Can you mix brass handles with other metals

Mixing metals in your kitchen seem to be one of the most popular question people have when renovating or building their kitchen. This guide will help you make a decision on mixing metals for your project. 

1. Brass handles with stainless steel appliances

A very common question that we often come across is 'Can I mix brass handles with stainless steel appliances' and the answer is yes you can.
