I'm not a fan of mixing metals, but I'm only a DIYer not a pro at all, so coordinating lighting in an open plan concept would be a definite yes for me. We had a great fan but brown colored blades and changed the whole thing to stainless steel/chrome to match with the kitchen pulls and lighting. Many here will give great advice when you show photos/plans (as it is new construction)

I have gold in my master bathroom but the rest of my house is all brushed nickle. I am not sure what the rule is. In my previous home everything was brushed nickle but in this newer home I have a coffee table in my family room that is white marble and brass. But the rest of the hardware is brushed nickle. I would love to find the secret to mixing metals... The rule of no mixing has changed, but I am not sure how to make it work. People are mixing all the time. Here is a great web site that talks about this and maybe it can help you.

Now, I need to go re-read these very articles so I can think hard about my pendants and maybe a bit of gold could work.

That really depends on the style of your home and the theme you are going for, but if you already decided on one oil rubbed bronze one I would match that and keep the theme of the home consistent throughout each room.

Mixing metals in the same space is pretty popular right now and can be done really well. If you post pictures of the fixtures and the space, we could help you make it work.
