If my bathroom fixtures are polished CHROME, do I have to stick with pol.bronze light'g fixtures or can I mix

Question

Thank you for your answers, but sorry - I messed up! I meant to say that my faucets, etc. are polished CHROME!! But I'm not liking many of the Polished Chrome lighting fixtures, so I was hoping I had another option?

Answer 1

You can do whatever you want. It's your bathroom. I personally don't like mismatching things, but I have a little bit of OCD too-which doesn't help.

I would go with something that has some of the same tones then in your bathroom. White usually looks good with chrome.

Answer 2

Brushed nickle works well with chrome. I have chrome bath fixtures, but opted for the antique bronze lights. Figured over time I could change out the cheapie chrome stuff. I don't even pay attention to the fact that they are different and things like that usually stick out like a sore thumb to me. I have shiney brass door knobs in the house, too. And, somehow it all works.

Answer 3

My house is and has always been different fixtures and faucet finishes. Unless you are obsessive compulsive, get the lighting fixture you like. If you want to stay close to chrome, maybe you would like the brushed nickel finish.

Answer 4

Yes you can mix....there are even faucets that are both chrome and brass, but I would tone down the brass by doing the bronze or even a nickel.

Answer 5

Depends on how far away the fixtures are from the faucets. I'd do it if they didn't clash by being too close together.

Answer 6

you can do a satin chrome
or polished nickel

i dont think i'd go with the pol. bronze though unless you had some other dark colors like dark wood vanity or moldings


B.

Answer 7

if you like the way it looks, go ahead. don't use chrome polish on anything other than chrome, i'll say that. it tarnishes badly if it's not chrome.

Answer 8

Only a woman should be asking such a hanus question! DOLT!
