Kitchen Colors Help Please

"Can I mix steel and brass?"

The Question

I need some help please with my kitchen colors as I want to change the look of my kitchen without paying out to replace the whole thing.

It is not really my walls that I am worried about but I have bronze faucets and cabinet pulls and I want to know if you think I can mix these with stainless steel appliances. I love the look of stainless steel but am not sure if it will 'go'.

My cabinets are dark wood effect and the walls are yellow.

The Answer

I don't think I would mix them.

Brass fixtures and fittings and dark cabinets are quite a traditional or country look whereas stainless steel seems more appropriate in a contemporary kitchen.

For that reason, I don't think the two can be successfully mixed.

I love stainless steel too but it can look out of place in an older style room.

If you are keeping your brass fittings I would choose cream appliances and a cream and yellow kitchen window treatment to tie it all together.
