Polished nickel vs polished chrome
Comments (11)Thanks - that's helpful to know that the nickel is a warmer tone. You can kind of see that the tone is slightly different in the pictures. I wonder if the patina thing happens with all or if that's a brand specific situation. I don't really want to get a patina like the ORB stuff I bought years back. My new faucet is chrome. I will never again buy any faucet that isn't classic chrome as I'm so tired of the trendy finishes that go out of style. I don't particularly like silver hardware on a medium/light cabinet but I also don't want trendy bronze that will also go out of style. So I will probably go with some combo of chrome/polished nickel and brushed nickel so at least it's all the same color. This isn't a high end remodel, just a minor update of a small guest bathroom that isn't used that often. It all started with ancient wallpaper removal and then I decided to replace the cheap, ugly vanity and medicine cabinet and then the hanging brass light fixture had to go. On and the door that swings out into the hall will be changed to swing into the bathroom. What were they thinking.........See MorePolished chrome vs polished nickel
Comments (52)My master bathroom has white cabinets , Carrara marble floors and counters all fixtures are polished nickel …i think they are a little ore upkeep than the chrome, but love the color. I need to change out my shower head…any opinions on using a chrome or satin nickel shower head even though the shower trim is polished nickel? I never wipe off my showerhead except when i clean the bathroom…lol...See Morepolished nickel or brass kitchen hardware
Comments (8)Our house is 'traditional'. I used polished brass hardware throughout, including kitchen pulls and knobs. They still look great 20 years on, as do the Baldwin Edinburgh lifetime brass door levers (interior and exterior). All floors are dark hardwood, including kitchen. Cabinets are cream; green granite counters....See MoreChampagne bronze with unlacquered brass?
Comments (10)Two years ago I installed a Delta champagne bronze faucet with unlacquered brass hardware. I love the combo. Yes, you can tell the difference between the two. That kind of things usually bothers me, but in this case it doesn't. I'll upload pics once I do my dishes!...See Morehoussaon
