Creating a cohesive look in your home is all about the finer details, ensuring your cabinet hardware and tapware speak the same design language. However, because "Brushed Brass" and "Gold" finishes can range from pale champagne to deep honey between different brands, seeing them side-by-side is essential for achieving the right balance.
To help you design with confidence, we have put together this compatibility guide featuring the most popular and frequently requested brass tapware finishes. We have compared our Manovella Brushed Brass PVD handles against leading names like Sussex, ABI Interiors, and Faucet Strommen to show you exactly how they pair in real-world settings.
Whether you are chasing a seamless, near-perfect match or a subtle tonal variation, the following comparisons will help you find the ideal partner for your Manovella hardware.
Sussex | LUXPVD® Brushed Pure Gold & Platinum Gold
Compatibility: Near-Perfect Match (Pure Gold)
Sussex’s Brushed Pure Gold (left) is a stunning, high-end match for our hardware, capturing the same elegant yellow-gold tones. The Brushed Platinum Gold (right) offers a slightly cooler, champagne-toned alternative for a more subdued and sophisticated look that still coordinates beautifully.
ABI Interiors | Brushed Brass (SS & SB)
Compatibility: Very Strong Match
ABI Interiors' Brushed Brass is a popular industry benchmark. Our PVD handles are an excellent companion for both their Stainless Steel (SS) and Solid Brass (SB) ranges. The colour profile is highly consistent across both brands, offering a vibrant and modern brass aesthetic for your cabinetry.
Faucet Strommen | Brushed Liberty Gold
Compatibility: Vibrant & Warm Match
If you are looking for a rich, "true gold" feel, Brushed Liberty Gold from Faucet Strommen is a fantastic choice. It is slightly warmer and more saturated than our handles, creating a bright, energetic look that makes the tapware a standout feature in any room.
Astra Walker | Urban Brass PVD
Compatibility: Near-Perfect Match
Astra Walker’s Urban Brass PVD is a premium finish that aligns exceptionally well with our range. Both share a very similar grain in the brushed texture and a balanced gold hue that isn't too yellow or too pale, making it a safe and stylish pairing for high-end renovations.
Faucet Strommen | Brushed Admiralty Brass
Compatibility: Classic Brass Tones
Brushed Admiralty Brass is a slightly more traditional take on the finish. It shares a very similar light-reflecting quality with our hardware, making them highly compatible for those who want a classic brass look that doesn't feel aged or "antique."
Meir | Tiger Bronze
Compatibility: Rich & Earthy Pairing
Meir’s signature Tiger Bronze is a deeper, more earthy version of brushed brass, leaning towards a "honey" tone. While our handles are a touch brighter, both finishes share a similar warmth that makes them a very popular pairing for modern, contemporary homes.
Yabby | Brushed Brass
Compatibility: Modern & Consistent
The Brushed Brass from Yabby is a very close match in terms of colour and texture. It features a modern, clean brass tone that perfectly mirrors the finish of our PVD handles, ensuring a consistent look from your sink mixers to your cabinet pulls.
Faucet Strommen | Discovery Bronze
Compatibility: Subtle Contrast
Discovery Bronze sits firmly in the brass family but with a slightly deeper, more muted undertone. It provides a subtle contrast to our handles, making it ideal for designers who want their hardware to look coordinated rather than an exact match.
Nero | Brushed Gold
Compatibility: Bright & Airy
Nero’s Brushed Gold is a light finish that leans towards a paler champagne-gold. It is slightly less "yellow" than traditional brass, providing a sophisticated and fresh look when paired with our Brushed Brass hardware.
