The answer to that depends on your taste, and also the color of the brushed nickel. Each individual has their own way of seeing the world, and some people will like the two together, or say that they look similar, although to me, brushed nickel often looks less shiny. But I like that. :)
To help you decide if you like the combination of brushed nickel and stainless steel, you could:
--Buy the product and see if you like the look at home, but ask about the store's return policies first.
--You could also photograph the object in question and take that home to compare with what you have.

Does brushed steel look the same as brushed nickel?
Brushed steel and brushed nickel are popular finishes because they are good-looking and long-lasting. Both have similar surface qualities, because the same method is used to "brush", or finish the surface of the metals. However, the metals themselves have a different color: while they are both silvery, steel appears more blue (colder) than nickel, which has a more golden (warmer) hue. This is why nickel is generally used in period decor, while steel conveys a modern feel. They both react differently to magnets, too, so if you require a surface on which to hang Junior's latest art project, you'd better bring a small magnet to the appliance store to be sure. An important point to ascertain from the sales rep is whether the brushed steel you are looking at is in fact stainless steel - superior in almost every way to cold-rolled (non-stainless) steel, but much more expensive, and also non-magnetic. Stainless steel is not reactive to most of the damaging substances it would encounter in a kitchen or bath, for example. Also note: the brushed finish on these metals is a practical solution to their malleable nature - they will scratch, dent and show fingerprints. Newer brushing methods claim to reduce fingerprints, but let the buyer beware. In fact, bring Junior with you to the store and let him put his little hands all over the appliances. "Stainless" does not mean "maintenance-free", and isn't the idea to reduce your work? Both materials do make lovely and versatile finishes, and will last for decades.
