Personally, if I saw a door handle one finish on one side and another on the other side, I'd find that strange. Door handles should match each other in the house (or so I thought), not the finish in each room. It will be much more noticeable that you have a two toned door knob than the fact that the door handle doesn't match the other metals in the bathroom. People do not normally notice what door handles match the interior of the room they are in. At least I never have. Unless you think the people who visit you would actually think a two toned handle is appropriate, I wouldn't try that trick. What do the interior door knobs in the rest of your house look like? Also, remember, too much matchy matchy is boring and not noticed but instead blends all together. If you change to a two tone knob then which one should the hinges match? See my point? One thing can lead to another and before you know it you're stressed to a frazzle and for what, a door knob? I'll show you my grays hairs to prove my point. LOL My guest bath hardware is in an antique bronze, almost black finish, yet the door knobs that are in that room and throughout the house are crystal with brushed nickle back plates. Do you think anyone is going to look at my crystal door knobs and think, oh she should have put in antique bronze? Of course not. As long as your selections are stylish, the metal color is not the breaking deal on a bathroom door. Forgot to mention the handles on the antique dresser in my guest bath are antique brass, a third finish in that tiny room. Yet, it all is very beautiful. You have to trust your heart and your eyes sometime and not just think everything has to match exactly, because it does not. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

I have white cabs and the doors have black knobs, but the drawers have the vintage-looking reach-under type handle, in black also. I can't think what they're called, but usually referred to as vintage. You should go over to the 'Gallery' and check out the cabs with handles/knobs.

ILoveRed, unfortunately it seems to have been an oversight by our architect. We approved the doors before the bidding process for our project began. Given that it's our first house and we didn't know in advance which widow & door company our builder was going to go with, hence we didn't know about the automatic selection of the door handles we are now having issues with. I think I have come to the conclusion based on other feedback I have received that we are just going to go with the Antique brass handles everywhere, since they will be a better match for the colour if the stain we are going to use on the doors so that there is a good flow through the house and I'll have to do more work to find how I can make all the missing pieces line up together in the same colour going forward. Thanks for the feedback guys!

It all depends on the look you’re going for. I love the look of matte black hardware with cooler tones of wood. There’s no need for doorknobs to match faucets, they can be different.
