Three designers we chatted with agreed that chrome is starting to rise in popularity again. Priya Vij is the founder of Hapny Home, a cabinet hardware company, and she gets firsthand insight into trends based on what sells.

«I have started to see an uptick in orders of silver-toned hardware this year,» she says. «People are looking for softer alternatives to stark black and the brightness and sparkle that comes with cool-toned chrome compared to brass.»

Will Zhang is the director of design and product innovation at Emtek, which sells door hardware in addition to cabinet hardware.
Zhang partially credits chrome's comeback to another design trend.
