Door Handle color new condo

[nicolewi]

My parents can choose door handles for their condo in either brushed nickel or matte black. They HAD brushed nickel b/c they had to choose very early and assumed they would go with chrome & brushed nickel for a lot of finishes. However, they ended up with NOTHING brushed nickel. They have brass/gold for kitchen faucet, cabinet pulls, lights, and the main guest bath. They have chrome in the other baths & laundry. In the lower level, they have polished nickel pulls on the bar b/c it just looks really rich with the counter/backsplash and doesn't have to coordinate with anything else downstairs. 

They just found out they could still switch to the black handles. Would you switch or stay with brushed nickel? 

I see online that black can fade??? Maybe brushed nickel is still more "neutral" even though it doesn't actually match anything?

I may be biased, but we recently switched out all of our hardware on the main floor to matte black and gold/brass in a few places and I love it. So, that would be my vote.

I don’t think your handles have to match anything but the hinges. We just built and had no choice. They are brushed nickel and fine, but not amazing.

As long as the hinges are switching, I’d probably do black because I like the look more. But I don’t think there’s a wrong choice here.
