Ask Arren > Mixing metals in the bathroom
Hey Kathy, Mix and match!!! I'd keep all the other metals polished in the space, and you might need to check and see whether nickel - which is warmer in tone - or chrome will work best with your polished brass. The look will be eclectic, but if you're cool enough to drag home a gorgeous claw-foot tub you're definitely cool enough to handle a fashionable mix of metals.
Cheers, Arren

Hi Arren,
We are renovating our washroom and just purchased a beautiful used claw-foot tub with its original solid brass faucets, fixtures and feet. However, we're not sure if all the other fixtures in the room must now also be brass such as our lavatory faucet, our lighting fixture, towel rod, etc. Or can we mix our metals and have a brushed nickel or chrome lavatory faucet, etc. ? Would that clash ? What do you advise ?
Many thanks.
Kathy
