The right showerhead and faucet for your bathroom’s shower area is a matter of preference. In addition to choosing between a standard or contemporary type, another thing you should consider is the finish. Fortunately, you have a wide variety of options, allowing you to pick the one that best fits your shower enclosure.
Here are the five of the most popular shower fixture finishes that are worth considering.
1. Chrome
Chrome is arguably the most common and most popular finish found in most bathrooms. Apart from the fact that it works well with all home styles, it is also inexpensive and easy to maintain. It’s also durable and easy to find and match with accessories and other fixtures.
2. Polished Nickel
Polished nickel is a great alternative if you are looking for another option other than chrome that is easy to clean and maintain. It is made of nickel plating on brass, which is then polished to provide a luxurious finish. If coated with lacquer, polished nickel won’t tarnish over time.
3. Brushed Nickel
Known for its warm, earthy tone, many homeowners find faucets and fixtures with a brushed nickel finish more appealing. Shower and bathtub replacement contractors note that its brownish hue works well against stark-white bathroom sinks, tiled backsplash and countertops made of marble, granite or slate.
4. Polished Brass
It may not be used quite as often as chrome, but polished brass looks great in both vintage and modern bathrooms. Faucets and bathroom fixtures coated with this golden finish can add a metallic flair to the entire space without looking out of place.
5. Oil-Rubbed Bronze
This finish is chemically darkened surface to simulate the appearance of aged bronze. Its color varies from a deep brown to a dark gray with a touch of copper. Perfect for rustic, down-to-earth spaces, this finish is suited for traditional bathrooms that exude an Old World vibe.
