July Favorites – Nantucket Charm

Confession time! I designed my own house around a Nantucket meets Hamptons fantasy that I’ve had in my head for years, long before I ever set foot on the island. One ferry ride later every instinct was validated. Cedar shakes, blue hydrangeas, American flags as far as the eye can see…amazing! Nantucket style is coastal decor at its most refined. East Coast perfection!

Brizo Luxe Gold Cheat Sheet: What Actually Matches? Updated for 2026

Originally published June 2025 · Substantially updated August 2026

Planning a remodel in 2026? Brizo’s Luxe Gold finish continues to captivate with its warm, sophisticated hue. However, finding coordinating pieces can be a challenge. This updated cheat sheet is your go-to resource for seamlessly matching mirrors, lighting, and accessories to your Luxe Gold fixtures.

Luxe Gold truly distinguishes itself amidst the common finishes like Brushed Nickel, Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and the now-popular Matte Black. Its warm-gold tones can add a touch of luxury to your living spaces without resembling the bright brass fixtures of the ’80s. Instead, Luxe Gold exudes sophistication and style, making it an excellent choice for both kitchen and bathroom remodels.

Here’s just a glimpse of what Brizo’s Luxe Gold collection offers:

Scroll *all the way down* for for the Cheat Sheet with links.

Luxe Gold definitely stands out in a sea of Brushed Nickel, Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze and (now) Matte Black. It’s the perfect warm-gold to bring a hint of luxury to your spaces.  It’s not bright brass from the 80s, not even close. It’s sophisticated and stylish! They have everything you need for your Kitchen or Bath.

Here’s just a very small sampling…

So, let’s say you’ve decided to use this lovely combination of plumbing fixtures in your home. Amazing! But… you need some things to coordinate with it too. Knobs… lights… mirrors… And you may be questioning, “What goes with this gorgeous finish?” Brizo makes a few things to coordinate – but not much – like one light…seriously.

so What actually coordinates?

You can actually MIX the finish with other finishes…maybe matte black? That’s definitely a valid option. But, let’s look at what will actually coordinate with Luxe Gold from other brands so you’re not stopping short after choosing new plumbing fixtures. Here are a few of my favorites. Don’t worry, all the links are down below at the bottom of the post.

But wait…

Is This The Same As Delta’s Champagne Bronze?

Before we dive into each of these items above (links are below) let’s address a mistake I almost made.

Is Brizo’s “Luxe Gold” finish interchangeable with Delta’s “Champagne Bronze”? I mean Delta OWNS Brizo…they look similar…they’re probably the same right?

No…no they’re not.

Brizo’s Luxe Gold is lighter, less “gold-y”. Delta’s Champagne Bronze is deeper and would mix easily with standard brass options. (Maybe we’ll cover that in the future!) But for now, let’s stick with Brizo’s Luxe Gold.

So let’s breakdown that Cheat Sheet. Scroll down for the all the links below!
