Mixing Oil Rubbed Bronze hardware with Polished Chrome faucet?
So I really want these bin pulls from Rejuvenation (there are also very similar ones at Lee Valley that I might end up getting since they are half the price). I want to add these to all drawers in my kitchen, and mushroom knobs on all doors in the same finish. Cabinets are shaker with a small molding on the inside, painted BM Cloud White. Countertops will most likely be Caesarstone Frosty Carrina (but for now, we are getting Formatop Calcutta installed by the builder).
We chose this potfiller.
And I want to put in this faucet.
I'm wondering if it will look weird to have the mix of metals, or if I should change my faucet and potfiller to be Oil Rubbed Bronze as well. I'm not really a fan of matchy matchy usually, butI don't want it to look off. I want a country kitchen look and feel, warm and inviting. Will probably end up doing beadboard on the backsplash painted out in the same Cloud White as the cabinets, except for behind the range where we will most likely do a warm white subway tile.

Comments (21)I selected ORB for my kitchen, and as it turned out I got a cheapy orb for the handles and they do not show ANY kind of wear at all. I have had them in place for about 2 years(or is it 3?( and I am still enjoying them. I should stress that we are not gentle people and we do not baby things in the house:)so that is saying that it is most durable. I like the warmth of the look. I agree that the hardware is relatively inexpensive to replace - but I also don't see them looking dated anytime too soon. Things do definitely go in cycles as we have all noted that brass is kind of coming back in. I wholeheartedly encourage you to get what you like, and you will really enjoy it....See MoreCan I mix rubbed bronze finish light fixture with chrome faucet?
Comments (4)A quick search on Houzz will show lots of pictures with mixed finishes. The first two below have ORB light fixtures and chrome/brushed nickel plumbing fixtures and cabinet hardware. The last picture has chrome plumbing fixtures and ORB light fixtures and cabinet hardware. IMO all these combinations look good. I am typically a "matchy/matchy" person but wanted chrome plumbing fixtures in my house and prefer ORB light fixtures to chrome light fixtures for some reason. So I have spent hours looking at pictures with mixed finishes and reading design blogs/home building forums and have come to the conclusion that there are no "rules" on this and it is really a matter of personal taste....See MoreChrome Vintage Stove - Mixed Metal Cabinet Hardware/ Faucet?
Comments (8)Hi Patricia, Thank you for the feedback! Maybe contemporary is not the right word? I'll edit my post. I basically like the look in the kitchen inspiration photos. I know this sounds crazy, but I kind of hate chrome...outside of my chrome oven of course. Do you have any other finish/ hardware suggestions that would go with a black and white/wood kitchen?...See MoreMelissa Silva
