Dark oil-rubbed bronze complements medium and darker grays and greens, like dark sage kitchen cabinets, which contrast with textured, blackish-red oil-rubbed bronze knobs.

A light mint or light yellow-green color toned down with a touch of gray will compliment cooler, gunmetal finishes. The added gray tone keeps the color from overwhelming the subtle tones of the oil rubbed bronze. In general, staying with lighter and more neutral colors will help highlight the finish.

Purple + Bronze Because bronze is one of the darker of the metal tones, deep purple can be paired for a moody, dramatic effect, or a paler version of purple can be used for lightening the ambiance but in a chic, grown-up way.

Oil rubbed bronze makes a statement In fact, rooms rich with oil rubbed bronze pair well with warm tones like deep grays, sage greens, reds and orange-red undertones.

Is oil rubbed bronze out of style? The preference for oil rubbed bronze has been on the rise. It will probably never go out of style because of it’s association with charm and is timeless. Now, many are opting for a more modern flat black which has become trendy for its modern looks.

Oil rubbed bronze is officially an out of style decorating trend. Consider spray painting oil rubbed bronze light fixtures to a more contemporary color. A better alternative is to use black metal. Matching furniture sets are no longer in style.

If you start mixing and matching hardware on your doors, it’ll end up looking like you purchased whatever hardware you could find in the clearance bins. But I do think it’s absolutely, perfectly fine to use brushed nickel door hardware and oil-rubbed bronze lights.

If in doubt, use matte black or rubbed bronze as a bridge in your décor to balance metals like gold and silver. Matte black helps by grounding the scheme and the contrast enhances the metals you are using. Coloured metals like champagne bronze, gold, and brushed nickel are warm metals and look great with black.

Nickel + brass + black, yes it works. Again, same idea, you can mix three finishes but in this bathroom together with the chrome faucets live black mirrors and brass hardware. And again, see how the brushed nickel bathtub and sink faucets do pair with brass hardware & sconces, and black mirrors and shower frame.

Oil rubbed bronze makes a statement In fact, rooms rich with oil rubbed bronze pair well with warm tones like deep grays, sage greens, reds and orange-red undertones. Think of warm wood furniture, a deep red and black plush Persian rug, gray fabrics or upholstery and oil rubbed bronze hardware.

As mentioned earlier, black, white, tan, gray, various shades of brown, beige, and sometimes copper and bronze fall into the category of neutral colors. Neutral colors, like other colors, can be divided into cool and warm colors.

Oil Rubbed Bronze is a timeless classic to transcend any room and bridge a variety of styles.
