Bathroom taps as a design feature: Which colours and shapes are on trend today?
30. 9. 2026
In modern interiors, taps have become design accessories that can completely transform the atmosphere of an entire room. When fitting out their bathrooms, today’s customers are therefore looking not only for reliable functionality, but also want to stand out with innovative shapes, unconventional materials or striking colours. If you’re currently planning a new bathroom or a refurbishment, we’ll show you how the right choice of taps can enhance the whole space.
3 key steps for choosing the right bathroom tap
Before you set about making your purchase, it’s worth clarifying what you expect from your bathroom and setting your selection criteria accordingly.
Colours and finishes: Alongside classic polished chrome and stainless steel, more striking finishes are also becoming increasingly popular. Another popular choice is the gunmetal finish (an earthy, dark grey-metallic shade), which lends the space a subtle industrial feel. A warmer feel can be achieved, for example, with brushed copper or matt gold. You can’t go wrong with matt black taps either, which create a beautiful contrast to light-coloured tiles.
Harmony of form with ceramics: The design of a tap should always complement the rest of the fittings. Angular, minimalist models are the perfect match for washbasins with sharply defined features. Rounded taps, on the other hand, work well in bathrooms with softer lines, for example when combined with an oval washbasin or a freestanding bath. Faucet bodies that combine flat surfaces with gently rounded edges are also a versatile choice. The overall effect is modern, yet very cosy.
Quality of materials and technology: A flawless appearance must go hand in hand
with durability. Find out what the tap body is made of (high-quality brass should be
the standard), and also check the quality of the cartridge used. For coloured finishes (e.g. gold, copper, gunmetal), look for PVD technology, which enhances the surface’s resistance to wear and scratches.
The CUBEMIX range: Simple shapes, striking details
If you’re looking for taps that reflect current trends whilst retaining a timeless look, the CUBEMIX range from our SAPHO brand could be just what you’re after. It is characterised by clean shapes, simple lines and a design that fits perfectly into modern bathrooms. As well as its appearance, the series also emphasises build quality and everyday comfort. The taps feature a robust brass body, a high-quality cartridge and a 3°-angled aerator, which ensures the water flows straight down.

- Smooth and precise control: The lever control allows you to comfortably adjust the water flow and temperature.
- A solution for the whole room: CUBEMIX is not just about a washbasin tap. The range offers a comprehensive overview of taps for washbasins, baths, bidets and shower cubicles, including concealed versions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which tap colours are set to dominate bathroom design in the near future?
Special metallic finishes are in high demand, particularly gunmetal, which has a very modern look, and warm copper. Matt gold also remains a popular choice, as does matt black for those who love contrast.
How can you ensure that your coloured tap stays looking as good as new for a long time?
The key is to avoid harsh chemical cleaners and abrasive sponges. For routine maintenance, a soft microfibre cloth and soapy water will suffice. If you choose taps with a PVD finish (used for selected finishes), you’ll have one less thing to worry about, as the colour application technology creates a highly durable surface.
Can I match the taps to other metal fittings in the bathroom?
Yes, matching metal fittings helps to create a cohesive look in the bathroom. Taps in chrome, black, gold, copper and gunmetal can also be matched with shower screen frames, drains, siphons and bathroom accessories (e.g. hooks and towel rails). You’ll find everything you need in our range to make your bathroom exactly as you’d like it.
