Why did you start another thread? You had a thread about the entire Kosher kitchen!

A black induction range does NOT dictate black appliances. A stainless steel sink does not dictate a chrome faucet - a stainless faucet is a forever faucet.

You began your other thread with a question about inset doors, full overlay doors. Then you showed a "designer" inspiration with weird uppers /doubled that had nothing to do with the traditional pictures YOU were showing.

You aren't showing us the final kitchen design, you aren't showing us the final door selection. You aren't showing us the final"white" of your kitchen.........and you are second guessing yourself AND a designer who seems to prefer a style far different than yours.

Show the induction, which I will ASSUME is a cooktop? Or it is a full range. What is the refrigerator in stainless? You have three sinks or you don't?

At this point, I think we all may be a little clueless as to what is going on and in your gutted apartment ? : ) and you don't seem to be on the "same page" with your kitchen designer.

Stainless and brushed brass/gold are lovely together......a kitchen does not need more than two finishes. Stainless appliance count as one finish, and I will say that is ALSO a forever finish. You add the stainless sinks, a stainless faucet, your hardware is the "gold" and so too your lighting accent. ...............the quartz with gold veining.

Do you WANT a black fridge looming in the midst? Doesn't sound like you do. But again.......we are clueless.

Thank you Jan should I move my question to my other thread?

Yes a counter top induction

I don't want or like a chrome faucet - a stainless faucet I like the brushed gold family hence my question if it matches and won't look weird. Yes Jan I am new to this. Yes I want guidance Yes I am not "posting' perfectly but I am willing to learn. ANyways this doesn't need pictures this is just asking design advice. Can you have gold hardware/faucet with stainless steel appliances and sinks in a all white kitchen or does it clash. Yes I like when ppl are nice about it.

I would ignore the black of the induction in the counter top. I also understand you have not posted before! ( aside from the original thread )

You may certainly have a brushed gold faucet with a stainless sink, and with stainless appliances.

But you are missing the point of one thread, and your feedback.....

The faucet, the sink, the cabinet , it's style, your layout, the counter top, the actual everything is what we call full information on the topic.

When you yank out small questions from the whole? We do not have the full context to advise. Pictures of selections ARE pertinent to questions, so we have an idea here, as to what your final kitchen flavor is going to be!

When you stay in the original thread? Every individual poster who answered before, gets a notification and can return to comment.

It's all the same kitchen as your other thread.......and the same designer.

Make certain you and that designer have the same "vision" . .......

so if I do stainless steel sinks and stainless steel appliances with everything else gold and just the black induction its fine and flows and looks good no clashing

Yes I am not "posting' perfectly but I am willing to learn.

In your other postings - post pics. Folks want to help.

Now the designer hates that we are going with stainless steel sinks and appliances.

Soooo.....the designer is paying for this or you and your DH?

Soooo.....the designer is cooking in this kitchen or you and your DH?

"so if I do stainless steel sinks and stainless steel appliances with everything else gold and just the black induction its fine and flows and looks good no clashing"

Yes to above, unless you can fill IN the missing pictures and we can state otherwise.

If you want to keep asking questions, get replies that ask for more? You will get the answers minus the full information. "See" what we mean? No we can't : )

Tell your designer they can come and clean the white sink forever. Stainless is IMO a perfect finishe for both appliances and sinks I am not sure if a black induction cook top needs to drive anything else . If you live in the space you do what makes your life better not your designers . I would be t money this is a cabinet salesperson doing the kitchen design and BTW all the appliances and the sink should have been on hand before the kitchen was designed . In this time of slow delivery I never design a kitchen until those items ar ein the garge or at least on hand . I never go agianst a clients wishes for things without understanding what they are wanting. Sometimes just a bad idea but not in this case

People mix and match finishes all the time.

Will everyone love someone else's mix? Probably not, but they won't be living in the house.

At the top & middle of the page you will see the search bar. Type in "kitchens" and then select "kitchens in Photos". You will get thousands of photos of kitchens with every metal mix imaginable. Save the ones you like to your Ideabooks and use them as inspiration for your kitchen. Be careful of a designer who pushes their own personal biases and doesn't listen to the client's preferences.

There is no reason you can't mix metals in a kitchen.

Lots of kitchens have stainless appliances and other finishes on the knobs and pulls and pendant lights. You can buy appliances with mixed metal finishes. Do what makes you happy.

