Mixing Metals

No longer taboo, mixing metal finishes is a great way to express yourself and coordinate a wider range of decor. Here are a few tips for doing it right.

Icy Hot: Blend

Compelling opposition is at the heart of mixing metals. Each finish should act as a complement to the other, highlighting its unique characteristics through contrast. So the sleek moodiness of Matte Black calls attention to the textural warmth of Vibrant® Brushed Moderne Brass—and vice versa.

A two-tone faucet adds clear intentionality to the mixed metals approach.

Mixing metals often works best if you choose one finish for most of the room and use the other finish in a supporting role.

Create a Foundation

Using a single object with both finishes, such as a two-tone faucet, establishes the foundation for the use of both metals in the space. Then, all other instances—cabinet hardware, towel bars, etc.—refer back to that for their visual cohesiveness.
