Her Favorite Color is Chrome

I ordered this beauty for my kitchen for a little sparkle! Chrome is popping up everywhere these days, starting to make its way ahead of bronze. Hardware, lighting, frames-embrace the sparkle!
 You can incorporate chrome hardware in your home and compliment other metals by following a few simple rules:


Make sure metals are consistent on each piece. If you have chrome handles on a vanity, make sure the faucet is chrome as well.

Keep your colors together in a room.
Keep golds together-mix bronze with brass
and keep silvers together- mix chrome with nickel
The exception to the rule is a flat bronze with a glossy chrome.

If you are going to mix your metals, be sure to mix your styles as well. A modern chrome vanity looks great with a rustic bronze mirror. Tie it back in with a modern chrome light fixture.
 Break up the stark metals with some soft foliage and other natural elements such as wood.

 Appreciate the beauty of each metal, and balance the weight that the colors supply.
Get in the mood for a little sparkle!
