Diary of A Tile Addict has just received the latest trend prediction from Easy Bathrooms. The super successful UK multi-site retailer – one of the fastest growing tile sellers in the UK – says it is witnessing a strong shift towards bronze brassware as home owners appreciate its muted, earthy warmth. Bronze, it seems, feels more permanent and grounded than flashy bright golds, and so ties in with the current zeitgeist. Homeowners and designers alike find that its tactile, aged quality adds depth to interiors; while its versatility allows it to bridge both modern and traditional colour palettes. So, at this year’s Cersaie, finding good ceramic pairings for bronze brassware should be one of the priorities for UK tile retailers.

There are several key drivers of the bronze brassware trend. DOATA thinks that the main one is that it plays into the macro trend of muted sophistication and authenticity. Bronze takes us beyond the shiny bling of overly bright yellow brassware toward subtle, rich, and organic metallic tones.

Also important is bronze’s material versatility. It pairs seamlessly with natural stone, and ceramic tiles that sport warm wood, or rich glaze colours such as navy or charcoal. Adding to this flexibility is bronze’s unmatched ability to be paired with other metallic finishes. Current design confidence embraces layering bronze with lighter brass or matt-black brassware, rather than relying on one-finish matching fixtures.

Finally, bronze has a timeless appeal. This means that it aligns with the “quiet luxury” movement that Tile Addict has already covered in some detail. This sees professional designers ands home owners alike favour understated character over fleeting design fads. You can see this in Easy Bathroom’s popular Tear and Zena ranges that both now sport a brand-new look in stylish bronze; combining contemporary design with this warm, on-trend finish.
