Hardware...can round and square coexist?

15 years ago

I have a very linear bathroom and planned for square/rectangle fixtures and hardware but somehow most things are round. All metal surfaces are chrome so it has that going for it. After drooling over 4 $858 sconces from Waterworks we ended up with 3 single sconces with white opal etched glass @ $109ea. http://tinyurl.com/3c6b2wt The hardware is round. I am happy with them and they look great. 100w and they are on a dimmer.

Between those sconces I will mount 2 mirrors with the CRL round hardware. http://tinyurl.com/6kkcpsg

My shelf mounting brackets are square, my vanity hardware is 1" square, faucets are round and all the bling is chrome. My bathroom is very linear, 12x24 tiles mounted horizontally on 3 walls and same 12x24 on floor, with pebble tile in the shower.

All hardware was to be square or rectangle but the sconces threw the whole thing off and now

Should I go with round or square for my extension mirror hardware? Vanity accessories?

Personally, I think the sconces still have a square aspect to them since the glass cylinders look rectangular when viewed straight on. And the metal piece connecting the glass to the circle which attaches to the wall, is rectangular. I think you should embrace the mixture of round and square and continue to mix it up.

Thank you so much for checking the links and noticing the details! I just needed some confidence and will continue with buying accessories in round and square.

I'm in the same position - going for an angular, modern look, but running across a lot of circles & ovals! I agree that the sconces are tall enough to give a somewhat angular feeling. And more importantly, I don't think it's necessary to have every single thing square or rectangular to make your decorating point.

Cheers!
