- Once you've designed your dream bath and selected the big ticket items like
the flooring, tiles, faucets and sinks - it's time to add the fun details and

sensibilities? Or will you lean toward rich, old world finishes to complete your
look?
If the choices seem overwhelming, start with this quiz to find the finish that's
best for you and your bath décor.
"Interior decorating can be an overwhelming process," says Tim Bitterman, senior
product and brand manager for Inspirations by Moen. "But once you know how to
find a look that suits you, the selection will fall into place."

Mostly A's: Shabby Chic
Your laid back personality requires a finish that makes a comfortable statement.
Wrought iron with its deep, rich black tone complements your relaxed personality
whether you have country-inspired decorating desires or love the look of
mismatched shabby chic.
Look for bath accessories that make a statement while complementing your
existing décor like the Stony Ridge accessory collection from Inspirations by
Moen. Towel rods, towel rings, paper holders and robe hooks feature a casual
design with birdcage-styled finials perfect for your easy decorating style.
Mostly B's: What's Old is New Again
You lean toward the past with a sense of nostalgia appreciating old world
finishes and classic pieces. Oil Rubbed Bronze or Antique Nickel finishes lend
an antique look that is hard to resist. Feel free to harmonize by using warm
colors, such as red, orange and gold. Incorporate old treasures you may have
stored in the attic to add to the look of the room. Some weathered postcards of
a European vacation spot or an antique suitcase will reflect your character in
the bath.
Mostly C's: Chrome Sweet Chrome
Your fashion forward personality looks for contemporary style with a clean
finish. The shiny, sturdy feel that radiates from this finish keeps your
bathroom visitors calm, cool and collected. The universal styling of Chrome
allows you to pair this with any style, color or accent.
Mostly D's: Traditional
The distinctive look of Brushed Nickel evokes warmth and history - perfect
for
your traditional personality. You stay true to the classics and incorporate dark
woods, clean lines and architectural accents into your décor. Complement this
look with strong colors in rich reds, navy blues and greens.
Now that you know how to determine your favorite finish, you'll soon be on the
right track to adding the perfect finishing touches to your bath - giving it the
right look for you and your personality.
