New House, New Hardware: Why We Chose the Carré Short Plate with Eden Prairie Knob
Upgrade your home with Grandeur Hardware’s Carré Short Plate and Eden Prairie Knob—perfect for those seeking hardware trends in 2025.
Moving into a new home mid-renovation is equal parts exciting and overwhelming… there are boxes and tools everywhere, endless decisions to make, and a list of updates that feels a mile long. But one of the very first decisions we made? Swapping out every piece of 1994 door hardware for Grandeur Hardware’s Carré Short Plate with the Eden Prairie Knob in Polished Nickel.
Now you might be thinking…. why install door hardware mid-renovation chaos? Because I’ve learned that it’s one of those small details that make a surprisingly big impact. It’s something you see and touch every single day, and with almost every room having at least one door, consistent hardware creates a sense of harmony that instantly elevates the entire home and pulls everything together.
With its clean parallel lines and classic silhouette, the Carré Short Plate is everything I love in hardware design, paired with the Eden Prairie Knob’s soft, classic curves. Simply timeless. And the polished nickel finish? Absolute perfection. It strikes the perfect balance of traditional and fresh, with a warmth that glows beautifully in both daylight and evening light.
And it’s not just me - 2025 is seeing a major resurgence of polished chrome and its close cousin, polished nickel. After years of brass and matte black dominating design, cooler metallics are making a hot comeback, popping up everywhere from kitchen faucets to sculptural lighting and home decor. This finish is fresh, reflective, and endlessly versatile, pairing effortlessly with both modern and traditional interiors. For me, it was the perfect way to bring a touch of timeless shine to our new home.
Proof that even the smallest details can set the tone for the whole space.
