There are many components you must think about when preparing for a bathroom remodel. The kind of countertops you want, the flooring, the wall color, and even the fixtures; they all must come together cohesively to create an eye-catching and beautiful look. But what about mixing metals and hardware? Should you do this or not? Are there rules you should follow? Keep reading to find out what you need to know when it comes to these essential additions.
Rule #1: Stick to 3 or Less
Designers recommend that you do not mix more than three metals when remodeling your bathroom. This rule also comes with the idea that you want your space to look cohesive. Choosing certain colors that appear similar but vary even slightly can stand out more than you think, making it obvious to guests that something is “off.”
By keeping the number of metals minimal, you avoid a potentially cluttered appearance; instead, you create a more visually appealing design.
Rule #2: Choose a Primary Metal
When thinking about your faucets, showerhead, door handles, etc., choose a primary metal that you plan to use throughout most of your bathroom. This might be a brushed nickel, stainless steel, or antique gold, depending on the kind of style you are looking to achieve.
Generally, more contemporary designs lean toward cool undertones, while traditional or rustic spaces have warmer undertones, like brass or bronze.
Rule #3: Use Other Rooms to Inspire Bathroom Design
If you need help choosing which types of metals and hardware to incorporate into your bathroom, consider looking at the other rooms in your home for inspiration.
The type of faucet in your kitchen, switch plates on the walls, or handles on your cabinetry can carry into your bathroom, creating a cohesive and beautiful flow throughout your home.
What you choose to do with your bathroom is up to you. While there are certainly rules you can follow to ensure everything appears visually appealing, make sure you are happy with your choices. If you want help from someone with an eye for design, don’t hesitate to reach out to a local professional. They can offer suggestions that will put you one step closer to achieving your dream bathroom.
