Mixing and Matching Coloured Faucets with Your Bathroom Accessories

The bath fittings and sanitaryware industry has come so far in terms of design and colour options. Unlike earlier, when there were just white ceramic basins and chrome finish faucets, there is a huge variety of options in the market today.

Johnson Elite offers an entire range of coloured faucets and fittings, and sanitaryware products to cater to modern interior needs and preferences. Now, you can achieve your desired bathroom look and follow any colour theme that you love. However, that is only possible when you properly mix and match these coloured faucets and fittings with your bathroom accessories and overall theme of your bath space. 

Different Ways to Mix & Match Coloured Faucets with Your Bathroom Accessories

There are several ways in which you can mix and match coloured faucets with your bathroom accessories. Based on your personal preferences and the overall size and theme of your bathroom, you can choose any of the following ideas:

1. Choose One Finish & Find Matching Accessories

If you want to ensure consistency across your entire bathroom, you can choose one finish. Choose a metallic finish that goes well with the overall theme of your bathroom and select all matching accessories. This gives a sophisticated and modern look to your bathroom while also eliminating the hassle of mixing & matching different metallic finishes. 

For example, if you want gold-coloured accessories for a premium look, choose faucets, showers, health faucets, hand showers, and even angle cocks in gold finish from Johnson Elite of coloured faucets. These gold faucets and fittings go very well with a dark green-themed bathroom. 

You can combine them with Johnson Elite’s Matt Dark Green Wash Basin and Water Closet to achieve a premium look. If you want an all-black theme, you can choose the matt black coloured faucets from this collection and combine them with matt black sanitaryware fittings. Here, the idea is to stick to just one finish, and that should be followed all across the bathroom. 

2. Create Contrast with Metals: Use the 70/30 Rule

Another idea to incorporate coloured faucets in your bathroom is to choose contrasting metallic colours. Instead of choosing the same or similar colours like black and dark grey, go for contrasting colours like matt black and rose gold. 

According to the 70/30 rule, you choose two contrasting colours, where one colour is primary and one is secondary. The primary colour or finish should appear on 70 percent of your bathroom accessories or fixtures, and the secondary colour on the other 30 percent. The primary colour can be the one that matches your bathroom theme, and the secondary colour should create a complementing contrast. 

Now, if you have a black themed bathroom, you can choose matt black as the primary colour and rose gold as secondary. All your bathroom accessories and fixtures should majorly have a matt black finish, except 30% of accessories. For this, you can choose the matt black wash basin and matt black water closet from Johnson Elite. To create a contrast, install rose gold coloured faucets and showers. 

Another option here is to combine gold and gunmetal coloured faucets and fittings. Gunmetal is a dark grey metallic finish that looks premium and aligns well with modern bath spaces. Under Johnson Elite coloured collection, you can find faucets and fittings in both gunmetal and gold finishes. Keep most of your bathroom neutral with dark grey fixtures and gun metal fittings while creating a contrast with gold coloured showers and faucets. 

3. Use Three Finishes, With One As the Accent Finish

Creating contrast with two colours is one thing, but using three different finishes is also a trend these days. You can use two finishes as the primary and secondary finish, and the third finish as an accent. But you need to be very careful while using the third accent finish to avoid a cluttered look. 

First thing to keep in mind is that all three colours go well with each other. Then, the accent finish or colour should be used very sparingly so that it doesn’t make your space look overwhelmed. If this idea excites you, you can consider choosing matt black, gunmetal, and rose gold/gold coloured faucets and fittings from Johnson Elite. Rose gold or gold can be your accent colour here and should be used carefully. 

This is a good idea for spacious or large-sized bathrooms, as small bathrooms can look even smaller when multiple colours and finishes are used.

Tips to Consider When Mixing & Matching Coloured Faucets and Bathroom Accessories

Below are some additional tips to consider when mixing coloured faucets with your bathroom accessories:

• Consider The Overall theme: Your decision of following a consistent colour or choosing contrasting colours should also depend on the overall theme of your bathroom. If you want to maintain a minimalistic theme with simple colours, going with a single colour/finish would be better. But if you want to add some vibe to this minimalism, you can choose two contrasting finishes. However, if you want a bold theme, you can consider mixing two or even three different finishes. 
• Keep Functional Categories Consistent: When creating contrast with two colours, try to keep all the functional categories consistent. For example, your wash basin faucets, shower fixture, health faucets, bathtub spout, etc, should be in the same colour. Whereas the wash basin, the water closet, and bathtubs should be in the same colour, which creates a contrast with the faucet colours. If your idea is to mix two different colours or finishes in faucets/fittings, then you can follow the 70/30 rule as explained above.
• Don’t Overdo It: Overdoing anything is never a great idea. If your bathroom already has too many bold elements like colourful tiles and decor items, choosing coloured faucets in two or three different finishes can be a bad idea, as it will make your bath space look overwhelmed.
