Chrome or Stainless kitchen faucet with "gold" cabinet hardware?

4 years ago

I am remodeling with white cabinets, marble-look quartz countertop, SS appliances and gold (brass) cabinet handles. Should I go with a shiny chrome or more subdued stainless steel faucet? Sink is stainless. I like the shininess of chrome, but I'm worried it will look strange to have only one thing that is chrome. On the other hand, I'm worried a SS faucet would look too dull and "matchy" with the SS sink and appliances. On the third hand, I'm already adding the gold/brass handles - would it be too much to have stainless, brass and chrome??

just match the faucet to the hardware. Or, as close as you can. No need to go w/nickel or SS just because that's what the sink is.

It (brass or gold) looks fine w/ss sink

you could always do a white sink. I think it looks better than a SS one

Brushed stainless has a warm tone to it that marries well with brass hardware. Chrome is very cold and doesn't mesh as well with warm toned hardware. I'd go with brushed stainless if it's available. I love brass, but I'm not a fan of the gold toned faucets. IMHO, it's too much of a good thing.

Satin nickel, brushed stainless. NO to chrome, given the brass. What's the finish on lighting if any? Mixing metals is great. But two in a kitchen is fine. The gleam of stainless is WONDERFUL against brass. Sink and faucet match, ( stainless ) is NOT boring. : )

The hardware on cabinets, and any lighting can be your very nice ACCENT.
