What color should faucets be?

I picked some fixtures for a bathroom remodel and the contractor asked me "are you sure???"

faucets: chrome
shower rod, shower vertical handle bar, towel bars, vanity handles, toilet paper holder, door knobs are all mismatched and all different kinds of brass, satin nickel, etc...oops.

Suggestions?

How about faucets: chrome
door knobs and vanity cabinet handles: satin nickel
shower road, towel bars, toilet paper holder: brushed, not polished, stainless steel

Is that better with only 3 kinds? Or try to cut it down to 2?

You use whatever YOU want to. Most people, however, use a single, or at most two, finish.

Polished chrome may be the least expensive option, but if you're going to go for other finishes on other design elements, you may want to stick with the same throughout. But, it all comes down to what do you like, and does it look good to you?

Agreed... as long as you realize that if you make esoteric design decisions, your choices could negatively affect the resale value of your home.

Colour choices could also lead to marital discord. You should probably listen to the contractor. He has probably seen divorces as a result of colour choices.

If you're concern is martial discord, then forget the contractor... listen to your wife!

My wife selects the contractor.

If this is a remodel, they may already be in "marital disharmony".
