Does a Stainless sink work with oil rubbed bronze faucet?
-
KMS Woodworks on Sep 13, 2012I have seen this go both ways...personally I like the look of oil rubbed bronze with white porcelain. (this is what I have in my master bath). In the kitchen the stainless sink is paired with a stainless faucet...another option is brushed nickel.Helpful Reply

Z on Sep 13, 2012I think it's really all a matter of personal preference. Some like mixed metals some like them all to match. We have a stainless steel kitchen sink with a chrome faucet. Actually all our faucets are chrome on our 8 year old home. Though I like the look of oil rubbed bronze I wanted classic chrome in our home.Helpful Reply

Marianne Radley on Sep 14, 2012The countertop is a black laminate with pale gold flecks that look like mica. Budget wouldn't allow granite but may be changed in a few years as money becomes available. If so it will be basically the same look. Cabinets are vanilla with chocolate glaze.Helpful Reply

Designs by BSB on Sep 14, 2012If counter tops are black - I would recommend stainless, hands down. ORB does not look well on solid blackHelpful Reply

Z on Sep 14, 2012My suggestion Marianne, would be to buy a sample of each metal possibility in door hardware to bring home and see which you like best.Helpful Reply

Z on Sep 15, 2012That would be my preference too, but thought Marianne could tell better by having samples of each in her home. Sometimes the only way to convince myself, or at times my hubby, is to see it in person in our own lighting.Helpful Reply

Marianne Radley on Sep 15, 2012She went with crime faucets. I agree that the ORB wouldn't work but her dh wanted them. Wife wins again! Thanks everyone!Helpful Reply
