Kitchen fixtures, knobs/pulls- ORB, brushed nickel or mix?

11 years ago

I need help with selecting my kitchen fixtures. We have a U-shaped kitchen with perimeter cabinets cream-colored and a dark wood island. The counters will be LG Viatera quartz in Aria (link below). I need help figuring out fixture materials. Throughout the house, my lights (for the most part) are bronze. The kitchen will have two pendant lights over the island (bronze) and the adjacent breakfast nook with a bronze chandelier. I will have two sinks- an apron-front cast iron sink, and a stainless prep sink in the far corner, away from the apron front sink. All appliances will be stainless.

I need help choosing my faucets and knobs/pulls. Given that all of my light fixtures are bronze, should I do an oil-rubbed bronze for the knobs/pulls? Originally, I thought about using knobs/pulls in gunmetal black as I like the contrast with the cream-colored cabinets and pulls out the black in the Aria quartz- but given that the light fixtures are bronze anyway, I thought maybe I should just do oil-rubbed bronze.


Then, I have to decide about the faucets-- the main faucet over the large apron front sink could be oil-rubbed bronze- but then should I do the same for the corner prep sink? Or should I just do both in brushed nickel?


Meanwhile, the door levers throughout the house are brushed nickel. The bathroom faucets are also brushed nickel. I didn't want to commit to ORB everywhere in the house. I worry this is a trend that may die out- plus, I'm not particularly crazy about ORB everywhere.


I would appreciate any advice whether it is okay to mix and match throughout the house and recommendations of what would look okay.
