BRASSWARE & ACCESSORIES
Trends in brassware finishes turn taps into a statement piece

ith brassware now a focal point of the bathroom, the style of the tap or shower itself is now really at the fore. There is now an abundance of finishes available, as well as chrome, and these are often being chosen as a standout feature that brings warmth, character and a sense of luxury to the bathroom. Consumer confidence is growing when it comes to experimenting with more adventurous bathroom design, which is where the trend for making a statement with tap choice comes in. And overall, bathrooms are now less confined to clinical white, polished ceramic and a clean, contemporary feel.
Brass accents in soft tones, perhaps with a brushed finish, are one of the go-to looks to create a luxury vibe in the bathroom, and taps are an ideal way to introduce this trend to the home. This is an excellent material for combining with other on-trend looks, including natural stone and wood for a look that is in fashion but very much timeless too.
In fact, one of the great things about finishes like Brushed Nickel and Copper is that they won’t date the space. This is important to consumers, with elegant, timeless design being a big factor in brassware trends. Particularly when purchased as part of a complete refurbishment project, consumers are looking for sound investments from quality products that have longevity.
RAK – Amalfi has the perfect finishing touch R
esponding to the trend for mixing metals and materials in the bathroom and shower, RAK Ceramics offers over 30 tap ranges, with brassware in five finishes – Polished Chrome, Black Chrome, Brushed Gold, Matt Black and Brushed Nickel – across many of its most popular ranges.
RAK-Amalfi from RAK Ceramics encapsulates this trend perfectly, shifting the entire look and feel of the bathroom up a level while taking a
playful stance on mixing metals in bathroom design. Encouraging creativity, RAK-Amalfi does things differently, with handles that can be combined in several ways with the tap body, mixing metals for an individual look throughout the bathroom.
Luminous, bold, and eye-catching, RAK-Amalfi taps are available in Chrome, Brushed Gold, Matt Black and Brushed Nickel. The option to choose handles in contrasting finishes as an accessory adds personality. The series includes four different
basin taps and a multitude of bath and shower options to suit the needs of any modern, luxury bathroom and ensure that the brassware finish itself becomes a focal point of the bathroom.
