Is it ok to use rustic or bronze light fixtures if I have silver hardware?

Question

I want the room to seem open and large so I need to choose a lighter wall paint but I love the elegance of the rustic fixtures, my problem is that I just replaced all of the cabinet hardware in the kit/bath with new brushed nickel knobs, can I hang the rustic/bronzed fixtures in the den, dr, breakfast nook? Also what color of paint would work with these fixtures but still keep the rooms looking large?

Answer 1

It would look best with the brushed nickel since you just replaced the hardware. I don't know how much it really matters, it is your house and you can do what you want. As for colors I would think that something in the warm colors would be nice.
