Finding the perfect hardware for your home often involves more than just picking a style you love; it’s about ensuring every detail—from your cabinet handles to your kitchen mixer—works in harmony. Because "Copper" and "Bronze" can vary significantly between manufacturers, we know how important it is to see these finishes side-by-side before making a final decision.
To help you design with confidence, we have put together this compatibility guide featuring some of the most popular and frequently requested tapware brands and finishes. We have compared our Manovella Brushed Copper PVD handles against leading names like Sussex, Faucet Strommen, and ABI Interiors to show you exactly how they pair in real-world lighting.
Whether you are looking for a near-perfect match or a sophisticated tonal contrast, the following comparisons will help you find the ideal partner for your Manovella hardware.
Faucet Strommen | Polished Terminus Copper
Compatibility: Synchronised Tones
The Polished Terminus Copper offers the same rich base colour as its brushed counterpart but features a high-shine, reflective surface. Pairing our brushed handles with polished tapware is a popular design choice, as it adds sophisticated layers of texture to the room. This combination allows you to play with different light reflections while keeping the underlying metal tones perfectly synchronised.
Faucet Strommen | Brushed Terminus Copper
Compatibility: Near-Perfect Match
If you are installing Faucet Strommen’s Brushed Terminus Copper, you will find it is one of the most consistent pairings for our hardware. The depth of the copper tone and the "satin" feel of the finish align beautifully with our PVD handles. It provides a seamless, high-end look where the tapware and cabinet handles appear to be from the same designer collection.
Sussex | LUXPVD® Silk Rose Gold & Rare Bronze
Compatibility: Excellent Match (Silk Rose Gold)
The Silk Rose Gold from Sussex is an exceptionally close match for our Brushed Copper PVD, sharing the same soft undertones and fine brushed texture. While the Rare Bronze (pictured on the left) is a warmer, more golden alternative, both finishes provide a high-end feel that complements the Manovella range beautifully.
Sussex | LUXPVD® Silk Rose Gold (Polished)
Compatibility: High-Shine Coordination
The polished version of the Silk Rose Gold provides the exact same base colour as our handles but with a mirror-like, reflective surface. This is a great choice for those who want their tapware to stand out as a focal point while still perfectly coordinating with the underlying copper tones of our brushed cabinet handles.
ABI Interiors | Brushed Copper (SS)
Compatibility: Very Strong Match
ABI Interiors' Brushed Copper is a widely recognised benchmark for this finish. Our Brushed Copper PVD handles have been specifically designed to align with this aesthetic, featuring a vibrant, true copper hue and a consistent brushed pattern that allows for a seamless transition between your tapware and cabinetry.
Astra Walker | Tuscan Bronze PVD
Compatibility: Rich & Earthy Pairing
Astra Walker’s Tuscan Bronze is a sophisticated PVD finish with a slightly deeper, more "weathered" copper look. Our Brushed Copper handles are slightly brighter, which helps to "lift" the look of the room. They share a similar brushed grain, ensuring the two finishes feel cohesive despite the slight difference in shade.
Nero | Brushed Bronze
Compatibility: Subtle Contrast
Nero’s Brushed Bronze is a touch darker and more "bronzed" than our Brushed Copper PVD. While not an identical match, they sit comfortably in the same colour family. This pairing works best when you want the tapware to be a bold focal point, with the cabinet handles providing a slightly lighter accent to balance the space.
Meir | Lustre Bronze
Compatibility: Warm & Sophisticated
Meir’s Lustre Bronze sits between a traditional copper and a deep bronze. When placed next to our handles, it appears slightly more "chocolatey." However, because both use high-quality PVD coating, they share a similar "glow" under interior lighting, making them a very stylish duo for high-end homes.
