Gold bathroom taps – Are they a thing of the past?

In the latest brochures from Sagittarius, Tre Mercati, Bristan, Home of Ultra, John Sydney, Mayfair there is nothing but the cold brush of chrome. I’m wondering why this is? A cursory search of the Internet reveals a few sites selling some odds and sods but not the same comprehensive selection that chrome offers.

Here at Bathshop321.com we spend hours listing new products from many different manufacturers and increasingly we find no-one is selling anything gold finish.

According to our oldest serving member the demise of gold began over a decade ago when the thirst for chrome finish

began. A few manufacturers (Tre Mercati for example) offers a service where an existing tap from the range can be dip died to the required gold finish – a more expensive option but probably opens up a much wider choice for you.

Typically, we find the customer in search of the elusive gold tap is trying to match with an existing suite – great if you can find your tap’s mate – not so great if you get lost in the world of internet search engines!

Gold looks great if you are going for a certain style in your bathroom – generally with an emphasis on opulence, flamboyance and complimented by warm earthy tones.

His and hers vanity units are nicely complimented by an overmount worktop and stylish accessories.

Compare this to the uber modern, almost clinical finish on this bathroom you can see the two are at opposite ends of the style spectrum.

Things come and go out of fashion – at the moment gold whilst looking nice is way off the style-o-meter, it is well and truly chrome’s day. I’m not too sure we won’t be seeing gold making its way into our bathrooms once more in the not too distant future.
