Be inspired to use brass in your bathroom

While copper dominated as the metallic of choice for many years, a new hero has emerged — brass!

Tapware and bathroom hardware brands have all cottoned on and you can now find every bathroom accessory and piece of hardware you need in brass.

While it may seem risky to commit to such a bold bathroom trend, brass is a timeless and beautiful material. There are many times of brass finishes, including polished brass (for that shiny look), brushed brass (a more muted version and our fave), aged brass (a darker and grungier type of brass) or living brass (untreated brass that will patina and change colour with time).

Here are some stunning bathrooms that all use brass to inspire you to embrace this hot new metallic!

Or to put a more masculine spin on this trend, consider using concrete-look tiles and darker timber joinery.

Is it weird to have a toilet roll holder on your shopping wish list? Not when it’s this darn hot!!

If all brass is a bit much for you, consider adding just a statement piece like these twin pendant lights.

This has got to be one of the most stunning powder rooms we ever did see! Using aged brass, that oversized round mirror and mini white herringbone wall really make the space.
