Gone are the days of matchy-matchy when it comes to furnishings in a well-styled home, and hardware can be the same! A sleek and streamlined look with uniform hardware can be visually appealing, but it's also fun to mix metals, whether it be an actual hardware mix, or mixing metal finishes with plumbing hardware, appliances, other pulls and handles in a room, or lighting fixtures. 

Metals can be seen as individual color tones or neutrals in their own right. Satin brass pulls with chrome kitchen appliances can add character as well as powder-coated colorful tone on tone cabinet pulls accented by satin brass screws. Mixing a bit of polished brass handles with matte black plumbing - why not? 

Mixing metals opens up a whole new set of options as you consider your next interior design project or hardware refresh!
