Plumbing fixtures come in a number of finishes and the hottest one on the market today is Champagne Bronze, pictured below:
Delta, for example, has over 20 available finishes, though not all are available for each product. According to the Showroom Manager, Judy Nodine, at Hughes Supply-Statesville, the current top 5 finishes are:
#1-Brushed (or Satin) Nickel is in the silver family and has a low gloss
#2-Polished Chrome is in the silver family and has a high gloss…….I love this one, always classic!
It’s easy to mix and match these two finishes in the same home and coordinate with lighting, door hardware, shower door and more.
#3-Polished Nickel, has a low gloss and gold undertone so goes with silver or gold
#4-Champagne Bronze has a warm muted gold look and is very popular right now.
#5-Oil Rubbed Bronze has has a dark muted finish with gold undertones. This one appears to be going of style now but if you love it you might just use it in one location such as kitchen or powder room faucet instead of the finish for the whole house.
