Brassware may be a small detail in the bathroom, but it’s one
that makes a lasting impression.
The right choice can enhance a scheme, adding a refined finish that ties the entire space together. Clearwater’s Head of Design Jorge Hernandez reveals this season’s standout styles, as well as expert tips on how to decorate with them.
MOODY MATT BLACK
One of the most impactful colourways for brassware is matt black, which is understated yet striking. Its velvety finish brings a sense of modernity to the bathroom.
Perfect in monochrome schemes, it pairs effortlessly with
classic checkerboard flooring and crisp white ceramics.
Alternatively, use it to add drama to colours like dusky pinks or deep cobalt blues.
Pair this up with another helpful solution for extra sensibility, such as a wall-mounted design that will clear up counter space.
The Huck Basin Mono Tap in Matt Black has soft lines, a
streamlined handle, and an ergonomic design
for comfortable usage.
BRILLIANT BRASS
Traditional brass remains a firm favourite, thanks to its soft glow and luxurious finish which adds instant warmth.
Brushed brass beautifully complements veined marble and can be elevated further by chic styling – think scented candles, fresh florals, and framed art.
Layer with rich tones such as olive green, burgundy or aubergine for real opulence.
It’s also important to reach for designs with tactile, textured details to improve the visual interest.
For example, The Calix Basin 3H Wall Mounted Tap Set in Brushed Brass has a minimalist design with beautiful knurling
accents and will bring an element of industrialism to the bathroom.
SPARKLING CHROME
For those who enjoy refreshing their interiors regularly, chrome brassware is a smart and stylish choice.
High-shine chrome adds a touch of glamour and polish, while still pairing brilliantly with nature-inspired shades and textures such as sage greens, soft beiges, and wood for a warm, organic feel. Carry the finish through to key details such as lighting,
hardware, and shelving brackets to keep the bathroom feeling cohesive.
When choosing a simple shade like this, be sure to lean into its simplicity in the design.
The Varda Basin 2H Wall Mounted Tap Set is slender and allows for smooth, easy movement.
CLASSIC BRUSHED METALLIC
Brushed metallic brassware is a trendy yet versatile option that
will add depth and character to bathrooms without the high shine intensity of polished finishes.
Set it against sophisticated cooler colours like whites, greys, and inky blacks, as well as materials like natural stone.
The brushed effect also makes it more forgiving when it comes to fingerprints and watermarks.
This enduring brassware colourway is especially appealing on
timeless designs such as The Clover Basin 3H Deck Mounted
Tap Set in Brushed Metallic. This has modernised crosshead
handles with crisp lines and easy-to-turn functionality.
