Metallic looks have been bathroom favourites for some time, and this year they are appearing everywhere, from tiles and worktops to lighting, taps and even flooring. Embrace their welcoming glow.
We now seek more warmth and comfort in our spaces than before. Designers and architects express these wishes through different perspectives, from decorating styles to lifestyle trends. In bathrooms in particular, this search for warmth is making room for softer metallics such as matt, brushed champagne gold, bronze and brass, as we move a little away from polished chrome. Here is how to bring this new generation of metallics into your bathroom.
As neutral and earthy shades join warmer tones in bathrooms, matt, brushed brass and bronze finishes have become a sought-after pairing in bathroom projects. Their tones create a warm contrast with modern designs, whether used on fittings or tiles. For balanced shimmer on the walls, explore Çanakkale Seramik’s Formart Vanity, Orientile Rumi and Calacatta series, and Kalebodur’s Royal Marbles collection.
Those planning a modern bathroom or refreshing an existing one are increasingly choosing brushed, matt metallic surfaces and finishes over polished metals for a more contemporary, minimal appearance. We also suggest resisting the need to stick to a single finish, as mixing metals within the same space is on the rise.
Metallic accents naturally reflect light, making them a wonderful way to help a space feel brighter. You may particularly want to use this effect in a small bathroom. Metallic tones in tiles or metal accents can create a decorative shimmer that feels distinctive and beautiful, not only in bathrooms but throughout the home.
Fittings with matt chrome accents paired with Carrara marble bring understated elegance to classical bathrooms. Recreate the look with the Kale Banyo Karina basin tap and marble-effect wall and floor tiles from the Çanakkale Seramik Carrara series. This timeless combination gives the bathroom a clean, simple appearance that feels as luxurious as it is elegant.
There are many complementary elements and accessories that can add metallic touches to a bathroom. Alongside shower rails, towel rails, soap dishes, drawer handles and toilet brushes, consider concealed cistern flush plates, drainage channels, basin wastes, shower drains, taps and valves, shower doors, connectors and profiles. Their usual polished chrome finishes can be replaced with warm metallics.
With decorative bathroom lighting in focus this year, keep an open mind when making your choices. Include unusual designs, from vanity lighting and pendants to wall lights and recessed fittings. And since warm metallics are our theme, make sure your choices shine.
