Brass Designer Series – The Ultimate Guide to Doing a Luxury Bath & Kitchen Design
Brass: Brass Elegance: Solving the Power Struggle in Bath & Kitchen Design
For discriminating homeowners, one of the most frustrating aspects of creating truly cohesive, high-end designs in kitchens and bathrooms has long been the difficulty in finding fixtures that complement the quality and aesthetic of custom countertops and surfaces. Off-the-shelf faucets can be disappointing, feeling too mass-produced with custom cabinetry, natural stone or artisan tile. Enter custom brass faucets and taps as the ultimate answer to luxury pain points. There is an innate kind of warmth, status, and elegance that only brass can deliver. Chrome and stainless steel cannot compare.
As Architectural Digest reports: Brass finishes are making a “comeback in high-end kitchens and baths,” with the metal adding an “inviting warm tone” and a “classic, aged look” to any space. Custom brass options make finishes (polished, satin, aged) bespoke, for fixtures that truly feel luxe and play well with other materials, such as marble or wood. This is the answer to the problem of splintered luxury.
While Pull Down Faucets provide greater flexibility for completing kitchen tasks such as filling pots or rinsing off food, Single Hole Faucets provide the clean, uncluttered look needed in modern design. Modifying these key styles with brass offers maximum functionality wrapped in prestige materiality. A Houzz kitchen trends study confirms the sentiment, stating faucet annoyance is one of the top daily pain points, therefore durability and ergonomics are not up for discussion.
The polish carries through to the bath. Custom designed brass bath faucets and coordinating kitchen accessories (soap dispensers, towel bars) are integrated throughout the home providing a sense of continuity and designer luxury.
Custom brass solves:
Material Contrast: Brass naturally complements luxurious finishes.
Copycat Character: Custom finishes mean no two will ever be the same… the high-end appeal is also yours.
Restricted Function: Available Pull Down ease or Single Hole simplicity in premium brass.
Disconnected Style: You’ll never have to settle for mismatched bath fixtures and kitchen accessories.
