A bathroom goes by a number of monikers, but “comfort room” is perhaps the most accurate description. When designing or remodeling a bathroom, therefore, interior designers need to give it a sense of warmth so that it may live up to this title.
Luckily, doing so is neither difficult nor expensive thanks to brass, which has experienced something of a renaissance recently. Here are just a couple of ways you can incorporate it into the bathroom.
Doorknobs
There’s no better place to install brass than the bathroom door. The gold hue of the alloy gives the space an unmistakable touch of elegance from the get-go. What’s more, you can choose any from any number of door handle designs, from elaborate ones to more contemporary designs. It’s a simple tweak that immediately pays dividends, aesthetically speaking.
Fancy Faucets
The little things really do make the biggest impression, and upgrading bathroom faucets to brass ones indicate the owner’s discerning taste and attention to detail. The great thing is that interior designers have many options when it comes to finish. For the classic vintage look, go for standard brass, which offers that appealing gold-like appearance. If you want a more understated brand of elegance, you can go for brushed brass, which has very fine lines that add a bit of character to the surface.
Mirror Frames
For many homeowners, a mirror is a very functional part of their bathroom. However, interior designers can turn this otherwise boring fixture into a statement piece by using brass frames. Brass gives mirrors an old-world appeal, and gives the space a distinct feeling of warmth, making bathrooms more soothing to be in.
Showerhead
One of the main fixtures of the bathroom can also be rendered in brass. As for which style of showerhead to install, more and more homeowners are requesting for rain shower heads, which replicate the feeling of showering under the tropical rain. Of course, you can also use brass for the shower handle as well.
The bathroom is one of the most intimate spaces in a home, and brass fixtures help give it an extra sense of warmth, comfort, and sophistication. Luckily, there are companies that offer brass sales to interior designers so they can have all the options they need when revamping their clients’ bathrooms. They can also provide other variants of brass such as Muntz metal to suit your specific project requirements.
