Bronze Tapware

What bronze tapware looks like

Bronze sits between brass and gunmetal. It has the warmth of brass, but in a deeper, browner tone that looks softer and less shiny. It is a good choice when gold feels too bright and black feels too stark. Finish names vary by brand, such as brushed bronze, lustre bronze and tiger bronze, and the tones differ slightly, so compare the swatch on each product page.

Ranges in bronze

• Caroma: Liano II, Riviere and Contura II tapware, showers and accessories, including freestanding bath fillers, mid tower and tower basin mixers and heated towel rails.
• Meir: the Round, Piccola and Curvaé designs, from basin mixers and wall spouts to combination shower rails and robe hooks.

Bronze is offered across basin mixers, wall mixers, spouts, shower sets, kitchen mixers, towel rails and toilet roll holders, so you can carry it through the whole room.

Tiles and vanities that suit bronze

Bronze loves earthy, natural colours.

• Stone and stone looks: warm travertine and limestone tiles bring out the brown in bronze.
• Terracotta and clay: terracotta tiles and handmade looks give a relaxed, Mediterranean feel.
• Greens: sage green tiles or zellige in deep green make bronze glow.
• Timber: walnut and oak vanities, or a fluted timber front, sit well with a bronze mixer.

Caring for bronze tapware

Bronze tapware has a protective finish, so it does not need polishing. Clean it with warm water, mild soap and a soft cloth, and dry it to stop water spots. Avoid scourers, polishes and harsh chemical sprays, which can scratch or dull the surface. Because finishes differ between brands, try to buy every bronze piece for one room from the same brand.
