We are renovating and the contractor said we need to pick out the doors and hinges/door knobs. Thing is we have one gold themed bathroom and one silver. I think it’ll look funny to have different color hinges and knobs in different rooms on the same floor so we want to do one color across the floor. How do we decide what to do? I didn’t even decide on paint colors for bedrooms so I really don’t know what to do here.

Interesting! I would love to go with something that won’t look dated in a few years. Do you think that’ll be the case for black?

Do the same hinges and doorknobs on all the doors on that floor.
It means one of your bathrooms will have mixed metals, that’s fine, it’s even stylish now.
Don’t do black, it’s current and trendy but it will be out soon and you’re not going to replace your hinges and knobs.
What color to choose? Well, are you planning on selling any time soon? Nickel. Otherwise? Whatever color YOU prefer.

We actually may sell in the next few years. Why nickel?
If I don’t have a preference, which color is nicer, gold or nickel/silver?

I think silver blends in better and isn’t as showy, won’t stand out as much if that’s the look you’re aiming for.. otherwise do gold if you want it to stand out

Nickel is more nondescript than gold, in my opinion- less likely to be off-putting to potential buyers.
There are definitely those who would disagree
There are also some pretty glass knobs on the market that you might like, they’re usually paired with a dark bronze hinge, if that style works in your house that could also be a good option for you.
If you’re thinking of selling, think BORING, QUIET, NONDESCRIPT knobs. And the same for any other finishes you’ll be putting in. Anything with a strong style risks being off putting to future buyers.

Won’t nickel hinges and knobs look funny in a heavily gold bathroom?

The door hardware should be the same throughout the house. It doesn't matter what you are doing inside a specific bathroom. As long as the hardware in the bathroom matches, and the door hardware throughout the house matches, it's fine.
I would do satin nickel everywhere. Bronze/black only if you have a traditional/farmhouse style home.

Gold doesn't hold up. It's popular now but doesn't look nice in a few years.

Do a satin finish rather than a chrome finish
Satin finish are easier to maintain and don’t look spotty all the time
Also see if it’s possible to switch the knob on the inside of the bathroom to gold
If it’s the same model it will work
I have this on my front door
I live in a building
The outside knob is gold the inside is silver
Hinges to match which ever way the door swings, the hinges are seen most
