• One of the biggest trends in home design is mixed
  metallic finishes in kitchens or bathrooms. This
  new look started a few years ago as satin brass
  and brighter gold hues started popping up as
  choices for hardware, faucets, and lighting. Some
  were hesitant to embrace these colors since they
  could easily transport your home to the late
  1980s- early 1990s shiny brass era. When used
  strategically, however, mixed metal tones can
  give your home more character, more texture, and
  more visual interest.

• If you want to try mixing metals in your home,
  your hardware is a great place to start. In your
  kitchen you can easily swap out drawer and door
  hardware that matches your faucet and lighting to
  give the space a more custom look. If you are
  seeking a modern farmhouse feel, consider
  changing shiny chrome pulls for matte black
  handles. To give your home a more contemporary
  look, change out brushed nickel hardware for a
  sleek brushed gold. If you are looking for a
  traditional look, consider warmer antique bronze
  pulls. You can also choose to accent a built-in
  furniture piece by changing its hardware for a
  unique look. Appliances can also be part of this
  trend. Many manufacturers offer different metal
  finishes for their handles so your stainless
  fridge or wall oven can shine with copper or
  brass door handles.

Plumbing fixtures are another place you can try
this trend. Think of the metal color as an accent
color and try to use it in at least three places
in the room to create visual balance. Maybe give
your bathroom a richer, warmer look by adding
bronze faucets, some bronze artwork, and a bronze
frame on your mirror. MirrorMate Frames Chelsea
Brushed Bronze and Venetian Bronze Wave look
great mixed with silver faucets and hardware.
Their Pemaquid Old World Silver is a popular
choice because it has warmer undertones that work
with other metal colors as well. If you want to
embrace the gold trend, MirrorMate Frames
Broadway Brushed Gold is an elegant choice.

• Dont limit mixing metals to your faucets and
  hardware. Another place to add some interest is
  by adding light fixtures in metallic tones that
  contrast with your door hardware and other metal
  architectural elements. A chandelier in a
  stunning gold is a surprise in a bathroom that
  features all silver accents. Kitchen island
  pendants in a matte black finish can make a
  statement in an otherwise boring matchy-matchy
  space. Adding powder room sconces in a bright
  chrome can perk up a space with all brushed
  nickel hardware. The next time you are
  redesigning your space, remember you do not need
  to make all your metal finishes match. Sometimes
  mixing them up makes your space more unique!
