White bathroom tapware was big in the ’90s but in the 2020s white tapware is not your mum and dad’s tapware it’s your stylish new-age tapware.
Matt Tapware is back maybe not with a bang but with an aggressive wave telling you to take notice.
Like all new-age bathroom tapware, there is a wide variety of pros and cons you need to take into account when you are making a purchase. Jim is here to help you through these decisions with my breakdown of the pros and cons of white tapware.

Pros of White Taps
Below we cover three pros of matt tapware that I think you need to know.
- Goes With White Bathrooms
- Goes With Modern Grey Bathrooms
- The Right Type Of WOW Factor

White and Grey
Grey bathrooms are booming and do you know what goes great with a grey bathroom you guessed it white tapware. White bathroom tapware goes so well with cold colours and tones and the grey bathroom- matt tapware combo below is an amazing example.

White Bathroom Tapware On White Bathrooms
White tapware looks probably best either against a black background or a white finish. This white finish can be either a straight white or a marble white like the example below that really blend well and soften the space.

As you can tell the biggest pro of white tapware is how it can go with so many shades or finishes.
The flexibility of the tapware and the softness it offers is a big advantage when trying to put your next bathroom, laundry or kitchen renovation together. If you have a style most likely white bathroom tapware with go with your dream bathroom design.

WOW FACTOR YOU CAN NOT ALWAYS SEE
With white tapware, it looks stunning in person. As someone who has taken thousands of bathroom photos often anything matt-based does not pop the way you would love it to unless all the stars align.
With matt tapware, it has a wow factor in person especially placed against a nice back grout but it also does not dominate so if you are looking for tapware when someone sees it they say “WOW” (in a good way) you have come to the right place with matt tapware.

Cons Of Light Tapware
Below we cover the three cons I find with white tapware.
- Scratch Easier Than Other Tapware Finishes
- White Can Get Dirty
- You Need To Take More

Itchy and Scratchy
Like most matt tapware such as black tapware, there is a high degree of chance you could mark or scratch your tapware.
Furthermore, the surface is delicate in comparison to chrome finishes so you will need to take extra care. With anything that has a white surface (my wife won’t let me have white jeans – cant trust me), you will most likely need to be extra careful from any product that can change or tarnish the colour.

Dirty Fingers
Tap handles can get filthy from grubby dirty fingers hands, so be mindful of who will use the bathroom and how the taps will be used. If you have kids or a messy partner you can not trust to keep the white clean it’s probably best to avoid them altogether.

More Mindful
So lastly the biggest con really of bathroom tapware is you just need to be more mindful when using the product.
You need to be careful not to chip the enamel and also not place dirt constantly around the tapware. Please avoid using abrasive cleaners on white taps.
Always go for a liquid detergent – it will give the taps a greater shine and maintain the colour.
