MIX IT UP!

At Golden Grove Countertops, we believe that your home should reflect your personality and style. One of the most exciting trends in interior design today is mixing metals, especially in spaces like the kitchen and bathroom. This bold approach not only adds depth and character to your interiors but also gives you the freedom to express your creative flair.

Why Mix Metals?

Gone are the days when matching every metal finish was a requirement for a polished look. Mixing metals can introduce a playful juxtaposition that elevates the overall design. For instance, combining brushed gold cabinet hardware with stainless steel appliances creates a striking contrast that draws the eye and adds sophistication. A copper sink paired with chrome faucets can infuse warmth into an otherwise cool-toned space, making your kitchen or bathroom more inviting.

How to Start Mixing Metals

1. Choose a Dominant Metal: Start by selecting one or two metals to anchor your design. This could be the finish of your countertops, major appliances, or light fixtures. For example, if you choose polished nickel as your base, you can comfortably introduce brass or matte black accents.

2. Vary Metal Finishes: Mixing different finishes — such as matte, polished, brushed, and hammered — can create layers of interest. Consider pairing a shiny chrome faucet with a matte black sink and brushed gold cabinet pulls for a dynamic look.

3. Incorporate Textures: The combination of textures can add an extra dimension to your design. A rustic copper pot rack with sleek, modern stainless steel appliances can blend traditional charm with contemporary chic.

4. Limit Your Palette: To avoid a chaotic finish, limit your palette to 2-3 metals. This approach keeps the design cohesive while still offering that playful mix.

5. Use Accents Wisely: Accessories like light fixtures, cabinet pulls, and decorative vases are wonderful opportunities to introduce new metals without overwhelming the space.

Final Touches

Don't be afraid to experiment and have fun with your metallic choices. Mixing metals can invigorate the look of your kitchen or bathroom, making it feel fresh and modern. Whether you're undergoing a full renovation or simply updating your hardware, remember that the goal is to create a space that feels uniquely yours.
