Home design with mixed metal lighting is my happy place. Do me a favor, pick up that outdated "rule book" of sticking with a single metal finish and throw it out the window (figuratively speaking- no littering please). The way I see it, a lot of design rules are made to be broken. Case in point: check out the stainless appliances paired with brass and bronze geometric pendant lights below- so amaze!
Two-toned metal fixtures add more personality, warmth and dimension to your space. Plus, it gives you two finish options to work with when it comes to other lights in your home- you gotta love that.
Try a bronze and brass orb chandelier in your foyer, or multiple industrial glass shade pendants with brass and graphite accents over your kitchen island. Or my personal fave, a mixed metal open cage linear chandelier over your rectangular dining table (so fab).

Hi! So glad I ran across your blog! I’m knocking down a wall between the kitchen and dining room and am trying to use a very industrial looking fan/light (the kind in a cage) in the kitchen in oil rubbed bronze(non-returnable purchase and hoping I can finally use it in the house) and figuring out pendant lights and dining room table chandelier is making my head hurt. I’m trying to bring in some mixed metals to try and get copper or soft gold to work with the fan(everything else below will be nickel). I don’t mind ORB, just don’t want everything overhead to be dark when its a 100 year old house with dark cabinets and woodwork. This post and the links really helped me!
