How to Match Faucets and Hardware with Your Bathroom Vanity
Picking the perfect vanity is only part of the design equation. The finishing touches — faucets, cabinet pulls, towel bars — can elevate or overwhelm the look. Today, we’ll break down how to match bathroom vanity hardware to your vanity finish, style, and color palette so you can create a cohesive space that feels high-end.
1. Consider the Vanity’s Finish First
The vanity’s color and material will heavily influence which metal finishes work best. Here are a few safe pairings:
- Light Acacia or Oak: Pairs beautifully with matte black or brushed nickel.
- Mid-Century Walnut: Looks rich with antique brass or oil-rubbed bronze.
- Mineral Gray or White: Clean and versatile — great with chrome or brushed gold.

2. Stick to Two Metal Finishes Max
While mixing metals can add character, it’s best to limit yourself to two finishes per space. For example, if your faucet is chrome, match your mirror or towel bar in the same finish, and let the cabinet pulls stand out in matte black or brass.
3. Match Style, Not Just Color
Modern vanities call for sleek, streamlined hardware. Traditional vanities look better with ornate or vintage-style hardware. Keep your faucet silhouette in sync with your vanity style for a polished look.

4. Choose the Right Faucet Height
If your vanity includes a vessel sink, opt for a tall faucet or wall-mounted version. Undermount sinks pair well with standard-height faucets.
5. Hardware for Smaller Vanities
Smaller vanities like the Chianti 24″ benefit from slim, minimalist hardware. Avoid oversized pulls or intricate shapes that may visually overpower the piece.
