CONS: Can be more expensive
STYLES: Traditional or modern

Bronze
Oil-Rubbed Bronze
PROS: Hides water spots and fingerprints

Satin Bronze
PROS: Extremely durable. Easy to clean.

STYLES: Industrial, modern

Nickel
Polished Nickel
PROS: Shiny finish, durable
CONS: Can be more expensive than chrome. As with any polished finish, it will show fingerprints and water spots
STYLES: Blends well with traditional, modern, contemporary, and eclectic
Brushed Nickel
PROS: Goes with most any decor, easy to maintain as it does not show fingerprints or water spots.
CONS: Doesn’t really stand out or blend in
