Mixing Metals: Silver and Gold blended
Updated: May 6
Yes, it's OK to mix your golds and silvers, really! When brass and shiny gold fixtures first came back in their time machine, it was a shocker to anyone who lived in the 80's brass era. "Silver or nothing" was the mantra. Then, top designers the world over said, "Yes, we love it and so will you!" The idea of mixing metals, however, wasn't in the cards. In 2020, it's all about mixing the bling.
