These worked really well in changing out my hardware for my kitchen and two bathrooms. My house was a new build spec home, so I didn't get to choose my colors.  The cabinets throughout the home were a light gray with brushed nickel hardware that is common a lot of the other homes in this area. I wanted something different but it was cost prohibitive to have the cabinets re-painted. So I thought if I could change out the hardware it would make a difference and the contrast is great! They also have a great feel!