Fixing My Design Mistake With A Gold Kitchen Faucet by Delta: https://thesweetestdigs.com/delta-gold-kitchen-faucet/

Wow you are all so kind. I am in over my head. I think I did this whole thing backwards because we were rushing rushing to move before october ( as we sold) I need to breathe and think. Jennifer thank you for the link that is cool.

Chispa I am thinking maybe black is too bold for me and I want something quieter like the stainless steel ( although black is too cool and now I feel more confused cuz I like both looks!!!!!)

I think when I look at the kitchens in my design book I see the theme of white, brushed cold and intergrated ( which is out of my price range!!) So I am once again left with what color for appliances?

Patricia are white sinks really harder to keep clean? Why? From reading what you wrote I feel like we did this thing backwards but there is no going back now. All I have left is to decide appliances color and order!!

jan I have no kitchen to take a picture of! The plans are final at this point. Just got to pick the finishes. I wish I wish I knew about Houzz before we hired somone. I wish I could go back in time. Now I just need to try to be as smart as I can going forward. S

Nd how should I delete this thread and repost it on the original one?

I will try tomorrow to get as many pictures of what I choose as possible and post.

Shirlpp this forum is amazing I am impressed how giving everyone is. I wish I was a better poster and knew what I was doing (both in "real" life and here !! Ok I will try to post pictures tomorrow of the light I choose for island, the hardware and faucet. I still don't have pic of appliances but basically I can choose black or stainless steel and I willpost the countertop that I choose.

Thank you all for trying to help me

following. I love mixed metal kitchens so hoping to see yours come together beautifully

No worries!

You might as well keep this thread since you've gotten a lot of good advice.

Re the white sink…I have a cream colored sink and it needs scrubbed every single day.

Go with the stainless appliances. Most people see it as a neutral. Personally I don't think I have seen a kitchen with black appliances that looked great. Large fridges in black just look like a black hole in the kitchen! Stainless is also easy to match across brands if you need to replace an appliance 10 years down the road.

We rented a house while building and it had a white Kohler sink. It always looked dirty, even though it had been cleaned.

boxerpal thank you I think after more googling it really is commen to do stainless steel ovens and fridge adn white cabinets with gold hardware (PHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) NO it does not clash even if my designer says it does and I will go with the white sink I think to make it a bit more streamlined

My cabinets are a very white crisp white Shaker door

this is the counter for island and backsplash.

gold handles ( thinking only 2 sizes ( to keep the kitchen from being busy) smaller for cabinets and longer for the long drawers.

Shirlpp- TY (hugs)

I was thinking of this for my island .( is it too bling bling cuz that is not what I want but I fell in love with it in two different stores I also love traditional pendants like this idea ( tons of this to see and find online! ( without the black)

Barheadlass- scrubbed with what? Is it annoying? How long have you had it? Did you mount it over or under the counter?

what else to share ah yes black induction ( cuz its sooooooooo easy to clean even though I like the traditional look of gas top) So black will be in the induction and doors of the ovens

3 choices of ovens

I think I will take the siemens cuz its more stainless less black

this is the options of sink faucets designs square or round? Which one goes better with my kitchen both are nice

The gold pictured is NOT the gold I am going with its more in the same family as the handle in the post above ( why don't they come in sets so hard to match the same brushed gold handle to faucets went to so many stores!!)

Thank you Chispa. What I am reading on line is that white can stay very clean and look good white stainless steel sinks get scratched. But for sure now I am feeling confident in going with stainless fridge and ovens (PHEW AND THANK YOU PPL!) I think I will go with white sink

So what do you think of my colors so far? Flowing? What color bar stools thinking white seats and gold legs or maybe go funky and do something else. I don't the eye to hurt I like calm and pleasing so maybe keep the funky pop to a painting or something

No one is born knowing how to renovate a kitchen or how to place furniture or pick coordinating colors. We all learn as we go.

I have had both stainless and white sinks. I did keep a rubber mat on the base of my white sink to keep metal pans and utensils from marking it up. It wasn't a big deal or a deal breaker for me. Had it 20 years and it was still in good condition - no stains or noticeable scratches.

My current sink is stainless. It is over 50 years old. It has scratches, but you don't notice them- the 2000 scratches all blend together and make it look like a brushed finish.

