They are so tough to keep looking nice/clean - every fingerprint shows! If you have another option, I'd go with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-finish-for-kitchen-faucet-and-knobs#post-2669801 Fri, 23 Dec 2016 11:12:34 +0000 Mrsbells 2669801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we are going with shiny chrome since thats what is included wth the house but plan to upgrade later to a more matte look </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-finish-for-kitchen-faucet-and-knobs#post-2669797 Fri, 23 Dec 2016 11:02:22 +0000 YogiBeachWife 2669797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our kitchen is similar to what you described. I fell in love with the Lugarno collection from RH. We ordered the satin nickel. Faucet and appliances are all stainless or brushed nickel. Light fixtures are iron which makes a nice contrast. I agree with the other ladies, brushed/satin nickel doesn't show prints and easy to clean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-finish-for-kitchen-faucet-and-knobs#post-2669022 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 20:53:27 +0000 Boogs 2669022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Polished nickel sounds like it would be lovely in that space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-finish-for-kitchen-faucet-and-knobs#post-2669000 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 20:11:45 +0000 youboots 2669000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like a matte finish so they don't show prints. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-finish-for-kitchen-faucet-and-knobs#post-2668993 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 19:58:54 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2668993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: isn't it more like a pewter/ brushed nickel? I think I have finishes described that way and the look is similar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-finish-for-kitchen-faucet-and-knobs#post-2668987 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 19:53:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2668987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: what's the difference between polished chrome and shiny chrome? </p> <p>I don't care how shiny chrome looks with a polished SS. Also it's very hard to keel clean with fingerprints and such. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-finish-for-kitchen-faucet-and-knobs#post-2668963 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 18:21:34 +0000 snowjewelz 2668963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have white cabinets and stainless steel everything and went with brush nickel finish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-finish-for-kitchen-faucet-and-knobs#post-2668880 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 16:18:44 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2668880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like polished chrome and brushed nickel and would probably choose that. Shiny chrome seems to be cropping up quite a bit too. If you go that route maybe you could tie in a cool shiny chrome lighting fixture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-finish-for-kitchen-faucet-and-knobs#post-2668820 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 15:12:43 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2668820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are building a new home, and we went with brushed nickel. We wanted everything to match. When we put the shiny finishes next to the appliances, it clashed. But that's our taste, so good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-finish-for-kitchen-faucet-and-knobs#post-2668718 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 13:22:26 +0000 cat620 2668718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are renovating our kitchen, and I'm trying to decide which finish I should get for the faucet and cabinet knobs. My cabinets are white, my countertop is quartz (mainly white with some grey), and my appliances are all stainless steel. My sink is also stainless steel. I would like my faucet and cabinet knobs to match, but I'm trying to decide between polished chrome, polished nickel, or stainless steel. I like the shininess of chrome, but I'm not sure how well it would go with all the appliances. Maybe some contrast could be good. What do you think? Which finish did you use in your kitchen, and what do you like/dislike about it? </p>
