When it comes to updating your kitchen or bathroom, selecting the right tapware colour can dramatically transform the look and feel of your space. Whether you're going for bold contrast or subtle elegance, the finish you choose can tie your design together beautifully.

At Blue Leaf Bathware & Tiles, we offer a wide range of high-quality tapware colours to suit every style and preference. To help you make the best choice, here are our top tips for choosing the right kitchen and bathroom tapware colours.

Kitchen and Bathroom Tapware Colours

1. Match Your Tapware Colour with Existing Fixtures

Start by taking a good look at your current fixtures—think cabinet handles, towel rails, shower frames, and lighting. Matching your tapware colour with these elements helps create a cohesive look. For instance, if your handles are black, our Black Tapware Collection can create a sleek, modern vibe.

2. Consider the Style of Your Space

Tapware should complement the overall style of your kitchen or bathroom.

• Modern or Industrial: Gun Metal Grey or Stainless Steel finishes are perfect for an edgy, industrial aesthetic.

• Classic or Traditional: Chrome Tapware offers a timeless and clean look.

• Luxury or Glamorous: Opt for Brushed Gold, Brushed Brass, or Champagne Tapware to add a touch of opulence.
  

3. Think About Maintenance and Cleaning

Certain tapware colours are easier to maintain than others. For example:

• Brushed finishes like Brushed Nickel and Brushed Brass are great at hiding fingerprints and water spots.

• Chrome is easy to clean but may require more frequent wiping to maintain its shine.

• Black and Copper finishes can show water marks more easily, so consider your cleaning habits before committing.
  

4. Create Contrast or Continuity

Want your tapware to stand out? Choose a finish that contrasts with your benchtops or splashback. For example, Copper Tapware against a marble or white background can be a striking feature.

For a more harmonious look, go for a finish that blends in. Our Stainless Steel Tapware pairs beautifully with neutral palettes for a seamless effect.

5. Choose the Right Colour Mixer for Each Room

The same mixer colour doesn’t need to be used in every room. Your kitchen mixer might make a statement with Brushed Gold, while your ensuite stays minimal with Brushed Nickel.

6. Stay on Trend but Think Long Term

Trends like Gun Metal Grey or Champagne are popular right now, but also consider longevity. Will you still love that colour in five or ten years?

If you’re unsure, opt for versatile classics like Chrome or Brushed Nickel, which never go out of style.

7. Visualise Your Tapware in the Space

Before making a final decision, visualise how the tapware colour will interact with your tiles, benchtops, and overall palette. Use mood boards, compare product images, and explore inspiration from real homes to help guide your choice.
