Mixing metals have been a popular design trend in recent years, not only it can add layers and texture to your kitchen, it can also create a historical look and make your kitchen more interesting.

There are three main tones of metals:  warm, cool and neutral one. Warm metals includes  copper, brass and gold. While silver, aluminum and stainless steel are considered as cool, cast iron and black metals are neutral. You can use one dominant metal tone finish for your kitchen and coordinate it with accent metals. Go for a 7:3 ratio and avoid mixing all three types of metals in one time because this will be too busy.

If your kitchen is in simple and plain colour, go for a cool black metals faucet and match it with a copper vent hood. The black metals go well with the plain background while the warm copper create a stylish and sophisticated look in the kitchen.
