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 personally like dark door knobs and hinges: black or Venetian bronze. We just moved into our new build and went with Venetian bronze. There are a wide variety of finishes in our new home. Cabinet pulls/knobs and door hardware are all v. bronze. Fans are a brownish bronze finish. All faucets and bath lighting are brushed nickel. Entry and exterior lights are black. Kitchen island pendants, chrome and dining chandelier is antique brushed silver with copper accents. It all works great together, and I spent way too long agonizing over the never ending choices!

Should your door handles and hardware match or just coordinate with other fixtures (chandeliers, railings, etc).

We have initially chosen level door handles and hinges all throughout our house. The finish we chose was Antique Nickel (https://www.kwikset.com/products/levers/mechanical-levers?finish=antique-nickel), but nothing has been ordered yet. My husband does not want rubbed bronze or anything dark like we had in our last house. I conceded, but instead of putting brushed nickel everywhere, I thought I would go off the beaten path and choose Antique Nickel. The problem is that I haven't been able to see it in person anywhere, yet. My question is this: Will it look bad to have antique nickel on all door handles and hinges, but maybe have a chrome or brushed nickel faucet in the kitchen. Also, I am not a big fan of brushed nickel, so can my kitchen cabinet handles and pulls be dark if I want. Do the handles have to match the faucet color? For reference, our outer cabs (both upper and lower) are chalk white. The island is called Ballard Blue (By Designers Choice cabinets). Cabinets are farm house style. I guess I need to know the do's and don'ts of fixture colors throughout the house. Can I do something entire different (darker) for bathroom fixtures, even if the knobs and hinges are lighter?
