Gold-colored fittings
The times when gold was reserved exclusively for exaggerated glamour, associated with pomp, is now just history. This finish comes back to favor and is storming the interior design. A perfect example of this is the ever-growing popularity of gold-colored fittings. Classic, simple, relaxed shapes of the bodies without unnecessary decorative details have become more universal and extremely elegant in the golden finish. Thanks to that fact, an increasing number of architects and decorators use golden taps or showers in their projects for demanding clients who care about effective interior..
Gold and gold...
The first choice to be made when deciding on golden fittings is picking the right shade. Depending on the effect you want to achieve in your bathroom, you can choose the "rose gold" tint or the traditional yellow shade.
Rose gold
is considered to be more subtle and delicate, which is especially noticeable in the wedding jewelry industry. It will work well in interiors maintained in a classic, minimalist style. This version of fittings in rose gold should be chosen by people who care about an effective decor, but obtained in discreet shades.
Fittings in yellow gold
are a relatively new trend on the interior design market. It is definitely a proposition for bolder home decorating. Mixer taps in this finish will play a dominant role in a bathroom and you should carefully consider the selection of other elements of decor so that it doesn’t border on kitsch. Yellow gold is a demanding finish, but its proper use will certainly reward you with a unique interior.
Suitable background
The old rule "to each his own" applies to interior design as well. We can combine golden mixers with basically anything. However, a few textbook color combinations should be mentioned, which guarantee a spectacular result.
Golden mixers + marble It is difficult to find a more natural combination than golden fittings on the background of marble imitating tiles. This style could be described without hesitation as antique, reminiscent of the times of the pharaohs or tsarist Russia. Marble glaze, due to the wide range of patterns and colors, offers great decorating possibilities and is a perfect match for golden taps and showers. |
Golden mixers + bottle green Contrasting combinations always look effective, and the intense green color brings out all its glow from the golden fittings. Due to the overwhelming intensity of such a color, gold often appears in bathroom design as an element, e.g. on furniture fronts. |

Golden mixers + white Aficionados of pure forms should consider combining golden fittings with white tiles and sanitary ceramics. White background softens a bit the intensity of the gold, but the composition still remains very elegant. If you are afraid of achieving an excessively sterile effect, you can soften the bathroom by adding, for example, wood-like tiles to the decor. |
Golden mixers + navy blue TThis is the second color combination that is based on contrast. If you opt for an elegant bathroom you should include navy blue elements in its decor. |

What to combine it with in order to avoid overdoing?
Matching the right accessories with golden mixers requires careful consideration. It is not difficult to overkill in this case. By choosing a strong accent that will attract attention, you could combine a mixer with a steel washbasin in the same finish. If you care for a more subtle effect, you can use a click-clack plug matching in color and a decorative washbasin siphon. A design with the use of golden fittings could be complemented with a flush-mounted rack with golden buttons.

Caring for gold fittings doesn’t differ much from cleaning traditional chrome mixers. Systematic maintenance and appropriate preparations are sufficient, and the fittings will repay you with shine. Firstly, use a soft cloth for cleaning surfaces from stains left by water or soap. Secondly, reach for products dedicated to a specific type of fittings, such as preparations for cleaning and caring for colored taps by Laveo.
