Can I mix chrome and polished nickel?
Comments (35)I don't know that I mind that combination: all chrome and nickel sconces. Maybe do a mock-up? Can you order the sconces and have a chrome back-up plan? I planned on using all chrome and had installed a chrome shower/tub fixtures. Then I picked scones in antique nickel, so even though I had chrome in the shower, I decided to do polished nickel everywhere else. Well none of the nickel finishes match either, the sconces are "antique" and the faucet is noticeably warmer tone than the cabinet hardware and towel ring. I'm really happy with the look! But if I did it over, I probably would have just had the sconces in nickel and kept chrome everywhere else. I think my fear of the chrome fixtures mismatching the nickel sconces was unfounded. Chrome would have been cheaper and easier to pick a towel hook, TP holder, etc. Here's a pic of the vanity area. The chrome isn't in this view, but the mismatched nickels are. I think your choice is a bit riskier but I wouldn't discount the option off hand....See MoreChrome faucet with polished nickel sconce?
Comments (10)Conn123, thanks for the link. This is actually the one I am considering: I will have a cut glass/crystal chandelier in the room too. i was excited to see that this one is on sale too on Macys. They do accept returns at the store--which is GREAT! I do wonder, though, if that is worth the $25 in shipping! I can get free shipping elsewhere. And, there is $47 of taxes on Macy's. I don't know that other internet sites charge tax (I think you are supposed to pay it yourself on your income tax forms, though, right?). Anyway, how do people feel about this sconce?...See Morepolished stainless/polished nickel w/ polished chrome?
Comments (6)Thanks for the responses. We had always planned for this bathroom to be just a guest room bath until sometime in the far future we would need an accessible bathroom. So, in the interest of saving money at the time we didn't add the grab bars. Unfortunately, I had a too enthusiastic Memorial Day weekend which resulted in a broken foot bone. Now that I need to use this bathroom we're going to add the grab bars as soon as possible. My recommendation for anyone else doing an accessible bathroom is to do it all at the same time. You never know when you're going to need it or whether you'll be able to match the fittings when you do. Thanks again for the help....See MorePolished chrome and polished nickel fixtures in same kitchen?
Comments (11)My very expensive polished nickel Brizo Virage bath faucet is absolutely beautiful and doesn't match any of the other polished nickel fixtures I bought! I'm going crazy. Why oh why didn't I hold them up together in the bathroom before I had them installed? I replaced two-tone accessories and now I have gold again! The faucet looks gold and everything else looks like chrome. I can't find a soap dispenser or fingertip towel holder to match! Every manufacturer's polished nickel is a different color...My Amerock Markham towel bars and tissue holder are beautiful, but look more like chrome. Now what? If you want everything to match and not show every fingerprint and waterspot, stick with chrome....See Moreartemis78
