I'm afraid I can't help you much with your mixed metals conundrum -- just get the one you like most?

but this post needs a WARNING for all those reading it first thing in the morning while drinking coffee for this bit: "I CANNOT do lever handles because my Rottweiler can easily open those and it freaks guests out to find him sitting next to the bed staring at them. "

(cleans off monitor)

would you consider all black throughout?

JTerriLynn got me, and my monitor, too! LOL What a visual treat!

My guests are told to keep their door closed for a similar reason. Harry has not learned to open the lever-handled doors, yet, but if a door is not tightly shut, he noses his way in - and jumps in bed with them.

I've heard it's a bit surprising for the uninitiated to find a 75-lb. beastie boy stretched out on his back, long legs dangling in the air, floppy ears and lips twitching with his light snores sharing their pillow!

Most of our over-night guests are DH's hunting buddies; they don't seem to mind. The ones that do mind remember to click the door shut. Then Harry stays where he's supposed to be, snoring between DH and me!

I have round satin nickel knobs in my house and a few bronze light fixtures, some silver kitchen hardware and black knobs on the living room cabinetry. I would say my home is traditional/contemporary style. I think mixing metals is just fine but I agree all doors should match in color of hardware. I have a mix of round knobs and levers but they are all satin nickel. Are your brass hinges changing also? The satin nickel is more toned down than the stainless color. The round style here is simple and readily available in different brands. All my faucets are stainless or chrome.

Love that your dog likes to surprise house guest! too funny...

satin chrome shown here has a much brighter appearance. The Stain nickel is more of a toned down silver IMHO

I would go with black or Oil rubbed bronze. Pewter reminds me of a mix of brass and satin nickel

We faced a similar situation with our house (coincidentally also in Florida). It was built in the '70s and had various "upgrades" over the years resulting in a hodgepodge of metal finishes throughout. Mind you, I am a-ok with mixing metals (I actually prefer it to everything matching), but it needs to look cohesive.

We ultimately went with satin nickel knobs everywhere. My other options were bronze, but I don't care for the "rubbed" aspect with copper-colored bits showing through (which most seem to have to some extent), or matte black, but I couldn't find an affordable option I liked. So nickel it was.

I honestly think any finish would work so long as it's the same on all interior knobs. When all knobs are the same finish, they don't jump out at you so much. (Note: our bathroom fixtures are all chrome, most of our lighting fixtures in the house are dark bronze, and they all play together nicely.)

Thank you all!
Here is the reason behind the no levers. He thinks he is so handsome and charming that everyone should love him. If they are leery or frightened at all he is relentless with his mission to make them love him. HeâÂÂll stare at you all night hoping he can wear you down and youâÂÂll give in and pet him. If that doesnâÂÂt work he will follow you around all day looking needy.

Now back to the door knob dilemmaâ¦
Yaya & Aktillery say black and Rtw and Bowbat say nickel. So how about this idea or something close, itâÂÂs antiqued nickel.
Yes or nooooo?
