TRENDING FINISHES<\/h5>\n

When it comes to finishes, what is trending?
\n<\/b>TAG identified black and gold as the most popular finishes and <\/span>Belwith Keeler found popularity with two gold shades and Gunmetal.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11323″ img_size=”320×180″ alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

FINISH CONSISTENCY<\/h5>\n

TAG Hardware’s Coordinated Hardware System ensures all products work together and simplifies the sales process for the design consultant.<\/span><\/p>\n

COLOR OF THE YEAR<\/h5>\n

‘Peach Fuzz’ and ‘Champagne Bronze’ were the tones that set the tone in 2023.\u00a0 Color trends influence the way companies create their color palette and decide what gets rolled out to the market.<\/span><\/p>\n

LEATHER<\/h5>\n

TAG has identified leather as a strong and durable element in designs. It breaks up that cold feel from the hardware and adds a soft luxury..<\/span><\/p>\n

BIG PULLS<\/h5>\n

Longer, more prominent drawer and door pulls are becoming more dominant in designs.\u00a0 Larger pulls create a stronger feel and powerful look.<\/p>\n

LEAD THE CUSTOMER<\/h5>\n

Sometimes letting a customer choose too many details can overwhelm them and have dire consequence. Trust your instincts on scale, color and function when choosing hardware.<\/p>\n

FLEXIBILE ORGANIZATION<\/h5>\n

The focus in on the ability to customize organization to the client\u2019s needs.\u00a0 <\/span>The wardrobe is an ever evolving unit and as<\/span> professionals, we need to sell the idea of flexibility. Contour<\/a><\/strong> is an example of adjustability.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11319″ img_size=”320×180″ alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

TECHNOLOGY<\/h5>\n

The more complex and intricate the products get, the more we need supporting design tools. TAG is ahead of its time by ensuring our new products are embedded in CAD software.<\/span><\/p>\n

TRAINING<\/h5>\n

Panels, seminars, and industry events help designers become the authority in the room.\u00a0 This continuous improvement helps designers convey products USP\u2019s with confidence and h<\/span>elps move the industry forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11321″ img_size=”320×180″ alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

COLOR CUES<\/h5>\n

Every home has metal elements; light fixtures, architectural hardware, decorative hardware – read the room to identify your client\u2019s preference. You can then introduce colors that best coordinate with the materials already being used in their home.<\/span><\/p>\n

HERE TO HELP<\/h5>\n

\u00a0Engage with your customers, listen listen listen. It\u2019s their project after all. There is no room for EGO in design.\u00a0 Tell them: <\/span>\u201cThe more information you share, the better I\u2019ll be able to assist you\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
