Gold and silver is a great contrast for mixing metals. Mixing gold and silver is going to give the bathroom space a luxurious look. A cool-toned and warm-toned metal together actually balances the space really well. Wen, Q., Di, J., Jiang, L., Yu, J. H. & Xu, R. R. Zeolite-coated mesh film for efficient oil-water separation. Chem. Sci. 4, 591–595 (2013). where F b is the buoyant force of the oil in water, ρ o s the density of the oil, V o is the volume of the oil when intrusion occurs and S is the area of the mesh.

A time you can get away with only using a finish once is with a centred vanity mirror. Plus while using three metal finishes throughout the bathroom. Then the wall mirror then becomes a focal point instead of looking like a mistake. 4. Contrasting metals Almeda, R., Hyatt, C. & Buskey, E. J.

A larger size bathroom can push up to three finishes. That way, the bathroom design doesn’t get too busy. You want the bathroom to look visually interesting but not overwhelming. Yang, H. et al.

That being said, mixing your metals is a definitely a go ahead, there are some metal finishes that should match. The shower fixture and the sink faucets are a good pairing to match. Simply for unity to the design. And repeat a finish already used for the light fixtures. Preferably the same finish as the hardware on the vanities. This way all the finishes are repeated but not next to each other. 2. Decorative fixtures You, Y. S., Kang, S., Mauchauffé, R. & Moon, S. Y.

The best way to pull off this trend is to have different metals sitting next to each other. If you have a polished chrome faucet for your sink vanity then choose a different finish for the mirror hanging directly behind it.

The easiest way is to swap out your knobs and pulls on your vanities and cabinetry. If you want to go a step further you can find some spray finishes for the hardware instead of swapping the knobs and pulls entirely. Make sure you seal the sprayed finish with a clear sealant coat.

Only putting in your accent metal in one place will look like a mistake. Especially if you’re mixing only two metals.

Then choose one or two accent metals that will work well with your main metal and finish. The maximum separation flow rate (L m −2 h −1) capacity of each membrane was measured by injecting either water or oil and tuning the input liquid flow rate to reach a steady state, i.e. where the height of the liquid located in the mixing bath does not vary. The output flow rate is then measured and the maximal permeation rate of each liquid is obtained.
