If you are in the process of choosing finishes for your kitchen or bathroom, we feel your pain. Every day, it seems that a new option is available. We redid our last home in Jan 2014 and it seems the choices in kitchen finishes have tripled in the past 3 years.
And…if you are getting your ideas on Pinterest (like WE ALL ARE), your overwhelm is probably hitting the red zone.
It’s just too much.
So, let’s calm down and break this problem into 2 smaller chunks: finish and design style.
For this article, we are only going to focus on the color/finish of the fixtures. And the “only” is there for a reason. The finishes of your faucet and door pulls are incredibly important. It will set the tone for your kitchen and guide your choices for your light fixtures, appliances, and accessories.
Of course, we know that the design style of the faucet and cabinet handles are just as important as the color. But we are just getting started, remember? So for this post, let’s keep focused on only choosing the finish of the plumbing fixtures and cabinet hardware.
One step at a time.
So let’s first look at the color options for hardware and faucet finishes out there. Once you’ve got that down, you can worry about the actual faucet and door handle styles.

Currently, my sister is having her bathrooms remodeled. She wants to make sure it has a luxurious feel, so she’s looking at different design elements. I didn’t realize choosing a bath fixture style is just as important as color because it affects the design. I’ll be sure to share this info with my sister.
It’s awesome that this article talked about bathroom fixture and accessories. My favorite part of this article is when provided such cool and stunning images.

Seeing this post is really timely and helpful!
