Choosing the Perfect Tapware Finish

03 Mar 2025

When designing your dream bathroom or kitchen, tapware may seem like a small detail, but it plays a huge role in defining the overall aesthetic. The right tapware finish can enhance your space, creating a cohesive and stylish look that lasts for years. At Felton, we offer a stunning range of PVD finishes designed for durability and timeless appeal. Here’s how to choose the perfect tapware
finish for your space.


Consider Your Design Style
Your choice of tapware finish should complement the overall design of your bathroom or kitchen. Here are some popular styles and their ideal finishes:

Modern & Minimalist: Black, Brushed Nickel, or Brushed Gunmetal for a sleek, contemporary look.

Classic & Timeless: Chrome or Brushed Nickel for a bright, polished feel.

Luxurious & Opulent: Brushed Gold or Brushed Bronze for a warm, elegant aesthetic.

Match with Other Fixtures & Accessories
Consistency is key when selecting a tapware finish. To achieve a seamless design, coordinate your tapware with other fixtures such as robe hooks, toilet roll holders, hand towel holders, and pop-up wastes. Felton’s extensive range of PVD finishes ensures you can create a cohesive and harmonious look throughout your space.

Think About Maintenance & Durability
Different finishes have varying levels of maintenance requirements.

  • Chrome: Classic and easy to clean but may show water spots more prominently.
  • Black: Stylish and modern, though it may require more frequent cleaning to maintain its pristine look.
  • Brushed Finishes (Nickel, Gold, Gunmetal, Bronze): Excellent at hiding watermarks and fingerprints while adding a luxurious feel.

Felton’s PVD finishes offer superior durability, scratch resistance, and longevity, ensuring your
tapware maintains its beauty over time.

Consider Lighting & Space Size
The finish you choose can impact the perception of space. Lighter finishes like Chrome and Brushed Nickel reflect light, making smaller bathrooms or kitchens feel more spacious. Darker finishes like Black and Brushed Gunmetal create depth and contrast, ideal for larger spaces or statement designs.

Personal Preference & Trends
While trends come and go, your personal taste should be the deciding factor. If you love the warmth of Brushed Gold or the sophistication of Brushed Gunmetal, go for it! Felton’s high-quality finishes ensure that no matter your choice, your tapware remains stylish and long-lasting.
