Mixed metal hardware question

2 years ago
last modified: 2 years ago

We are going to replace our front and back door locksets with Schlage brand and their website says you can order the finish in split metals. Should I order front and back of doors with aged bronze or do the split finish with satin nickel on the inside? We have sating nickel doorknobs on all interior doors.

Background info:

We have blended metals in different areas of the home:

Exterior lighting: dark oil rubbed bronze.

Deck wrought iron outdoor furniture: painted in Rustoleum "Walnut"- a very dark brownish-black.

Interior doors and hinges: satin nickel

Kitchen cabinet handles and knobs: aged silver

Kitchen greige-painted armoire: oil rubbed bronze pulls

Kitchen island: maple island in a medium reddish brown stain.

Kitchen table chandelier: very dark oil rubbed bronze (almost looks black)

Two story foyer chandelier: very dark oil rubbed bronze (almost looks black)

Dining room chandelier: dressier looking aged silver with hints of gold.

Powder room and MBR bath: aged/ antique brass lighting

Woodwork: all painted white

Red Oak floors in entry and kitchen: medium reddish-brown stain

Home finished in English country style, transitional with a mix of simple old world decor (but dressier in the living/ dining room) and soft contemporary lines. The interior is decorated with warm colors- none of the grey that is currently popular. We will not be changing to the grey because I like the furniture we have. I did update the foyer paint color from beige to a very light geige.

I am leaning towards going with oil rubbed bronze on both sides of the doors, but was hoping to get some input on that.

bronze on both sides of back and front doors
split finish with bronze on exterior of front and back doors and satin nickel on interiors of the front and back doors.
