have a wonderful 4th of July! I’ll be watching the parade and fireworks in downtown Naples.

Best, Ann Porter, CKD
