Bathroom - mixing medals

last year

I am working on a guest bathroom for a beach house and desperately need help with the hardware and mixing metals. I ordered a sink and tub faucet in brass, along with a matching showerhead in the same brass finish. I have not yet gotten a mirror or accessories. I am being asked what color hardware I want for the frameless shower door. Do I use brass or another metal? I'm concerned the brass on the shower door may feel a bit too much. Additionally, the bathtub lends a more casual look, while brass can sometimes convey a sense of elegance. I cannot change the faucet or showerhead, yet I think it can be saved. TIA for advice and suggestions.

is there any way you can get a frameless shower door... with limited hardware?

I think a brass shower door frame will date your new project from the jump.

if the shower compliments the other finishes to suit your style, go with your gut.

You say you are getting a Frameless shower so the only trim you have to choose would be the handle and I would go with a brass one.

thx, Lorraine, but my understanding is that there is hardware - besides the handle, there are hinges and many bathtub enclosures have a trim that runs across the top. yet I am looking into nowI.

I am voting chrome on the shower door. I am guessing it's only the hinges and the handle that would be chrome. Maybe a frmeless mirror and a chromelight fixtures. That's it. Don't mix a third metal in there.
