Top Knobs Adds Classic Charm to the Pemberton Collection with the Elland, Pemberton and Wetherby Suites

September 24, 2026

Top Knobs, the leading manufacturer of decorative kitchen and bath hardware, completes its Pemberton Collection with the introduction of the Elland, Pemberton and Wetherby suites.

Rooted in the enduring appeal of classic design and interpreted through a more contemporary lens, each suite explores its own relationship between form, scale, and detail — yet together they speak a single, cohesive design language, offering considered proportions and refined profiles for contemporary, transitional, and traditional interiors alike. 

The Elland Suite takes a quieter approach to detailing, pairing a streamlined silhouette with softly rounded edges. Its understated profile allows the hardware to read as an architectural accent rather than a purely functional element, lending cabinetry a sense of composed sophistication. 

The Pemberton Suite introduces a more architectural expression, characterized by its crisp profile and elongated proportions. Its streamlined geometry gives designers the ability to layer and coordinate forms throughout a space while maintaining visual continuity — a sophisticated counterpoint to both contemporary cabinetry and more classically inspired millwork. 

With a distinctly traditional character, the Wetherby Suite draws inspiration from the graceful proportions and nuanced detailing of classic architectural hardware. Its elongated profile, gently curved edges and subtle ornamentation introduce depth and dimension, creating a sense of warmth and craftsmanship throughout the space. 

“Elland, Pemberton and Wetherby complete the Pemberton Collection by giving designers three interpretations of a timeless design language,” says Christine Zimmer, Senior Director of Decorative Hardware. “Each suite has its own personality, but they work together seamlessly, giving designers greater flexibility to create a cohesive hardware story throughout the home.”

Case Study: History Meets Modernity with Top Knobs Hardware | Splendid Home Design

History Reinvented

Originally built in 1925 for one of the first doctors in Stuart, Florida, Hibiscus House is a historic residence that has been thoughtfully restored to celebrate its charming old Florida roots while introducing Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial influences. Designed as the heart of the home, the kitchen pairs quarter-sawn white oak cabinetry with white-painted perimeter cabinetry, natural marble countertops, a custom plaster range hood, and integrated appliances. By layering warm wood tones, timeless materials, and refined details, the Splendid Home Design team created a space that feels both collected and sophisticated while honoring the historic character and rich heritage of the home.

Drawing inspiration from both the home’s storied history and the personality of its current residents, the Splendid Home Design team created a home that feels deeply personal while still honoring the original home’s roots. Among the home’s many thoughtful design details of layered warm woods, natural stone and handcrafted finishes, the selection of hardware styles served as a defining design detail.

Details That Touch

Top Knobs hardware can be found throughout nearly every space in the home, from the kitchen and pantry to the office and mudroom. As one of the few design elements interacted with daily, hardware must provide the perfect balance of function and beauty. The Splendid Home Design team selected Top Knobs hardware for its exceptional craftsmanship, timeless profiles and extensive portfolio of coordinating collections. The hardware selection curates a cohesive design language throughout the entire home while allowing each space to maintain its own distinct personality. From painted cabinetry and quarter-sawn white oak to fluted light oak millwork, Top Knobs complements every cabinetry style, adding an elevated yet intentional touch to the design.

For this home, the design team selected four of Top Knobs’ suites, incorporating hardware across 11 different spaces. A mix of the knobs and pulls from the Charlotte, Hollow, Kinney and Cumberland suites brings together a balance of classic and contemporary influences, making it especially well suited to the restoration of this historic home. Throughout the home, all the hardware is in Top Knobs’ Honey Bronze finish. As one of Top Knobs’ best-selling finishes, Honey Bronze offers a chic twist on classic bronze and brass finishes, bringing a sense of warmth, comfort, and glamour to the interior of this home.

Thoughtfully selected hardware became one of the finishing details that connected every room with warmth, craftsmanship, and a sense of continuity.”

Throughout the home, Top Knobs hardware ties each space together while highlighting the unique personality of each room. From the inviting brass accents in the kitchen and pantry to the fluted bar cabinetry and light oak vanities of the primary bath, the hardware serves as the perfect finishing touch to unify home’s historic charm with today’s modern luxury.

Case Study: Elevated Finishing Touches with Top Knobs Hardware | Honeycomb Home Design

May 27, 2026

Location: Templeton, California
Designer: Honeycomb Home Design
Project Name: Rustic Revival

Rustic Warmth Reimagined

Located in the charming town of Templeton, California, this home serves as a welcoming retreat. Defined by a sense of quiet luxury that’s carried seamlessly from space to space, the home was refreshed with a warm, modern sensibility that feels elevated yet lived in. With the kitchen as the true heart of the home, the space features natural textures, thoughtful craftsmanship and soft, grounded tones that create an inviting central gathering space. Adjoined by the living and dining rooms, these spaces showcase layered materials and cozy woodwork, curating an atmosphere that’s both relaxed and deeply connected to the surrounding landscape. This ambiance flows throughout the home, where each room balances comfort, simplicity, and elegance, letting the architecture, light, and setting shine.

Drawing inspiration from modern Scandinavian design, this residence blends natural materials, rustic accents and contemporary finishes to create the perfect warm and welcoming home. Key textures throughout the space include lime wash plaster range hoods and fireplaces, rustic stone accent walls and smooth stucco, all contributing to the home’s sophisticated, refined and inviting atmosphere.

Elevated Finishing Touches

The team at Honeycomb Home Design was intentional with every detail, selecting pieces that feel grounded, textural and quietly elevated. Top Knobs was the natural choice for this project, as the hardware brings together clean lines, substantial weight and handcrafted finishes that beautifully complement the space. With a diverse variety of layered details throughout the home, the homeowners and designers craved hardware that enhanced the palette without competing with it, and the refined simplicity of Top Knobs’ pieces paired seamlessly with the home’s organic character.

For this residence, the Honeycomb Home Design team chose a mix of the Lily Pull in Flat Black and the Charlotte Pull in Honey Bronze. Both styles feature rounded, contemporary silhouettes that bring a polished edge to the interiors while still maintaining its natural character.

The Designer’s Perspective

“We return to Top Knobs again and again because their quality is felt immediately: solid construction, consistent finishes, and silhouettes that age gracefully,” states Ariana Lovato, Principal of Honeycomb Home Design. “In this project, their hardware became the quiet thread that ties cabinetry, built‑ins, and millwork together, subtle, intentional, and built to last.”

The Perfect Complement

The Honeycomb Home Design team ensures that every Honey Cabinetry installation feels complete, and in this project, the hardware became far more than just a functional detail. For Rustic Revival, the cabinetry already carried a strong sense of warmth and artistry, but the addition of the hardware gave the project its finished, intentional presence. Top Knobs’ pieces serve as the ideal complement, as they are structured without being heavy, refined without feeling precious and timeless enough to fit in the home for years to come.

Top Knobs offered the perfect details to complete this project, tying together the millwork, updated finishes and natural materials and providing the cabinetry with a sense of refinement and purpose.
