Kohler Brushed Chrome or Brushed Nickel
Comments (6)i saw very little brushed chrome when i was looking at fixtures... i remember thinking that the brushed chrome had 'odd undertones', if you will...faintly icy blue. i noticed brushed nickel finishes differed from manufacturer to manufacturer, and that i liked some more than others... overall tho, there is alot more brushed nickel available to choose from if you want to 'match' lighting and accessories, etc......See MoreFaucet for bathroom - chrome vs brushed nickel
Comments (14)Well believe or not the fixtures are so $$$ in the brushed Nickle I was shocked. I have oil rub bronze in my perm home With no problems of spots. And I honestly was going for the brushed nickle and somehow this chrome has got my eye since it will have a coastal setting. So I guess I thought I will try the chrome . While I'm crossing my fingers and toes :) faucets / showers have really gone up in price. Those remodeling shows are killing us ! well I picked Kohler Bancroft K-T10577-4-CP. faucet. And K-T10581-4-CP shower head/ tub faucet for one bathroom anyway. I went to take a look at it in person and I really loved it for this bathroom. Master bath. Used Subway tiles in there 4x12. Staggered In between I put a decorative band of 4 x12 black white gray and some white sparkle glass tiles , Thrown in around the tub/ shower area. And around the mirror so I'm hope these chrome figures give some bling. We are on the water. But not ocean. I wish !!!!!!!! Thank you for all the imput truly appreciate it...See MoreChrome or Brushed Nickel w/ using countertop?
Comments (14)I think brushed nickel looks common unless the hardware design makes a statement. That gorgeous countertop deserves something grand and out of the ordinary. Have you thought about a darker metal? Cast iron/cast iron look would be an unexpected contrast depending on your style. You could even away with matt gold. Polished nickel - my personal favorite - would look rich and elegant. If you're worried about a shiny finish competing with your collective elements you could choose a simple hardware design. I would play with some hardware samples of different styles and finishes and see what appeals the most to you. The samples you've shown in the photo give you a lot of options....See Moremixing polished nickel, chrome and brushed nickel?
Comments (5)The idea that all metal finishes in your house need to match is extremely dated and when it’s done tends to look a little pedestrian. You don’t pick one fabric and insist it be used everywhere, same with flooring and wall colors. A good rule of thumb is if you can touch the two at the same time then maybe they should be the same, but if you can’t then they don’t have to be. And of course, there are exceptions to every rule except the rule that there are no absolute rules in decorating....See Moreenduring
