Each year brings new trends for kitchen and bathroom fixtures, but some styles also stay popular perennially. Bringing a new coziness or warmth to a room is often as easy as installing faucets and other fixtures with a specific finish. There’s no one warm tone to choose from for new bath and kitchen faucets. From shiny copper to reserved polished nickel, there is a trendy warm tone finish for every remodeling project.

Sophisticated Classic Style

For a kitchen or bathroom decorated in a classic style, both brass and bronze are good choices for introducing warm tones. Brass comes in a variety of finish options that all exude warmth, ranging from polished to darker oil-rubbed tones. Polished bronze is very warm, but darker oil-rubbed bronze faucets still have a warmer look than matte black. If the room needs the contrast of a dark finish without losing warmth, this finish is a great choice.

Stylish Modern Fixtures

There’s a common misconception that warm tones are automatically classic in style when used for kitchen and bathroom fixtures. But plenty of modern finishes and styles offer a warm rather than a cool-toned look. For example, polished nickel has the sleek look of chrome with a slight gold tint. This gives the finish warmth that doesn’t distract from its modern look when paired with the right faucet design. Oil-rubbed bronze is another warm faucet finish that easily blends into the contemporary bathroom or kitchen.

Going for Gold or Copper

For a more exotic touch of warmth that looks great in an eclectic kitchen or bathroom, think outside of the usual finishes. Faucets with hints of rose gold or copper are great for elevating a plain room to a whole new level of interior design. These faucets truly draw attention and become the centerpiece of the room, especially when paired with the right vessel or undermount sink. These finishes are available for both kitchens and bathrooms, making it possible to use them throughout the home to tie rooms together too.
