Your home is full of accessories and knobs that can make or break the interior design style of your home. The shape features should match the rest of your furniture for its level of sophistication, but so should the finish and color. It is not uncommon for people to choose a bold style faucet, for example with a chrome finish which is usually not stylish enough in a high-end home. It can also be difficult to coordinate with other accessories, such as lighting and knobs. By changing the finish, you will notice a much more cohesive look. Let’s take a look at some finishes and colors and see how we can coordinate them for a high-impact interior design.

Chrome is easily the most popular finish for faucets. It is stain and scratch resistant and can be made to look clean. It is commonly used in mid-level homes and is a relatively safe option compared to some finishes. Chrome can be combined with knobs and lighting, but the moment you start using a lot of chrome, it begins to draw your design style towards modern. This is great if you have a modern style, but making it work in a bungalow will be a challenge.

Brushed nickel is similar to chrome but softer and much easier to match between accessories. And it doesn’t scream modern in the same way that Chrome does. Another advantage is the matte finish that does not show fingerprints or dust compared to polished finishes.

Bronze is one of my favorites because it works well with various light fixtures. It looks elegant as long as it is worn in a sophisticated design style. If you combine it, you will have a simplistic style, it can look cheap. Bronze comes in a number of subtle color variations making it flexible to suit your design style. Darker shades of bronze will also tend to draw less attention to accessories and more attention to your other furnishings.

Polished brass has made a comeback in recent years and looks great with traditional styles. Unlike most other finishes, polished brass requires more maintenance. This finish says elegant and depending on the exact style it can be very Victorian.

Shimmering gold is the champagne of the world of luminaries. It makes a statement and every accessory made with it pops. It requires careful lighting to make the most of it. Go ahead and make your statement, just make sure your home is stylish enough to carry the style.

If you’re ready for some serious color, you can even try painted finishes. Be careful, a little color goes a long way, but you’ll enjoy the full flexibility in color that paints provide. You may have to order special parts to get what you want, but painted accessories will be a unique talking point.

Regardless of the color you choose, always remember to perpetuate it throughout the house. He coordinates the entire house from the towel racks to the drawer pulls to the kitchen faucet. When everything is coordinated, your home will look thoughtful and sophisticated, regardless of the particular design style.
