It is becoming more widely acceptable to mix finishes, but it depends on the look you want. If you want everything to be slightly matte and muted, I would go with a satin finish, but if you want a shiny, polished look I would go with the polished.

I love your designs - do you use satin nickel hardware more often then polished? I'm going for a southern coastal look, does one finish seem more appropriate? I have white dove perimeter cabinets and an espresso island - what would you recommend for faucets and hardware? Will polished look too formal? Thanks

What finish was used on cabinet hardware in this kitchen?

Restoration Hardware polished nickel was used for the cabinet hardware.

Lovely, lovely kitchen. What size are the Lugarno drawer pulls here?
