Simply replacing an individual tap can have a huge effect on how a bathroom looks. Exceptional finishes and clean shapes give the room fresh accents and add a contemporary flair. Skillfully combining elements can create a surprisingly stylish aesthetic, brimming with personality, with next to no effort.

Chrome: the classic of classics
Bathroom-Review-Duravit_Upgrade_Faucet_White_Tulip

Chrome has been a firm feature of bathrooms for decades. As a surface finish, it is unsurpassed in its timeless elegance, it harmonises perfectly with a range of styles, and lends itself to creative combinations. It is precisely this timelessness that makes chrome a true all-rounder.

It is not only the material itself that informs the aesthetic, but the shape, which is key. The White Tulip tap from Philippe Starck echoes the silhouette of a flower in bloom – an organic form that imbues the bathroom with a natural, elegant character.

Black Matt: urban elegance
Bathroom-Review_Upgrade_Faucet_Manhattan

A black tap produces a striking accent and brings a contemporary, expressive character into the bathroom. Whilst the interplay with white ceramic creates a fascinating contrast. The Manhattan tap in Matt Black perfectly embraces this style and interprets it in a clear, striking design language, making black taps an ideal match for urban residential concepts and loft designs – alternatively, they can bring a contemporary nuance to bathrooms with a more classical style.

Brushed Bronze & Polished Gold: gentle luxury

Brushed Bronze and Polished Gold are an exclusive choice that gives a bathroom the feel of a boutique hotel. These surfaces exude pure elegance while at the same time bringing a pleasant warmth into the design. The taps
within the Wave series combine soft curves with precise edges to create a design that is as extravagant as it is harmonious. In combination with the other elements, a coherent picture arises that showcases personality and transforms the room into a true statement.

Brushed Stainless Steel: natural restraint

Bathroom-Review-_Upgrade_Faucet_Wave

Brushed Stainless Steel is the perfect choice to achieve serenity and clarity in design while retaining the finer details. The matt finish of the Balcoon tap by Patricia Urquiola exudes a sense of calm and elegance within the bathroom. Its restrained design adds a touch of class without being overly obtrusive. The contrast with gleaming ceramic is especially effective in creating a harmonious interplay of materials – natural, contemporary, and displaying a distinct sense of style.

Hansgrohe has introduced the Zesis S mixer range – a design-led collection set to elevate bathroom spaces with a focus on calm, simplicity, and sustainability. With its clean lines and tactile design, the new series brings both style and substance to the basin area.

Available in refined chrome and bold matt black finishes, Zesis S features a minimalist aesthetic shaped by soft curves and cylindrical forms. The design language is clear: subtle sophistication that endures, offering a modern solution for the specifier or design-conscious homeowner seeking a cohesive, calming environment.

A tactile approach to everyday beauty

Designed with human interaction in mind, Zesis S embodies a balance of form and comfort. The soft edges and uncluttered silhouette have a tranquil, grounding presence. An integrated aerator ensures a smooth, gentle water flow, supporting not just visual elegance, but sensory well-being.

The effect is immediate: a basin mixer that not only looks refined but also enhances the atmosphere of the entire bathroom.

Sustainability without compromise

At the heart of Zesis S is EcoSmart+ With flow limited to just four litres per minute at three bar pressure, the mixer uses around 20% less water than existing EcoSmart models from Hansgrohe. This efficient performance is delivered without compromising user experience, making it ideal for environmentally responsible specifications.

CoolStart technology ensures that only cold water flows when the handle is in the centre position, to prevent heating the water unnecessarily when performing minor hygiene rituals.

Easy cleaning

In addition to a reduced, clear design, hansgrohe Zesis offers an uncomplicated cleaning process. Small radii, the absence of a base and the use of high-quality materials make the cleaning routine as convenient as possible.

A comprehensive solution

Zesis S is more than just a product range; it offers a comprehensive solution for the harmonious design of the entire bathroom. The collection comprises various models, including a freestanding bath mixer, which make it possible to achieve a uniform and stylish design in every detail. In this way, hansgrohe Zesis S transforms the entire bathroom into a timeless place of serenity.

Bathrooms to Love by PJH has continued to build upon its recent Art Deco-inspired bathroom theme by unveiling a brand new brassware range, ‘Roda’.

Taking inspiration from the modernist Art Deco design movement, the new Roda range boasts clean, angular lines and a bold geometric form for striking aesthetics. It follows the launch of the statement ‘Deco’ washbowl, also inspired by Art Deco design. 

Available in three flawless finishes; Brushed Brass, Matt Black and Chrome, the Roda family consists of basin mixer taps, tall basin mixer taps, bath fillers and bath/shower mixers. Made from a solid brass body, the brushed brass range features a special PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating, providing an incredibly hard wearing, reliable finish that is resistant to tarnishing and everyday wear. Meanwhile, the matt black range has an electrophoretic coated finish, a durable coating that also protects against scratching, corrosion and tarnish.

The deck-mounted Roda taps feature single-lever cartridges for smooth and streamlined operation, and the standard basin mixer tap is supplied complete with a waste. A recommended minimum water pressure of 1.0 bar applies to both basin mixer taps, while the two bath taps require a minimum pressure of 0.5 bar.

Guaranteed to make a bold design statement in any bathroom space, the striking Roda Brassware range’s sleek geometric form and fine angles combined with a luxurious finish, results in an opulent look perfect for contemporary bathroom projects.

Roda is the perfect partner for many of the basins in the Bathrooms to Love collection – including vanity basin units, vessel basins, one-piece basin worktops, and semi-recessed or inset basins.

With a Five-year Guarantee on body and finish, and a Three-year Guarantee on valves, the Roda Brassware range is available for Next Day Delivery, to store or home address, by ordering via the PJH Partners Portal. Or for further information on the Roda range, display deals or Bathrooms to Love showroom sales support, speak to your Regional PJH sales manager now.

Grange Design, UK-based bathroom industry brand, is embracing the micro-luxury trend where small-scale basin taps are providing a touch of luxe in today’s bathroom.

Proving that designer form and function isn’t all about size, the latest research confirms that having a second bathroom remains a favourite amongst UK homeowners, increasing property prices by up to 6%. Typically compact in size, small bathroom spaces like the downstairs cloakroom or ensuite can be just as functional and stylish as the main bathroom, they just require meticulous planning to achieve the desired results. 

From function and user ergonomics to design aesthetics and unseen product features, choosing the right basin taps is critical for ensuring a robust and user-centric bathroom experience. Whether classic or traditional, the micro-luxury trend not only considers the style and finish of the taps, but also their size, handles, and installation requirements. Helping you to better determine the type of basin to go for such as corner, wall hung, or compact vanity basins with integrated storage, micro-luxe basin taps are your answer to a superior wash routine.

Clive Griffiths, manager at Grange Design recommends, “The compact bathroom is under the spotlight as the desire for a second wash space continues to rise in popularity. When it comes to the design of tap, slim and tall mono basin mixers with single or dual lever controls are a great choice for adding form and function to a bijou basin area. If we look at style, then durable tap finishes in contemporary matt black and chrome remain hot favourites in the bathroom, as they complement principal design features to evoke luxury on a smaller scale.”

The Atlantic Collection by Grange Design is ideal for compact bathroom spaces thanks to its pared-back style and well-defined silhouettes. Manufactured from solid brass and available in either Chrome or Matt Black finish options, the range of Atlantic basin mixers are your best introduction to the micro-luxury trend. Choose from:
