3 Tips On How To Mix Metals

One question I hear a lot is on how to mix metals in a home. Chandeliers, faucets, or cabinet knobs and pulls are essential to bringing anything metallic together. Here are 3 easy tips to follow to start mixing metals in your home and complement any surrounding spaces.

Inspiration From Light Fixtures

Light fixtures are an excellent tool to tie colors from. As you can see in this modern-style Juniper floor plan, we had fun blending the black and gold metals throughout the home. In the bathroom we had one of our favorite Black Delta Faucet collections with a great pair of lights from George Kovacs sourced through Mahlanders. The result was a cohesive and practical space that draws all colors together.

Layering Colors

The primary bathroom in our 2022 Spring Parade Home was the perfect example of layering colors. We began with Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black on the cabinets accented with gold pulls and completed with black and gold on the lighting and mirrors. We also tied-in black bath hardware and faucets. Layering your metals works well in a bathroom because it provides a clean layout and contributes to an organized feel.

Tile Reflections

Select tile that reflects surrounding metals. This primary bath is incredibly harmonious. The tile selections play off of our color palette as well. We love a bright and airy space, but the subtle component of darker accents throughout the room was the icing on the cake.

If you apply any of these tips in your own home, take a picture and tag us on our socials! We would love to see what you come up with.

Happy mixing!
