What are chrome bathroom fixtures?
Chrome is the classic finish for faucets and showers: a shiny, reflective coating that catches the light and gives the bathroom a fresh, bright look. Chrome blends in seamlessly, making it a safe choice with almost any tile and furniture color. That’s also why this collection consists mainly of faucets, shower systems, and installation materials: the components you see and use most often.

Chrome faucets: what should you consider?
With a chrome faucet, the choice usually comes down to technology and shape, since the color is already decided. A thermostatic shower faucet maintains the set temperature, which is convenient when several people shower. A single-lever faucet at the washbasin is quick and intuitive to use. For a small basin faucet, check the basin’s dimensions; for a kitchen faucet, consider a swivel or pull-out spout. Since chrome is so widely available, it’s easy to pair a faucet from one range with accessories from another.
Chrome, matte chrome, or stainless steel?
| Finish | Appearance | Goes well with |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome (polished) | Reflective and bright | White and light-colored tiles, classic and modern bathrooms |
| Matte chrome | Silver-colored with less shine | Understated interiors; in this collection, including flush plates and bathtub grab bars |
| Brushed stainless steel / steel | Fine line pattern, metallic appearance | Industrial or natural styles, concrete look |
Are you unsure whether to choose chrome or stainless steel? Focus on the atmosphere you’re looking for. Chrome adds shine and brightness and goes with almost all existing faucets and showers. Brushed stainless steel has a more understated, metallic look. Feel free to compare our stainless steel bathroom fixtures collection before choosing.
Pairing chrome with tiles and furniture
Chrome lets its surroundings take center stage. Paired with white tiles, it creates a light, fresh look, while with marble-look or dark tiles, the shiny metal adds sparkle. Chrome also features in the shower, for example as the profile of a walk-in shower with clear or smoked glass. For a cohesive look, choose chrome for the tap, shower and accessories; a single touch of matte black or white can work, but keep the number of finishes limited.
Cleaning a chrome tap
- Wipe the tap dry after use; water droplets and fingerprints are more noticeable on polished chrome.
- Clean with mild soapy water or a pH-neutral cleaner and a soft or microfiber cloth.
- Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch the glossy finish.
- Rinse with clean water and wipe dry for a streak-free shine.
- Follow the care instructions provided with the product by the manufacturer.
