How to Pick The Right Shower Door Hardware Finish Color

Picking the glass and design for your shower door is one of the most important factors of your shower glass enclosure, but picking the perfect hardware color is another factor that also plays a big roll in your new shower glass door.
With there being plenty of options to choose from, we will take a look at shower door hardware options and colors, trends, etc.

Does the shower hardware need to match the other accessories in the bathroom?

When picking out the shower door hardware the easiest and most forthcoming approach is having the same finish as the faucets, shower handles, light fixtures, etc. Giving your bathroom a constructive and uniform look.

However, having all accessories and shower door hardware match does not have to be the case in all scenarios, you can also choose to have some contrast in the bathroom. For example, antique brass accessories such as towel bars, and faucets with a brush nickel finish hardware on your shower door can give your bathroom a great look and still tie the accessories and shower door together.
