What is the gunmetal tapware finish

The best way to describe gunmetal as a finish is to take a brushed nickel finish and make it three-quarters as darker falling a quarter short of matt black tapware.

It’s dark but not crazy dark adding a softness to the finish where black tapware is super aggressive and final.

It has a velvet-like sheen with a smooth matt finish appearance on most dark metal tapware finishes.

Pros and cons of gunmetal tapware

Below are the advantages and disadvantages of gun metal grey tapware

Advantages

• The finish pretty much is suitable for any modern bathroom styles
• Easier to maintain due to its matt finish

• Striking and stunning going with all grey bathrooms.

Disadvantages

• Hard to match to accessories finishes as limited availability
• Too bold for some people to handle
• Without a doubt will be low in stock where ever you are due to low demand
• Should be noted may cost more money due to the rareness
• Importantly anything different will take more time and consideration to pull the design trigger.

The best bathrooms to use gunmetal in

Unquestionably my favourite part of these is showing you the types of bathrooms to use gun metal tapware in.

The below examples are the colour schemes and styles that best suit dark brushed metal tapware.

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

The second style that goes well is the all-grey bathroom. All grey bathrooms that use a matt finish tile make the dark metal tapware pop and the tones are perfect.

The reason this grey tapware is better than matt black is the reason below as you can see in the Cassandra Walker-designed bathroom the lighter tapware matches so perfectly with those grey tiles black tapware would just dominate too much.

My Truth About Gunmetal Tapware

Here we are the time is here. My truth about gun tapware and as honest as I can get.

Let me start by saying that gunmetal tapware is beautiful the finish when you hold it feels stylish, looks expensive and you feel like you’re making something special.

Honestly, it just feels like an unnecessary alternative to black tapware as I feel most people will just either go matt black or brushed nickel which is the most popular and to me the longer-lasting finish in terms of style.

Like black tapware brushed metal grey tapware is dark and by being dark it will dominate your eyes making the tapware the star of your bathroom.

Clearly, if that is your plan then gun tapware is for you but I will be sticking with the brushed nickel for a little while longer.
