ORB throughout house?

10 years ago

We're working with a builder and have ORB in the kitchen and would like all the knobs and hinges within the house to flow with ORB as well. Would that prevent us from using brushed nickel within bedrooms or for lighting?

I'm not a professional, but in my opinion, no, it would not limit you to using touches of another finish. We have ORB door & cabinet hardware in our new house, but brushed nickel bathroom fixtures, kitchen sink & faucet.

You can definitely do Brushed nickel in the other spaces.

LVT in a kitchen is a really practical choice, and with the huge choice of designs available now, it can look great as well. Having said that, many of our customers opt for wood throughout the ground floor to give a feeling of flow and continuity, and as long as you're quick to wipe up any spills wood can also work brilliantly in the kitchen. Rugs are a great way to 'zone' off certain area's if you wish to break it up a bit. We have lots of engineered wood floors similar to the one in your link, and depending on where you live, may be able to help out (we cover much of Surrey, Hampshire and SW London).

Black or dark grey will look great too,. There are lots primer products that help block the dark stains and varnishes and lots of youtube tutorials on how to paint over dark wood in case you decide to go white. I would agree with Sonia in that you should divide the project up. Maybe forget about the rest of the house and just focus on the fireplace as your only project. Seeing a complete project is always good motivation to complete another. Regarding the burgundy tiles. Although I don't normally recommend painting tiles, if they are in a low "traffic" and low moisture area then painting them is an option. It doesn't look like your fire place is used to light fires? If not, another option is adhesive vinyl tiles, bear with me! We put down wood effect vinyl tiles in the front entrance a while back as a temporary measure. The previous owners had cream coloured carpet! I couldn't stand it, so I used vinyl tiles as a quick cheap solution, but I've been really impressed with how they look and how durable they've been. Now I don't have any plans to change them. They come in so many options from wood to marble to Victorian tile. And best of all its a very DIY'able project, its cheap so if you don't like it just peel them off. They are rigid enough that the grout lines from your tiles wont show through. I've attaced some examples of the many many options available.

Hi, porcelain tiles may be the answer. They are very tough and easy to clean, yet look amazing. The only drawback is they are cold underfoot so under floor heating may be a good idea, budget allowing. However I have them in my kitchen in slate effect without UFH and it’s fine. Funnily enough someone else has a similar dilemma on another post! Porcelain comes in so many finishes from stone effect to wood effect and here’s a few examples.

My friend has the large white porcelain tiles throughout ground floor of her open plan home with underfloor heating. They look great in a contemporary home - cleaning is not a problem - white/light coloured tiles are easy to keep clean unlike black tiles, which are a nightmare (if they’re polished porcelain). She has 2 kids and 2 dogs and the floor never looks grubby so I would say go for it if you love them. As above posts, the starkness can be broken up with rugs, plants etc.

One of the things that we love best about ORB is that it really tends to play well with a multitude of different tones, from brushed nickel to gold accents.
