This was my very dilemma this week. Now I have ammunition to convince my husband I can mix them 😉 Thank you! Reply
would you say chrome and brass is a definite no-no? I was planning to use both, but am now reconsidering. Reply
Hi,Thank you so much for sharing these tips, we are building a home and I was so stuck on this.Questions:Is SM offering edesign again?In the #SMmodernmountain home kitchen what is the finish of the sink faucet and hood?Thank you ? Reply
Love this post!! I couldn’t agree more. I always tell clients that it’s easier to mix bronze/steel with silver and brass since mixing brass and silver can clash easily. It just needs to be done the right way. Thanks for sharing 🙂 Reply
My question is door knobs! If black dominate the ceiling fixtures, should the doorknobs be black too? Or is it a good opportunity to add a new metal on a different plane? Reply
Thank you!! I am currently doing my boys bath with navy cabinets. Their faucet is chrome. I like the idea of adding some natural brass in there, but it sounds like I might be better to just stick with all chrome? It’s too late for me to switch the chrome to polished nickel. Love your work!!!!!!! Reply
I’m eager to mix brass and black in my new kuchen but am so torn about the different brass finishes. There’s antique brass, raw brass, aged brass, etc. It’s so confusing! Would these multiple brass finishes blend well or clash? Reply
Always love reading your blog, and appreciate your design generosity! Is it ok to mix metals for different rooms? EX: Kitchen is all chrome, but Half bath is brass? Remodeling our 1960s home finally, and keep telling my husband the whole house does not have to have the same finishes everywhere. Thanks again! Reply
Hi, this is a brilliant post. Would you recommend keeping the same metal on all interior doors throughout a house? We have a split level home and are mixing satin Brass and satin nickel. thank you! Laura Reply

What about shower hardware? I am using champagne bronze for shower head and it’s components but my drain match is brushed nickel. Can I do the shower hinges/handle/header in brushed nickel? I was going to use champagne bronze for faucet, towel bars , toliet paper holder , drawer pulls. Door knobs and window latch brushed nickel. Undecided on finish for vanity lights. Using a warm wood vanity. Appreciate your comments. Reply
We are updating our kitchen. We have polished brass hardware on our cupboards. Will a polished nickel faucet work with a copper sink? Reply
Just here to say THANK YOU for all your tips. Seriously every design dilemna or question I have, I come straight to the blog! Really appreciate all the time and effort you put into sharing with us. Reply
These are great tips … we are working on house plans and would like to iceoporate black and nickel in the house. You have any thoughts on nickel and galvanized nickel? Reply
These blogs are so helpful! What are your thoughts on mixing metals throughout the house? For example, we have a black front door. I’d love to have a beautiful gold light fixture in the entry, but I’m nervous that it will clash with the black dining room and study light fixtures we planned to use. Should we stick to the same metal statement light fixtures in corresponding areas throughout the house? Reply
