Summer is the perfect time to refresh your space — and sometimes all it takes is a new coat of paint and the right hardware to transform a room. At Viaggio Hardware, we believe that great design is in the details. That’s why we’ve curated a guide to our favorite seasonal paint and hardware pairings to inspire your next summer project.
Whether you’re brightening up your front door, refreshing kitchen cabinets, or styling an airy bathroom, these palettes bring the best of summer indoors, with a modern twist.
Terracotta + Satin Brass
Warm & Earthy Elegance
- Paint Inspiration: Sherwin-Williams “Cavern Clay” or Benjamin Moore “Terra Cotta Tile”

- Best For: Entryways, powder rooms, or feature walls in living rooms.
Try it with: Viaggio’s Satin Brass Circolo Rosette paired with a sleek lever like Brezza Lever.
Pale Blue + Polished Chrome
Coastal Modern Minimalism
- Paint Inspiration: Behr “Spa” or Farrow & Ball “Skylight”
- Why it Works: Light blues evoke sea breezes and summer skies. Bright Chrome provides a clean, reflective accent that adds a crisp edge.
- Best For: Bathrooms, bedrooms, or mudrooms.

Sage Green + Satin Black
Grounded & Sophisticated

Creamy White + Titanium Gray
Subtle Texture, Timeless Look

Dusty Plum + Satin Nickel
Unexpected & Luxe
- Paint Inspiration: Farrow & Ball “Pelt” or Sherwin-Williams “Exclusive Plum”
- Why it Works: Muted purples are rich and enveloping. Satin Nickel’s cool tone complements the depth of plum with a hint of sheen.
- Best For: Accent walls, dining rooms, or walk-in closets
Design Tip
Always test paint samples in natural light before committing, and view them next to your hardware of choice. A side-by-side vision board or flat lay can help you visualize the impact of the combo.
