In order to complete the look of a rustic kitchen, antique metals can be used as hardware to adorn your cabinets. Rather than sleek stainless steel or silver hardware, rubbed brass, wrought iron, distressed gold or bronze pulls and knobs can be used to give the warm and cozy look of your perfect rustic kitchen.
