When it comes to bathroom design, it’s the small details that make the biggest impact. One of the most important (and most overlooked) design decisions is choosing the right finish for your fixtures. Whether you’re installing a new tap, shower valve, or towel rail, the finish you choose—brass, black, or chrome—can completely transform the look and feel of your bathroom.
At Royal Bathrooms, you’ll find a wide range of high-quality bathroom products in all three finishes. But how do you know which one is right for your space? Let’s break it down.
Chrome: Classic and Timeless
Chrome is a safe and stylish choice for any bathroom. Its shiny, mirror-like finish works beautifully in both modern and traditional interiors. It reflects light, which is especially helpful in smaller or darker bathrooms, and it’s incredibly easy to clean.
Royal Bathrooms offers a number of chrome-finished products that combine durability and elegance. One standout is the Cube Mono Basin Mixer Tap in Chrome, known for its sleek look and easy single-lever control. Pair it with a Chrome Thermostatic Shower Set for a cohesive, polished feel throughout the room.
If you’re aiming for a clean, contemporary aesthetic that won’t go out of style, chrome is the way to go.
Black: Bold and Modern
Black bathroom fixtures are having a serious design moment—and for good reason. Matte black adds depth, drama, and contrast to your space, especially when paired with white tiles, natural wood, or marble-effect surfaces.
One of the most popular items at Royal Bathrooms right now is the Matt Black Shower Set with Thermostatic Controls. It not only looks striking but also offers excellent functionality and temperature control. To complete the look, consider the Matt Black Basin Mixer Tap or a matching Black Frame Shower Enclosure, which makes a bold statement without overwhelming the room.
Black finishes are ideal for those who want a bathroom that feels upscale, urban, and just a little bit daring.
Brass: Warm and Luxurious
If you’re leaning toward a touch of vintage elegance or a warm, inviting atmosphere, brass might be the perfect pick. Brass finishes—especially in a brushed or satin style—add a sense of richness and charm to any bathroom.
The new Brushed Brass Collection at Royal Bathrooms includes everything from taps to towel bars. The Brushed Brass Basin Tap is a standout, offering a luxurious feel while maintaining subtlety. Pair it with a Brushed Brass Shower Kit or accessories like a brass soap dispenser for a beautifully coordinated space.
Brass works wonderfully in both traditional and eclectic bathroom designs, especially when paired with muted colours like sage green, navy blue, or ivory.
How to Decide? Consider Style, Maintenance, and Mood
Choosing the right finish depends on your personal style, how much maintenance you’re comfortable with, and the mood you want to create. Chrome is low-maintenance and versatile. Black offers a contemporary edge but may show water spots more easily. Brass delivers warmth and sophistication but requires gentle cleaning to maintain its shine.
At Royal Bathrooms, you’ll find a finish to suit every taste and every space. With their wide selection of high-quality, on-trend fixtures, upgrading your bathroom has never been easier—or more stylish.
Royal Bathrooms makes it simple to create a space you’ll love—down to the very last detail.
