Trends in Cabinet Hardware

Thursday, October 29, 2015

October 29, 2015 -
We would like to start a discussion about trends in hardware. How do you feel about trends? Is this important to you? What if you install what is the newest trend and you discover that it is not really what you want?

Could it be that researching product and finding what you like may be more important than going with what has been anointed as the newest most popular thing?

Hardware on your cabinets and drawers in your kitchen and bath are going to be there for awhile as long as you select something that is durable. So it seems that selecting something that really appeals to you would make sense.

Reflections of Elegance: Shower Door Handles by Jazz & Riffs Hardware
How light, glass, and mood meet in one powerful design detail.
At Jazz & Riffs Hardware, we believe that every detail should reflect beauty, function, and intention. Our innovative glass patterns do more than decorate they transform. The Jazz & Riffs shower door handles bring together tactile design and visual harmony. The Jazz glass on the exterior interacts with the ambient light, amplifying the hues of surrounding tiles, counters, and finishes. It's like a prism of your room's personality, offering a final touch that elevates the entire space.
Inside the shower, our Riffs glass adds a contrasting shimmer subtle yet sparkling. Its crystalline texture mimics the interplay of water and light, becoming a backdrop that enhances the sense of serenity and luxury. Paired ... Read More

Series Six: Where Art Meets Function - The Story Behind Jazz & Riffs Hardware

Tuesday, April 29, 2025

At Jazz & Riffs Hardware, we believe that the small details are what bring a space to life. Our collection is the result of a deep love for both craftsmanship and creativity — where the energy of molten glass, the precision of metalwork, and the rhythm of music come together to create truly unforgettable pieces.

Each knob, pull, and handle is handcrafted using proprietary kiln-cast and cold-working techniques, designed to capture movement, color, and texture in a way that traditional hardware simply cannot.

Like fine art or hand-pulled prints, each piece carries its own subtle signature — a microscopic mark of authenticity, not imperfection — ensuring a design that feels alive, expressive, and emotionally resonant.
Because every order is made-to-order we are able to maintain perfect visual harmony across your project.

Series Seven: Bombay Blue - A Designer's Jewel

Bombay Blue was curated into the Jazz & Riffs hardware collection from the breathtaking waters of a Caribbean Bay where the sea shifts into soft crystallizing tones of blue. This color captures both serenity and depth bringing calming yet vibrant energy into interior spaces.

What makes Bombay Blue so versatile is how beautifully it pairs with other design elements. It anchors warm, dark wood tones with richness and stability and it complements rose-inspired hues—whether soft blush or deep red—by creating balance and contrast. Metallic accents also shine against this tone from subtle silvers to bold gunmetal finishes allowing designers to play with either softness or strength in a room. A perfect color that bridges transitional and contemporary design with effortless style.

Selected for its brightness and life Bombay Blue is equally... Read More
