Oil-rubbed bronze finishes have an elegant look.
Bring a softer, richer ambience to a room by changing its bright yellow brass fixtures to a darkened, oil-rubbed bronze finish. Often the bright, almost fake-looking yellow of "builder's brass" finishes on light and sink fixtures stand out too much in contrast with what is otherwise an understated and muted decor in the bath, kitchen, dining room and anywhere else lamps and overhead light fixtures play a prominent part of the decor. Make any brass fixture fit in better with its surroundings by replacing that brash finish and giving it an oil-rubbed bronze look.
Instructions
1. Dab a clean, soft cloth in lacquer remover and rub the remover all over the fixture to remove any clear protective finish from the brass fixture. Follow up with an all-over buffing with a piece of fine steel wool.
