Antique brass tapware is trending at a remarkable rate in the 2020s. The reason for this is a few factors but for it is driven by a new to create personable spaces that reflect an owner’s lifestyle and home design.

Though a little different this style of tapware can be used to create someone more special than your average tapware finishes.

Below I will cover a few topics to get to the honest opinion of gunmetal tapware

• Describing the finish of the tapware
• Pros and Cons of brass
• Best bathrooms to have the antique brass finish
• Where to buy it

What is the antique brass tapware finish

Importantly for me the best way to describe antique brass as a tapware finish is a dark rustic almost worn type of finish.

Indeed it is a little dark compared to a brushed copper or a rose gold

Definitely, a little textured when you touch it going from smooth to grippy on some finishes and other more modern ones are smooth.

Pros and cons of Antique Brass Tapware

Below are the advantages and disadvantages of antique brass

ADVANTAGES

• Organic Tones – Providing a natural feel that very few bathroom tapware can provide
• Farmhouse – Completely goes with country-style homes or rustic spaces
• Easy To Clean – Super easy to clean as they often do not show makes like a chrome finish.

DISADVANTAGES

• Lack Of Choice – Probably the biggest con with any new tapware is you do not have a lot of options in the copper tapware, this really impacts your accessories etc as matching everything can be a nightmare
• Matching Items Is Hard – With new bathroom finishes you will only have one or two designs with towel fittings so it can be annoying
• Depending if it is living tapware or not it may tarnish over time

The best bathrooms use for antique brass

Above all, I am a visual type of person. This means I can describe something you need to see it to make that crucial decision on whether to purchase.

The below examples are the colour schemes and styles that best suit.

Antique brass bathrooms are almost always cold bathrooms. The tone will be greys and whites but can have a touch of colour in a bold feature.

Timber vanities work best as they add to the organic feel

Furthermore, the second style that goes well is white with a dark colour finish like the example below but be careful with the colour you use.

Last but not least the option for all grey tiles in one tile is a way of making that natural feeling bathroom combined with the antique finish.

Final Thoughts

Finally, I will give you thoughts on antique brass tapware. For me, it is super difficult to have the regular home renovator incorporate this type of antique tapware into there bathroom.

Whereas chrome or black is an easy sell the very unique nature of antique brass takes a lot of planning and vision to not end up with a mess of space.

Lastly always remember doing something different is a plus but if it does not go with your space try not to do it but hey it’s your bathroom and your money so do as you please.

Always remember my advice is general in nature and always speak to your local supplier or tradesman to get the best result for your bathroom renovation.
