Styling your Bathroom: Brushed Brass

Brushed brass with its warmer tones has been pushing aside more traditional finishes like chrome and nickel as of late. It is an unexpectedly subtle alternative to other metallic finishes available and is being chosen more and more often to add a touch of tasteful luxury to bathrooms and other areas of the home.

One of aspects that makes brushed brass so compelling is that it is a fresh aesthetic that doesn’t look dated. It’s the modern take on ‘gold’ that backs away from looking too ‘blingy’ in favour of an understated elegance.

Brushed brass is versatile in that it works well with both modern and traditional looks and is now widely available from a range of different well known and desirable manufacturers. Is works well with stark and clean colours like white and black as well as being ideal for softer tones like pastels, bolder tones or earthy looks that incorporate wood and stone.

The brushed texture has a benefit when it comes to cleaning and maintenance as it is less prone to showing fingerprints and water marks compared to metallic polished finishes.

Brushed brass offers that warm inviting palette in comparison to other popular finish choices like chrome or matt black. The blend of warmth and versatility is what sets brushed brass apart and led to it becoming less ‘current trend’ and more ‘timeless appeal’.

Brushed brass is simple to clean and maintain.  Clean with a gentle soap, such as dish soap, with water when needed and avoid any harsh chemicals. After cleaning dry with a clean cloth to avoid any watermarks! And don't fret if you live in a hard water area, as brushed brass is relativley resistant to tarnishing and corrosion especially if cleaned and dryed regularly.
