Mixing 'metals', doorknobs, bathroom hardware, etc!
Comments (3)I don't think so at all - you could definitely go with chrome in the bathroom. One resource I've used to see what may be considered 'acceptable' is the Houzz website. They've got thousands of remodel pictures, most of which were done by designers/architects - I have noticed that there are a lot of high end homes with ORB door knobs, but chrome in the bathrooms. Lots of postings also have pictures for other rooms, so you can see how they've carried out whole house remodels and what finishes they used throughout. Hope that helps - just my opinion! Here is a link that might be useful: Houzz website...See MoreMixing Metals in the Bathroom

Comments (19)I think consistency is important, especially in a small space. If most of the finishes are chrome (what's your hardware on the vanity, by the way?), by installing a light or lights that are ORB, you are drawing attention to them and you might want to think about that. Seems like from what I've seen on the shows where people are fixing up to sell, keeping things neutral is a good way to go. And just because you can see the two lights from the LR, doesn't mean they should match; the lav and the LR are very distinct spaces, after all. If you feel its too cold in there with all chrome, perhaps warm up the space with a nice pop of color in your hand towel, mat on the floor if you are so inclined, or other small accessory. Good luck!...See MoreMixing metal types in bathroom
Comments (76)I love the lighting. the shower curtain was in one color but of course it’s hard to know if a fabric color online will be the same. the seatch does come in the lighter color you saw, Design Interior South, but it looks so washed out. mom wondering if it was a bad sample and I thought of calling them ...the shower curtain isn’t the best for the spot and I haven’t used it so I may pack it up and send it back. I had just hung it for photos. Plus the linen material isn’t practical for that bathroom .. but the style is so cute. no I did not price that out yet but plan to.!!! i like your taste Design Intetior South!! Thank you Home Chef!! I am going to try that product....I had tried baking soda (my fave “go to”!)but it didn’t work......See MoreSina Sadeddin Architectural Design
