Traditionally, finishes for tapware have been extremely limited. Versatility and customisation were rare – limited to a choice of gold or chrome. Only recently have the options for tapware finishes evolved and expanded, permitting creativity and more intricate design. Today finishes not only involve colour and tone but also surface texture; the selection of brushed, smooth, shiny or matte adds to the style and detail of interiors.
Whether it be for traditional, modern, rustic, industrial, or retro interior spaces, this new variety in tapware finishes allows designers and homeowners to add something unique to their kitchen and bathroom spaces.
Classic metals
A traditional Chrome finish can never go wrong — its sleek, versatile quality suits a wide variety of colours and styles already used within spaces. A flexible and classic tone, Chrome tapware also compliments different design styles and textures, such as industrial timber shelving, elegant stone benches or contemporary monochromatic colour schemes.
The Brushed Nickel finish is unique in its soft, satin aesthetic quality. Its warm, smooth metallic appearance works well with more rustic and industrial styles, suiting white and lighter coloured granite or marble surfaces, as well as giving stainless steel sinks an added personality.
Matte Brushed Nickel is a beautiful finish showcased in Phoenix Tapware’s internationally award-winning Orthodox collection. Giving the Brushed Nickel a matte texture creates a distinctive, silky quality that will elevate any bathroom or kitchen space.
On the more cooler-toned side of finishes is Gunmetal, exuding a contemporary feel. Its soft, matte aesthetic quality adds sophistication to spaces with white or grey tones. Alternatively, Gunmetal tapware can be warmed up with neutral colours, timber or brick, proving flexibility in its application.
Brushed Gold is a contemporary, eye-catching finish. The warm, golden tone gives a timeless radiance, while its unique brushed texture is perfectly on-trend, resulting in a finish that is stunning and distinctive. Its gentle metallic hue is perfect for contemporary spaces styled with other soft metallic finishes.
Modern palette
Matte Black makes a statement with its sophisticated, stylish personality. Perfect for both monochromatic or colourful spaces, this finish permits truly modern design.

Pastel hues
