Brass handles and stainless steel tap?

27 replies

Currently designing our kitchen and had planned on either brass or brushed brass handles for the cabinets, although haven’t decided on the exact ones yet. However, we also want a quooker tap and they don’t appear to come in brass/brushed brass (they have antique brass, but that looks too dark for what we were after). Will it look odd to have a stainless steel tap with brass cabinet handles? Or do I need to rethink the handles (and therefore cabinet colour!).

I considered black too, as the ovens and hob will be black, but we're in a hard water area and I worry limescale will make it look awful.

Was happy to mix metals, but I couldn't find another element that we could make chrome or stainless steel (no extractor, ovens will be black, as will hob, fridge and freezer integrated) and to do that I think we'd need at least 2 items in each metal to look coordinated.

Also considered antique brass handles to match the patinated quooker tap, but then decided we should probably save money on the tap anyway (was struggling to justify the cost as it was - could buy 30 kettles or more and still be no worse off! Still wonder if we should bother!).

Thanks everyone! Yes it’s really expensive isn’t it. We’re also in hard water area so are avoiding black!! Will take a look at quietly!!
