Our Top Picks: Bathroom Tap Edition

By: Real Stone and Tile | Posted: July 17, 2023 in Blog

Introducing our 'Top Picks' series - aimed at showcasing a selection of our favourite products based on the latest & most highly sought-after trends on the market, from brands available to shop at our showroom!

As part of this wider trend-led series, we are delighted to kickstart this month by sharing our collation of 'top bathroom taps' to inspire your next interior project.


Bronze, Brass & Gold Tones

Rose gold, brass & bronze tones have surged in popularity in recent years, receiving strong backing from leading interior titles that frequently refer to the palette's ability to introduce a vintage feel to even the most contemporary of interiors.

Due to this increase in demand, we have seen that many of the leading brassware designers are launching their own takes on the trend, with many brands now boasting both worn-looking 'brushed metals' as well as polished gold & rose gold shades in a variety of styles to suit every home.

Here at Real Stone, Tile & Bathroom, we are proud stockists of BAGNODESIGN, which offers a whole host of products to cover the entire bathroom renovation, including a portfolio of premium-quality mixers which are predominantly produced around Lake Orta in Northern Italy, where craftsmanship in producing brass products dates back centuries.

Covering a wide range of styles from clean contemporary to classical retro, BAGNODESIGN is recognised globally within the design community as an innovator in mixers, both in product design, and in offering new finishes to compliment each individual taste, such as the unique new PVD Santiago shade.

Our Top Picks: 1. Orology Mono Basin Mixer in Soft Bronze, 2. Bristol 3 Hole Concealed Basin Mixer with Cross Handles in Santiago, 3. Teatro Mono Basin Mixer in Soft Bronze, 4. Bristol Mono Basin Mixer in Santiago.

Top Tip: When shopping for a smaller space, opting for a wall-mounted bathroom mixer such as BAGNODESIGN's 'Bristol 3 Hole Concealed Basin Mixer in Santiago' makes a great choice for streamlining as it is plumbed into your bathroom splashback, which in turn allows more room for storage accessories (such as toothbrush holders & soap dishes) to be placed on the basin.

Why Warm Metal Tones are Here To Last:

It has become apparent that many of the most coveted interior design trends are simply re-lapses from the past, with bronze, brass & gold shades holding no exception to this theory.

For many a decade, warm metal tones had been a hugely popular choice for brassware & home accessories as they were considered to bring a luxurious feel to the home.

Following the revival of glamourous Art Deco design, we are starting to see a switch from the classic chrome & silver shades that dominated the market for a number of years, with many customers now turning their heads to warmer tones.


Statement Dark Shades

Many of us are immediately daunted when we think of placing darker shades of any colour within our homes, with something as bold as black not even being up for consideration – but what if we told you that adding just a hint of a darker tone such as black or anthracite grey to your space will work to create a fabulous contrast and in-fact enhance the brighter shades that already exist within your interior, as well as adding an overall eye-catching statement piece.

Another trusted brand that we are incredibly proud to stock here at Real Stone, Tile & Bathroom is Just Taps UK, which prides itself on being a specialist in the tap & shower industry. Using only the highest quality raw materials to deliver a vast range of stunning brassware options, Just Taps' products are available in staple shades that include Brushed Black & Matt Black.


Our Top Picks: 1. Orology Mono Basin Mixer in Anthracite, 2. EVO Single Lever Basin Mixer in Matt Black, 3. EVO 3 Hole Deck Mounted Basin Mixer, 4. Revolution 3 Hole Concealed Basin Mixer in Anthracite.
