Bathroom with a personal touch
A bathroom is a place you use several times a day. That's why it's worth ensuring not only its functionality but also a beautiful appearance that perfectly matches your taste as well as the size and characteristics of the room. What looks tasteful in one bathroom may not work in another, so when choosing bathroom accessories, follow your preferences. After all, you will be the one looking at them every day.
Nowadays, there is a huge choice of sanitary ceramics, taps, tiles, and additional bathroom decoration elements on the market. Their prices are very varied, so even if you don't have a huge budget, you can design a bathroom in your own style. There is a lot of inspiration out there, so it's worth browsing catalogues and websites that showcase bathroom furnishings to find something for yourself based on them.
As for bathroom taps, until now, chrome taps without additional colours have been very popular. This was because they were the most readily available and cheapest. Colourful taps used to cost several times more than traditional chrome ones. Fortunately, this trend is changing now, and colourful taps, mainly black, are becoming popular and easily available. They can be bought even in DIY stores without spending a fortune.
If you're aiming for a unique look for your bathroom and like less typical solutions, black taps will appeal to you. Black is a universal colour, so you can easily combine it with other colours in your bathroom. However, it goes without saying that it typically combines best with white.
Elegant and modern
A black tap will especially appeal to you if you prefer a modern or industrial style. Such styling of living rooms and kitchens has been popular for some time, and now this trend is also entering bathrooms. If you combine a black tap with a white basin in a simple, cubist shape, you will achieve a modern look reminiscent of industrial interiors.
A black tap is a strong colour accent in the bathroom, so it's worth choosing accessories to match. If you want it to stand out as the main decoration of the bathroom, ensure that they are in muted colours or preferably black and white. If there are too many accessories and they are in vibrant colours, the black tap will visually disappear in their surroundings.
Black is an extremely elegant colour, so if industrial style is not quite your thing, but you just care about an elegant bathroom finish, it's worth taking a closer look at taps in this colour regardless. Depending on which basin you pair it with, you can achieve any stylistic effect. Black taps are mainly available in a modern style, but not exclusively. You can choose a simple model, in a traditional shape, which will look beautifully in a classically arranged interior.
Is black a good choice?
Some people have doubts about whether using black in places such as the washbasin or shower enclosure is a good idea. On the one hand, they worry about breaking the classic trend of chrome taps, fearing that black won't match the bathroom and will look unattractive. If you have similar concerns, remember that black is a very universal colour that suits most hues. With a black tap, you can give your bathroom the desired style using just one element—a black tap. Depending on the model chosen, you can match it to your furnishings and create a cohesive stylistic whole.
Another common concern is that a black tap will easily show dirt and be difficult to keep clean. On black, all marks and deposits are more visible than on a chrome surface. Partially, this is true, but note that the area around the basin needs to be cleaned regularly anyway, and watermarks and deposits will also appear on the chrome tap if it's not cleaned regularly.
Furthermore, manufacturers coat the tap with a special layer that prevents dirt from adhering and allows you to enjoy immaculate faucets for longer. Therefore, concerns about dirt adherence are unfounded in this case.
As you can see, there is no reason to fear installing a black tap in your bathroom. Whether you prefer a classic, industrial or modern style, such a tap will work for you and give your space a beautiful and unique look. See for yourself that one small element can transform your bathroom and make spending time there a pleasure.
