Chrome Wall Lights

Are the door handles, light switches or dimmers finished in chrome? Do you have mirrors with a silver surround? Are there any other items with chrome or silver trim? If so then a chrome finish will match and blend into the overall theme.

Polished chrome is well suited to light and airy rooms adding to the feeling of brightness due to the fact that they also reflect natural daylight very well. Placed either side of a large mirror or fireplace they can add an extra dimension to the room and create a focal point.

The same principal applies to satin silver and satin chrome finishes. Satin chrome or brushed chrome wall lights blend extremely well with stainless steel and silver. Once again look at the room before deciding on what type of finish wall light is best suited to the room.
