Chrome is so traditional nobody will bat an eye at it. If you think it'll bother you, try to find something matching, but it's socially acceptable to go with the normal one. =) Anyway the standard finish ones do look perfectly at home in brushed stainless sinks.

Flyleft, No, nothing helps w/ the stink! Ah, the mystery behind my handle...Actually, in my household, "Stinky" is a term of endearment! When the cat is being particularly full of her self she's "stinky." When my husband does something annoying, the nice way of telling him so is to say, "That was stinky behavior!" Don't know how it caught on, but in good times & bad, we're all just stinky! There you have it...mystery revealed. Ironically, no one on the planet could be more into things smelling nice than I am! Potpurri for the house, home fragrance spray for the house, cleaners selected for their fragrance as well as cleaning abilities. Love fragrant bath gels, body sprays, scented candles...minty toothpaste, mouthwash & always have Listerine breath strips w/me! Have a vase full of eucalyptus in downstairs powder room so it always smells fresh. I'm a clean freak & part of my motivation is to keep things smelling nice. SO, in the conventional sense, am probably one of the best smelling people around...but if you ask my husband (& cat)...they'll tell you.. I'm very, very stinky!

Hi luvmyhouse I have them. I have had this sink for 2 months now. I wasn't sure if I NEEDED to have the matching sink basket and waste stopper, as I think they are pricey...but I went ahead and got them, along with the sink grids. I guess they look better, because they blend in with the sink. They are a very nice quality, and do not scratch the sink. Are they a "must have"? No...but then again I don't know what the alternative would look like. Here's the best shot I have of my sink...It's a Blanco. KA:)

I always thought all the metal finish in the kitchen have to match but it turned out fine when I mixed them! I always like everything matchy matchy. But not in this case. I have all ss appliances (fridge, hood, dw, ovens, and thin ss trim on my cooktop), my knobs/pulls, peninsula pendants are polished nickel and the faucet/instant hot/disposal buttons are chrome. I guess since those items are not close to each other makes them fine!
