With a vast array of choice, tapware has been elevated from a functional must-have to an opportunity to add major style factor. Sexy black tapware has been a steady trend for some time now and shows no signs of slowing down. It makes a stylish and confident statement that is contemporary yet classic. Paired with white bathware to create a monochromatic room the contrast is striking and sculptural. Soften the contrast by combining with warm metallics such as copper and brass and the balance of timber tones. It will accentuate the veins in marble for a sophisticated look and works equally well with raw industrial elements of concrete and burnished metals. So, will it date? In my opinion, if it relates well to the other elements in the room, black has timeless style.
