Why statement tapware should be your new favourite bathroom trend

Attempting to hide or blend in your tapware and fixtures are a thing of the past. This year, we’re seeing a range of different colours from brass gold to matte black that give simple white bathrooms a subtle and sophisticated twist. Your Home and Garden’s editor Shelley Ferguson believes gold or brass fittings and tapware are a great way to achieve a touch of old-world glamour “without seeming over the top”.

Matte black is also rising in popularity, and black shower heads and handles juxtaposed against a plain white tile wall is a particularly effective way to add complexity to a bathroom. As well as looking great, black fittings are a practical choice as they don’t show dirt or watermarks as easily as traditional chrome.
