Design Dilemma Kitchens

Stainless or oil rubbed bronze

8 years ago

I'm having a hard time deciding between a stainless kitchen pull down faucet or an oil rubbed bronze one. The double sink is stainless. The cupboard hardware is oil rubbed bronze. The appliances are black stainless. Any opinions or pictures would be very welcome. Thanks

oil rubbed bronze will play nicely off the hardware

One other consideration. I have ORB faucets in my master bath. They are beautiful, however, they have to be wiped down after every use or they get spotty. I also have to be more careful with cleaning chemicals and cleanser products. They can be scratched. My faucets are Moen brand and I have hard water as well. I do not know if all ORB finishes are as delicate as mine, but it is something to check out before you consider purchasing them.
