This year, bathroom faucets have truly come into their own as a design statement. Innovative designs make them stylish centerpieces of the modern bathroom, adding an eye-catching appeal that perfectly accentuates the aesthetic. 

Some of these faucets incorporate motion sensors and even digital displays, generating increased water efficiency and unleashing new possibilities for interactivity. 

With luxurious materials like chrome, bronze, and copper gracing many models, they also bring a high level of sophistication to any decor setting. Let’s look at the trends that are driving faucet choices and the most popular faucets on Roomhints that go with them.

1. Matte Black Bathroom Faucets

Matte black faucets are a rapidly growing trend in home decor, as they combine sophistication and timelessness with current modern styles. 

Not only do matte black faucets look beautiful but they also provide contrast to lighter colored countertops, harmonizing well with nearly any kind of interior design that focuses on complexity and refinement. 

The subtlety of their finish creates an unexpected visual impact when paired with natural wood cabinets or white marble countertops, giving kitchens and bathrooms an upscale feel. Matte black faucets are also highly versatile, able to fit into minimalist or traditional elaborate designs without losing its stylish identity.

2. Brushed Nickel

Brushed nickel faucets are becoming increasingly popular for their classic and luxurious aesthetic. 

What makes brushed nickel stand out from other metals is its elegant look -  a gleaming silver-gray finish that strikes an attractive balance between a bright, shiny chrome and an understated matte silver. The soft, muted hue of brushed nickel works perfectly as an accent piece that's not too flashy but adds a sleek sophistication to your space. 

It pairs perfectly with any kind of stone countertop, creating a timeless appeal in contemporary to traditional spaces alike. Not only is it a versatile finish for bathroom fixtures, but it also serves as an accent piece that perfectly harmonizes with both warm and cool tones. 

Brushed nickel is also a long-lasting choice, its resistance to corrosion ensures durability and longevity, making it a smart and stylish investment for years to come. They tend to be highly durable due to the process of brushing them in fractions, resulting in a more spot- and fingerprint-resistant surface when compared to other finishes.

3. Oil Rubbed Bronze

Oil rubbed bronze faucets offer a luxurious, yet simple and classic look for any modern bathroom remodel. 

The oil-based finish gives the faucet a unique vintage hue, providing a subtle shading to coordinate with muted paint colors or playful pastels. Their warm color pairs best with contemporary furnishing accents, such as a black stone vanity basin or white floor tiles; they can add the perfect touch of personality to your renovation project. 

A “living finish” means it lends itself to bringing a history and story to your bathroom design. This is a perfect choice for a traditionally curated bathroom space.

4. Mixed Finishes

Mixed finishes in bathroom fixtures offer a great way to elevate the look of any bathroom space and create a dynamic centerpiece. 

By combining materials such as porcelain and metal, brass and chrome, you can create a stunning aesthetic effect that is truly eye-catching. Not only will these fixtures add interest to your design scheme, but they are also built to last the test of time: porcelain is highly resistant to staining and metal or chrome components give timeless use with an industrial edge. 

Mixing different finishes opens up an almost endless array of possibilities when it comes to creating your dream bathroom. From traditional brass fixtures with porcelain handles or mixed finishes featuring brushed, polished, or hammered textures, blending elements can create layers of visual interest in your bathroom.

5. Wall Mounted 

Wall mounted bathroom faucets have become more and more popular in recent years. We may be swayed by their stylish looks, but they offer much more than just a modern aesthetic – their space maximization capabilities are unparallelled! 

By mounting the faucet on the wall directly above the sink (or even further away for spacious bathrooms) you can free up valuable space near the countertop or basin, allowing for larger items like accessories or extra storage containers. 

This design also helps reduce clutter from counters and lets you make a bold design statement; one that's sure to stand out and travel along visual trends well into the future as a timeless design choice.
