Yep that's a silver mirror and we absolutely recommend mixing metals as long as you balance the mixture and it's not just one random brass element. it works well if you layer them consistently throughout. Hope this helps!

So funny! I'm planning to paint the bannister at the new house (TNH) black and am veering towards painting the treads and risers black too... I've been searching for images of black staircases on Houzz and putting them in my entrance hall ideabook. They are few and far between. In your case, I think, with your white walls, maybe the stairs white and the bannister black? (Assuming the white walls continue up the stair walls enabling the b/w contrast.) You've already put black firmly into the equation, adding some more may give more reason for the black rad cab. In my case, there is a very off-centre radiator that could so very easily have been directly opposite the front door in TNH which is rather annoying as it stuffs up the focal point. We are leaving here with every radiator covered with a cabinet - and going to TNH that has loads of radiators ...but no cabinets! Yes, the work ahead is daunting - especially since the area of Ireland we're going to is very basic and not full of DIY resources, etc. I keep thinking I'll paint TNH white - to make things simpler(!) But try as I may colour keeps wandering through my mind! Lovely to be in touch again!

Mixing metal finishes in the kitchen?
Q
Comments (7)
The appliances are also likely to be in stainless steel finish, would that count? I've already bought light fittings and they are not brass, they're glass with a black cord. The room will have a built in seating area and also has a music area with a piano and speakers etc, so the habfles will be continued down to that area which should help. I was going to have a black wall light above the piano, perhaps I could incorporate brass there. I did have my heart set on a particular one. Would a brass framed mirror help? I am going to have a mirror on a chimney breast between the kitchen and dining areas. Do you think that should be the silver finish or brass finish?

What to do with the fireplace?

I won’t be putting the same light fittings up, as the ceilings are low and they were too big for my tall family. I’m still looking for something that is modern (maybe mid century style) and flush or semi flush. I haven’t found anything I love yet and don’t want to rush out and but something I don’t like. I’ve made that mistake before
