I would not. It looks like you could not finish the job.

First Polished nickel IS warm. I would stay clear of black for any hard to change metals. It is already seen its time in the sun. Unlacquered brass and polished nickel are timeless. as is chrome. Since you have chosen a warm metal you will get the most longevity out of polished nickel . As far as hardware Rejuvenation faucets are made by CA Faucets and their hardware is a close if not exact match..

Sorry but mixing metals I am sure can be done but why in a small space. Polished nickel is a warm look and black not so why make this complicated . I have no idea why the pics are posted we only need to see your bathroom choices. I like chrome it is timeless and everything for the bathroom comes in chrome. Polished nickel my 2nd choice

I am the “one finish per bathroom” person. Stick to the unlacquered brass. It’s warm and works with any tile and decor. Can we see more of your choices (tile choices, sinks, shower design)?

The black looks harsh and like you couldn't be bothered to get the rest of the hardware in a similar "gold".

We returned to the plumbing showroom today -- agree that matte black does not work with CalFaucets satin bronze (SBZ).

The prospective glaziers whom I interviewed are hesitant to use shower glass hardware from any vendor other than CR Lawrence (CRL) or its local spinoff, FHC -- and neither hardware vendor has a brushed bronze matching SBZ. I called Rejuvenation; they have nothing, either. The closest match to SBZ is Kartner's Prosecco (#35), almost.

Instead, we are now pivoting toward CalFaucets French Gold (FRG) finish, which is a close match with CRL in French Gold.

I know that un-lacquered brass is getting popular, but I would be happier with a PVD finish. I think of black hardware as ageless or colonial -- my childhood home in Connecticut in the mid-50's had black H&L hardware on the kitchen cabinets.

The first two photos below were taken in the plumbing showroom. In the photo with the FRG faucet and the CRL square chip, the wood under the display is a drawer-front from our newly installed white oak vanity. The third photo is the new custom vanity. And, below that, a "before photo" of the 80's vanity.

Colonial = hand cast forged iron which is very different than todays black hardware. In true colonial homes you would find unlacquered brass and forged iron. The forged iron generally being used for the less finer attributes like door knobs. cabinet straps etc. Many companies have forged iron hardware if this is the look youre trying to achieve.

One finish for the small bath. Can't wait to see the final results.

@Meghan W, I agree. PN is timeless and warm.

Today, I had a Zoom meeting with a designer at Rejuvenation. She said that I already have enough warmth in the room. The PN finish will "pop," and it will be easier to coordinate with cabinet pulls/knobs and wall-mounted accessories. Rejuvenation has a finish (Heritage Brass) that can match satin bronze, but not for hinges & clamps.

The attached photo shows my shower niche with CalFaucets PN on the left and the CF French Gold on the right. Both finishes are polished / reflective; it is difficult to capture an accurate picture of their colors. The limestone-looking porcelain tile (bottom of photo) is the predominant tile in the room.

@CAGE Design Build, hoping to get this done by the end of the summer. I already have almost everything I need in PN -- re-ordering everything in a gold or bronze would give me an 8-week delay.

Why are you agonizing? ONE finish all of everything

You've made a decision that could easily have been great in easy to source, easy to clean chrome: , but you love what you love.

Polished nickel makes sense only because you want a "warm" tone, but be warned......

It spots like the dickens. The End, and I'd not mix polished nickel with any other metal _ it is best all alone.

It's great in a powder room, not so much in a bath with bathing and heavier use.Do the polished nickel and move along,?: ) or delay?

No to black. and don''t love the others in yours either. Keep it simple,

And be prepared to clean......

"Nickel is a "living finish," it slowly oxidizes (tarnishes) over time. When water splashes on it, the minerals react with the soft metal, leaving visible spots and a cloudy appearance much faster than highly resilient, nonporous chrome. [1, 2, 3, 4]While polished nickel demands a quick wipe-down after use to prevent water marks, it actually hides everyday fingerprints and dust better than chrome due to its softer, warmer glow. Chrome is harder and immune to this oxidation, meaning it retains its bright, mirror-like finish without tarnishing. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]If you are deciding between the two, tell me:

• What room the fixtures are for (e.g., bathroom vs. powder room)

• If your local water is hard or soft

• What your design style or color palette is (cool tones vs. warm tones)..........."

• and there you have t. : )! word for word AI smartie pants.

• ________________________________________________________

• Or? Reorder everything in Chrome and clean less, happily ever after. Because it is also readily available in abundant styles, will shorten the delay to the bath as well.

• I don't see tragedy in Chrome.

Chrome is classic. Maybe it is easier to choose the hardware for the shower and choose the faucets after since that seems the limiting factor.

@JAN MOYER, CalFaucets PN is a PVD finish and has a lifetime warrantee against tarnishing.

I just ordered my bathroom fixtues in satin bronze from CF. Was hoping this thread was going to make me less anxious about the matching of hardware im about to get into 😅. I fell in love with the color though! Do you feel like the glass hardware from CRL that was the closest match would be okay?

@HU-804639124, CRL has a matrix showing what goes with what. For CF SBZ finish , they recommend their Brushed Bronze (BBRZ) finish. One glazier suggested Vintage Brass (it is too red). I ordered CRL chips from DK Hardware. The CRL company provides chips to glaziers only.

Attached photos show a CF SBZ faucet next to a CRL BBRZ chip and two chips from Kartner's. CRL BBRZ is more yellow/brown than SBZ; Kartner's brushed bronze is more red; Kartner's Prosecco is the best match. (All the glaziers I interviewed are most comfortable using either CRL or FHC for shower hardware.)

Note: While CF SBZ is a PVD finish, the CRL and Kartner's finishes are living finishes (may tarnish over time).

I think polished nickel goes beautifully with your finishes. I've had Sigma PN with the PVD finish in my master bath for over 15 years and it looks just fine. There's been a bit of change/darkening but nothing awful. No pitting/peeling/spotting, just a warm patina. I also have CF and their finishes are high quality comparable to Sigma. I don't think you'll go wrong with either PN or chrome in your bathroom.
