We just knocked down some walls to create an open concept space & although I plan on changing out my current furniture, it will be a gradual process. I just did a bathroom remodel with brushed gold hardware and LOVE it. I don’t necessarily want brushed nickel hardware in my kitchen b/c I feel like its so plain/basic. I do have some black/dark furniture and I thought it might be cool to try the black handles in kitchen, but then I don’t know if that means I need to also get black pendant lights for over island or if I choose brushed gold, do the lights need to match that? Other problem is I have a collection of silver frames (that I don’t want to get rid of) and now that this is open concept, I’m worried the mixed metals in kitchen will clash with those in adjacent living/dining areas. I also feel like the kitchen sink faucet should match the hardware, but am not sure if this matters. Let me know what you think! The cabinets are being painted white & countertops and backsplashes will be a white quartz with gray veining. Let me know if you have any specific ideas for lighting, fans will be removed and can be replaced with other fans or some cool semi-flush mount lights or ?? (our ceilings aren’t too tall, so that limits us).
