Mixing metals in bathroom

Debra Stalnaker

last year

We are remodeling our master bathroom. I bought delta brilliance stainless for all the fixtures. Since we couldn't get brilliance stainless for the metal enclosed glass shower doors we ordered brushed nickel. So my main question is how will it look to have delta brilliance stainless for the shower system ( shower head, shower wand and sliding bar, etc.) and Delta brushed nickel(warm color) for the glass doors enclosure. Since the following items do not come in Brilliance stainless (lights, doorknobs, and cabinet pulls)these may be brushed nickel too. Your thoughts?

It will look fine. Here are some photos of my shower; the first was taken @ night & the second in the morning with only natural light. The shower fixtures are Delta brilliance stainless but the shower door handle is brushed nickel from the glass company that made the shower enclosure. Cabinet door pulls (not shown) are brushed nickel from Top Knobs & they all look good together. As you can see in the photos, even the Delta fixtures can look a bit different in tone from each other depending on how the light hits them, so I bet you'll never notice the difference.

I also threw in some bright brass towel hooks, a vanity light with a bit of gold, and some gold-framed art to keep it from looking too sterile (third photo).

Spammie thanks so much for your ideas. It makes me feel better about having the two metals together.

I would also go with the golden finishes. Maybe later you can find a gold shower fixture. I hear gold is coming back in style. So you should be able to find one. When I moved into my house 3 years ago I had a heck of a time finding a gold tube thingy that the toilet paper hangs on. Sorry don't know what you call it. Everything was chrome.

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...

Who would ever notice? Not me. I have chrome and brushed nickel in the same bathroom and never worried about it. What you’re doing is no weirder than using two different colors of paint in your house. I know it’s your first house and you’re probably worried about every little decision. However, allow yourself to move on to stuff that really matters; this is a non-issue.

Your “linked” mirror would work nicely. You will never match metals unless you buy from one manufacturer so that’s unlikely. These golds are challenging to work with but they look great!!
