![]() I am crazy for polished nickel and am planning for that with all the plumbing and faucets. Updating both 1950s bathrooms entirely (goodbye vintage pink tile!). I have read through all the comments, but did not see my proposed metals combination addressed. I greatly appreciate any help you can offer Kathy! For some reason my question mark button isn’t working right now…… we are still needing a stairwell chandelier, entry fixture and a ceiling fan for the family room. ![]() And if that IS the case then should I consider glass fixers to layer in texture. I know you are all about mixing metals, but should be stick to these two (brass and black) rather than adding in a third. We have purchased brass pendant lights for over the island (white shaker cabinets with virginia mist granite on the surround and Calcutta Verona quartz on the island all with brass hardware) and are wanting to use our existing fixture in the dining area (wood and black metal globe). Our main floor will be open concept with full sight lines of the entry, dining, kitchen and family room. ![]() This has proven to be a very stressful topic and I just need some advice from an expert. I am hoping you can give me some guidance with our lighting that will be going into our newly remodeled home. You clearly have exquisite taste and know your stuff. I cannot tell you how much I loved this article and reading through the past questions with your advice. What do you think would be best for the refrigerator color with what I’ve described above. We have to get a refrigerator, we can get stainless but we love the new black stainless that is out now. But the appliances (stove, microwave and dishwasher) are included and are stainless but have black on them. What would be your suggestion?Īlso, not really a “metal” question. Will these smoked iron lights work or should I stick with a bronze type pendant and dining light? I did find one that was a clear glass, dark bronze and some gold/brass that I liked but just ok with the dining room light that goes with it…but I could live with it. I’m just not sure if this will work since we’d end up with oil rubbed bronze, stainless steel and now this smoked iron. I love 2 pendants and a dining room light that are smoked iron. The fan in the GR is an oil rubbed bronze. Cabinets are maple of a color called “maple truffle”, so they are a brownish tone. The great room, kitchen and dining area are all open concept with just a small island separating the GR and kitchen. All hardware (door handles, faucets, cabinet pulls etc) throughout the house are oil rubbed bronze. I found your article when researching info on mixing metals. That being said, if you have several metallic tones that look very similar but not identical, it’ll look like a mistake. We often get questions about which metals work best together, and the answer is: They all can go together…as long as there is clear design intent! Metals are meant to be mixed, so don’t worry too much about whether they’ll “go together” and instead make sure each finish is a thoughtful addition to your space. Many people think that matching your finishes is the best way to coordinate your home or kitchen, but in reality this often creates a monochromatic and dated look. Warm metals (like gold, brass, and nickel) read as a rich pop of color and texture when placed with cool metals like silver and chrome. Or if you love the “gold and white” look, add in a chrome table or pendant light for metallic balance.ĭON’T: Be Afraid of Mixing Warm and Cool Tones If you have a modern, stainless steel kitchen, choosing a chandelier or vintage piece with silver or gold can add charm and texture. For example, if your kitchen hardware is in an oil-brushed bronze, copper pots and accent pieces will add a warm glow. Choose a metal you love to be the most prominent finish in your space, then select one or two metal accents to complete the look.
