mixed finishes on metals?
Comments (2)Are you talking satin nickel or polished nickel? If polished, not sure I see that combo. If satin nickel, then it's not that far from antique pewter. What are your doorknobs/hinges and other house hardware? If ORB then you're good to go. I love these colonial bronze hardware, as I purchased knobs in a combo of 2 finishes (you can choose the 2 finishes from every available finish!). That's just a suggestion. I'm not a huge fan of ORB hardware on dark cabinets personally. I think with your dark cabinets, ORB pendants would be great. I just would love to see some ORB on the periphery somewhere. Can you post some pictures?...See Moremixed metals quandry for kitchen fixtures
Comments (6)ORB light fixtures will play nice with the other colors in the room and tie back into the Cherry wood, black on the stainless steel appliances and granite. Plus they are up by the ceiling so not close to the silver toned hardware. They will definitely work and you will avoid matchy-matchy which is more interesting. They will not look out of place....See MoreMixing metal finishes in bathroom...?
Comments (1)we chose chrome faucets and towel bars & hooks. The door hardware is ORB, as are the knobs on the doors and drawers of the built ins. I need to choose a light fixture for the center of the room; I intend to choose ORB or similar. Here is the vanity view....See MoreMixing Metal Finishes
Comments (10)I had too much wine? you lost me! Antique brass in the kitchen is fine with stainless anything and every thing, I'd match the luster on the brass. .I would not add a third finish in the kitchen. If you want polished nickel in the kitchen? Eliminate brass totally in the kitchen and stick to stainless as your second metal. As to you can do "whatever you want"? O course you can! But you can choose to be miserable too : ) In other words....... two metals. In whatever place. Not three...See Morelikestonehomes
