Hall bath has brass tub/shower stall. DN like but no plan to change. Bronze sink faucet & towel ring OK?

I am considering oil bronze fixtures (towel ring, sink faucet and light fixture over sink). I would not have chosen brass for the shower/tub stall, but it came with the house and it is done well and actually looks nice. So, it's not worth re-doing it. However, I don't want to add more brass in the room with brass fixtures. I know there are brass/chrome combo fixtures, but they're not my first choice. Walls are painted red, but I'm considering a neutral Venetian plaster. Floor is a light travertine. There is also white bead board around the small room (I'm not sure how to figure out what is underneath, but would consider removing). Inside the standard sized tub/shower is white tile. There is also one window I need a shade/blinds for.Hall bath has brass tub/shower stall. DN like but no plan to change. Bronze sink faucet %26amp; towel ring OK?
I'm a big brass fan, so my advice would be to go with more of it:) But, with the fixtures being in the shower, probably not many people see them anyway, and if you have a door or curtain, you're basically free to go with whatever you want to:) I just think that brass gives things a nice ';rich'; look, and if you keep the red, it would look great with it. On the beadboard~having it up the wall 1/2 way, will make your room look larger, so instead of removing it, try painting it (IF you don't want to keep the white) and putting wallpaper on the top 1/2 of the walls. It kinda' sounds like you are going to have too much going on, with the tile floor, different tile shower, beadboard and then adding plaster to all of that, so leaving the beadboard white, so that it still matches the tile in the shower, might be the better idea:) Or chance it, and take it off and ';plaster'; the whole wall. There is most likely just dry-wall under it. Pull off one strip and peek;)

Go with the oil rubbed bronze fixtures that you are considering. They almost serve as a ';neutral'; in the room, since they are chocolat-y brown and not shiney metallic like the bright, polished brass. The oil rubbed bronze are also more modern.
