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.
