Gun Metal Tapware

One of the most popular finishes of tapware at the moment and will be booming in 2023 will be the gunmetal tapware which is just a shade short of black so will be a tad softer.

Chrome

Chrome is your classic shiny bathroom tapware choice. Extremely neutral and works great in bathrooms where you are looking to blend your tapware into the background

Matt Black

Popular for many years the matt black tapware goes well with dark features and marble bathrooms. As always you can go with black and white walls for a more simple approach but I do love the marble and black finishes.

Copper

Copper tapware is new to the scene but works well with the homeowner looking for an alternative to the brushed brass tapware as it is darker less yellow or gold finish.

Brushed Nickel

Hugely popular in the last two years brushed nickel tapware has taken over from chrome as the most popular neutral bathroom tapware. The finish is brushed so it does add an organic feel to the bathroom.

Brushed Brass

Lastly, we have the brushed brass tapware which in the right bathroom can look amazing. I am always a little weary of the tapware as you do get some looking yellow or too gold but the right finish of brushed brass is a stunner.
