When selecting bathroom fixtures, from lighting to faucets, it’s important to balance trends with personal preferences. Gold fixtures, ranging from softer brushed bronze and champagne bronze to a bright and polished gold, offer a timeless aesthetic. Brushed or satin nickel finishes provide versatile options. As I design a bathroom, I consider the client’s color palette and preferences to guide selections.

Soft neutrals, whether warm or cool tones, create the perfect backdrop for tile and stone. Stone selection is key to any design, and using stone creatively can elevate the space – not just for vanities and backsplashes but also for features like vanity shelves or window wraps. If your stone has bold veins or vibrant colors, the right faucet finish can complement the dramatic effect. Inlaid stone handles add a classic touch and blend the metal with the stone materials.

Consider the room’s long-term use when making choices. Incorporating mosaics and accents in smaller elements, such as knobs or pulls, can enhance the artistry of your tile or stone. A great approach is to combine both: choose timeless, durable fixtures for essentials like faucets and sinks, and use trendy accents in smaller pieces like knobs or drawer pulls. These accents can be swapped out later if trends change, offering flexibility. Ultimately, your bathroom should be both functional and stylish, with a form and flow that adapt to your needs over time.
