Does Venetian bronze and oiled rubbed bronze go together?

12 years ago

I was wonder how venetian bronze and oiled rubbed bronze go together? Most of my fixtures will be venetian bronze but I'm having hard time finding some stuff like lighting stuff which is oiled rubbed bronze mostly. Just wondering if it would clash or what.

I would say for the most part yes but it does depend on the manufactures choices. If it's not next to each other I think it will be fine.

I think it would be fine... having the same finish on everything is too matchy-matchy in my opinion! I like mixing ORB and antique gold/brass, I have it my dining room.

Matchy matchy is bad. Having things be in the same color family but different colors is good. You might also look at plain living brass as well. Brass is back in a huge way and you are seeing less and less of the dark bronze look. Adding in a piece or two of brass with the bronze can give you an updated "evolved over time" look.

We have both in our half bath and they look good.
