WHAT FINISH IS RIGHT F OR YOUR BATHROOM? CHROME BRUSHED GOLD

The cool silvery Chrome finish exercises unique appeal. This metallic highlight coordinates ideally with matt surfaces. Its sheen combines beautifully with natural materials such as light wood, natural stone and tiles in a slate or concrete look. In terms of colours, Chrome harmonises ideally with green shades which also reflect the natural theme of the textures.

BRUSHED NICKEL MATT BLACK

A more modern and puristic look is hard to find: Brushed Nickel expresses the softer side of the metallic look. In contrast to Chrome, this finish creates a warm effect. It brings a feeling of peace and a soft shimmer into the bathroom. Brushed Nickel coordinates particularly well with shades in a watery theme – from light turquoise to anthracite green.

Matt Black is a trend that is set to continue thanks to its impressive effect: black highlights in the bathroom create a mystical, minimalist and modern atmosphere. The strong contrast creates an impression of balance in light bathrooms and adds a masculine note. At the same time, black taps make wood really stand out.

Brushed Gold is the ultimate eye-catcher in the bathroom. Gold doesn’t necessarily need to look opulent. It can act as a warm contrast for a feeling of cosiness and homeliness in a room. Brushed Gold combines well with delicate pastel shades. Or with dark hues such as anthracite, emerald green or cobalt blue, which emphasise its radiance and create a romantic and intimate atmosphere.
