Aged Brass Tapware & Accessories
Why Choose Aged Brass Tapware
Aged brass tapware brings depth and character that polished finishes can’t match. Its soft golden tone and textured surface add warmth without feeling too shiny, which makes it perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundries that need a touch of personality. Over time, it develops subtle variations that tell a story, creating that effortlessly lived-in look Australians love in heritage or coastal-style homes.
How Aged Brass Taps Compare to Other Finishes
If you’re torn between finishes, think about the mood you want to create. Chrome tapware feels clean and modern, while brushed nickel offers a soft silver tone that suits contemporary spaces. Aged brass and antique brass tapware have more warmth and depth, making them ideal if you prefer a finish that feels timeless and layered rather than sleek or cold. They also sit beautifully alongside brushed brass accessories if you want variation within the same colour family.
Styling Tips for Bathrooms
In a bathroom, aged brass tapware instantly softens white tiles or marble benchtops. Pair a basin mixer with a curved wall mixer or brass shower for a cohesive finish. If you have a freestanding bath, choose a matching bath tap and diverter set to keep lines clean and consistent. For accessories, match your tapware tone with heated towel rails, toilet roll holders, and hand towel rails in the same finish.
How to Mix Finishes the Right Way
You don’t need to match everything. Aged brass works beautifully with soft neutrals, stone, and timber. Try combining it with gunmetal or matte black tapware to add subtle contrast without clashing. For a modern twist, mix brass tapware with a matte white basin or vanity in a light oak finish. The key is balance — one hero finish, supported by complementary tones.
Design Tips for Kitchens and Laundries
Brass taps aren't just for bathrooms. In a kitchen, it pairs perfectly with a stainless steel kitchen sink or granite sink. Choose a pull out kitchen mixer for practicality or a gooseneck design for a classic statement piece. In laundries, a matching laundry mixer in a brass finish creates consistency across your fittings, tying your whole home together.
Installation and Maintenance
When installed correctly, aged brass tapware performs as beautifully as it looks. All Buildmat products meet Australian standards for water efficiency and are backed by reliable warranties.