I will most likely replace my stainless sink with another white sink as it will go better in my kitchen (All white appliances and white counter with large veins, purple cabinets. Most likely will have bronze pulls to go with the Cafe Brushed Bronze knobs and handles).

ohh lala purple cabinets how fun!! Brushed finished sounds nice but I like the idea of a mat just a plain amazon rubber mat? Didn't you have to constantly clean the mat?

A white sink will look dirty and gross unless it is cleaned daily. stainless will be more cohesive.

There is NO easier upkeep than a stainless sink. Mine looks brand new after 20 years. No, I don't use a grate, no, I am not cautious. It's just a really nice Blanco single bowl sink.

I spray a little cleaner, wipe, rinse, and if in the mood? give it a swipe to dry.

You clean a sink at least once or twice a day, no matter WHAT it is.

Oh stainless steel sinks are the best! no black sink or black appliances is my in put.

That Siemens oven photo you posted is a WHITE glass and stainless model. Do they have a black glass and stainless model?

this is the type of mat I used. I just wiped/rinsed it after washing dishes.

I think your choices will look beautiful together!

Having a couple different metals makes the design more interesting and is more pleasing to the eye imo.

I don’t understand why your designer thinks you need to match the black glass on the induction cooktop. It practically disappears when looking at the kitchen as a whole. You only see the black if you are looking straight down at it. The black glass does not count as a metal. Why? Because it is not metal. 😉 As suggested, just ignore it!

Oh and I hope your designer was not suggesting ”black stainless steel” appliances like this.

It is made with inexpensive stainless steel that they put a black coating over. It starts peeling off and looks real ugly in a few years. Ask me how I know!

Take a look at MinnesotaMary’s gorgeous kitchen.

See how the black glass induction cooktop is barely noticeable on the countertop?

I can envision a white painted island and hood. A SS hood would work as well.

I love her pendants! I would look for something similar that has the gold and opaque white glass.

She has an integrated paneled fridge, and a paneled DW, but all stainless appliance would have looked great too.

Notice the double ovens, drawer microwave, and beverage fridge are SS with black glass? Looks perfectly fine! She also has a SS stock pot and other SS and copper items displayed in the bar area. Hard to tell, but could it be SS on the table legs?

Anyways, I just thought this was a good example of a white kitchen with mixed metals. Hope it helps you feel better about your decision! 💗

chipsa white glass is perfect with the stainless steel as I am trying to stay away from black...right?

Rebunky I love the pic so helpful thank you. Yes I am now ignoring the black and trusting my heart ( and trusting you ppl to be honest!!)

Any feedback if the pendant I posted is over the top and I should go with 3 hanging lights instead to be more quiet?

Home interiorswith ease- Yep I hear you I am going with white sink and stainless appliances. I feel at peace now with it

What is the length of your island in feet? What is the length of picture one of the linear chandelier? I ask because you want to make sure the light will hit across the whole island.

I think it is very pretty. I just question if it would give good enough task lighting for above the island. I think it would look great over a dining room table though!

I would do pendants over the island, but I am not sold on the cage style one you show. I don’t mean to be offensive, but we live on a farm in HI, and it looks just like our fruit picker to me. I am so sorry! 😬🫣

I also don’t care for those exposed Edison style light bulbs. It hurts my eyes to look at them. Imo, it is nicer with an opaque glass so that it hides the actual light bulb.

I also like when the light is directed down, focusing upon what you are doing on the island. If your lighting plan has plenty of can or puck lights in the ceiling, then maybe they would be okay?

Rebunky I have a lot of other lighting around the kitchen the island is 120 meters which is 393 I think for you americans?

the light leaves 40 cm around which is 15 inches

what about faucet square or round? with shaker doors?

In my opinion, the rounded faucet is more traditional. The squared one is more modern.

The chandelier is more modern, so if you go with that over the island, then I would pick the squared faucet.

The pendants seem more farmhouse (?) style to me, so if you pick those, I would choose the rounded faucet.

I am not a designer, so maybe wait for Jan and the other Pros to give thier advice?

Thank you I don't want busy for chandelier and I read online that glass and bulps (gorg!!) get dirty really fast

Step away from the white sink. We have a Kohler farm sink in the house we bought last year. Even with daily cleaning, it has to be bleached to look sort of white. HATE it.

maggie loads of ppl say its not a problem to clean?

Jennifer thank you for the link
