We have dark cherry stained doors throughout our house and have ORB hardware(Including french doors to our library/office) and it looks good. Our front door is stained even darker and the hardware almost blends in with the door. Our trim is a similar white to yours(SW princeton white). I wouldn't worry about the hardware matching the hardware on the furniture.

Thank you sprtphntc...gorgeous color cabinets-kitchen. In your 1st photo,(upclose) the hardware looks totally pewter or matt silver though not ORB...Can you explain...As I need rich very dark (but not black)ORB matte real iron/metal. I initially though matte black to go with our handmade black custom potrack, wroight iron stair wells etc..and not be matchy matchy with hardware but the black didn't look good with my sample wood and so I'll have no contrast but go with dark ORB. LOVE the look. I am so thankful I found this page/thread..Apparently I'm not doing what is the trend but I go with what I love which tends to be timeless IMHO, traditional with rustic leanings.

That's so pretty! Rustic and orb is far and few between around here. We just finished (except for tweaking those final touches) my husband's bathroom in a rustic manly palette. ORB is certainly going to take more up keep than brushed nickel. For his sink, he has a Tapmaster and that helps tremendously with keeping the faucet clean. It's hands free water. No electricity or batteries or special faucets. It's all operated with a foot pedal and water pressure. The foot pedal is on the toekick. Here is the Delta Addison vanity faucet (Venetian Bronze). I used the Delta Linden In2ition tub spout and 2 in 1 shower and handheld. Verdict is still out on that. Water comes out all wonky and pressure isn't what it used to be. They're sending another tub diverter. Hope that's the answer. I have a Delta Venetian Bronze kitchen faucet too. LOVE it. Tapmaster on that sink as well so grubby/nasty hands on the faucet isn't a problem. Towel ring, tp holder and robe hook have a rope design. The vanity pulls are a little darker, almost black and have a Texas star as the pull. Finally found a stinkin' train rack that I could afford! Geez, those things are spendy :o And I think I even like it better than most of the more expensive ones. It's substantial and plain. I've got enough going on in that bath that I don't need it to be "fancy". We too did a porcelain wood plank. LOVE it! So far, no one has known it was tile :) I'm sure you'd want something "prettier" in your lovely bathroom but I thought I'd show you the train rack. It's 23.6" wide.

Rubber oil bronze is a bit more traditional (with hints of real metal coming through) while flat black is more contemporary. Either could look striking given the description of dark oak and black countrrtops it really becomes a preference. The key decision in my mind would be, what are the switches and light fixtures (in that particular room specifically) ? if your house has an open floorplan its also OK to do "zone" design meaning whats in the kitchen can have a contrasted finish from the livingroom. a side note if going with lots of dark both in fixtures and cabinets (and/or appliances and sink) be sure to bring in light for contrast, either with lots of daylight (windows), flooring, upholstery or in the adjacent space so the eye can flow or pop. Having multiple shades and texture of the same family can be beautiful but too mucb of a good thing can make it overwhelming. best of luck.
