(they are more expensive just an FYI than brushed nickel) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/house-fixtures-brushed-nickel-or-oil-rubbed-bronze#post-2728610 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 07:10:47 +0000 mrskansas 2728610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a more rustic feel to our house so we did everything in the oil-rubbed bronze. I LOVE it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/house-fixtures-brushed-nickel-or-oil-rubbed-bronze#post-2728609 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 07:09:43 +0000 wrkbrk 2728609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: Yes! I forgot, we did black fixtures in one bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/house-fixtures-brushed-nickel-or-oil-rubbed-bronze#post-2728583 Mon, 24 Apr 2017 22:48:18 +0000 LindsayLou 2728583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, I prefer brushed nickel. But I think both are nice and it really depends on what other colors and materials will be around them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/house-fixtures-brushed-nickel-or-oil-rubbed-bronze#post-2728579 Mon, 24 Apr 2017 22:22:27 +0000 birdofafeather 2728579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have ORB and matte brass as well as some flat black. All complentary without having to stick to only one metal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/house-fixtures-brushed-nickel-or-oil-rubbed-bronze#post-2728574 Mon, 24 Apr 2017 21:18:05 +0000 wrkbrk 2728574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NCSUchick27: Congrats! We just built a house and chose all oil rubbed bronze, even for the door handles and hinges. I feel like it's one of those trends like rose gold engagement rings. Super popular online but I know very few people IRL who have it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/house-fixtures-brushed-nickel-or-oil-rubbed-bronze#post-2728547 Mon, 24 Apr 2017 19:56:02 +0000 tequiero21 2728547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both and I prefer the oil rubbed bronze. Depends on the color of tiles and all too though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/house-fixtures-brushed-nickel-or-oil-rubbed-bronze#post-2728538 Mon, 24 Apr 2017 19:46:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 2728538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently in just the same situation- lots of dated, beat up, shiny brass here. I actually love the new antique brass things I've been seeing but we are planning on one of your two choices. I'm leaning towards oil rubbed bronze. I just really love the look of it. I do worry it will eventually be dated where the nickel is more timeless, maybe, but that's what I'm thinking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/house-fixtures-brushed-nickel-or-oil-rubbed-bronze#post-2728524 Mon, 24 Apr 2017 19:12:54 +0000 NCSUchick27 2728524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are closing on our first house in a week! Eek!</p> <p>The house has mixture of chrome and 90's shiny brass fixtures. We are going to slowly replace them with either brushed nickel or oil-rubbed bronze. Which one would you pick? I think I like oil-rubbed bronze the best at the moment, but I also like brushed nickel. I can't decide. </p> <p>I have seen that brass fixtures are coming back into style, but I just don't care for the look. </p>
