The finish of bathroom fixtures and fittings can completely transform the style of a bathroom. Details such as a matte black faucet, a gold towel rack, or a mirror with a chrome frame define the personality of the space and provide visual coherence.
At Merkimarket, we help you discover how to mix or match these finishes without losing harmony or elegance.
1. Black finish: minimalism and character
Matte black is synonymous with modernity. It adds a contemporary, understated, and sophisticated touch. Ideal for industrial or minimalist style bathrooms .
Tips:
- Combine with light walls or white marble surfaces to highlight the contrast.
- Avoid overloading the space with other dark finishes.
- Pair it with black or natural wood accessories to maintain balance.

2. Gold finish: warm and sophisticated luxury
Gold is the perfect finish for those seeking an elegant and warm bathroom. Its presence adds brightness and a sense of luxury, without requiring major changes.
Tips:
- Use it as a focal point: a single golden element ( faucet , mirror or lamp) can elevate the whole.
- It combines well with neutral tones (white, beige, gray) or natural materials (wood, stone).
- Avoid mixing with too many different metallic tones.

3. Chrome finish: classic, versatile and timeless
Chrome is a classic that never goes out of style. Its shine reflects light and visually expands small spaces.
Tips:
- It's the safest option if you're looking for a clean and long-lasting style.
- It easily matches black or white finishes.
- Maintain its shine with regular cleaning using soft cloths and neutral products.

4. How to combine them without losing coherence
Combining different finishes can work if a visual logic is maintained:
- Choose a dominant finish (70%), a secondary finish (20%) and an accent (10%).
- Keep the same texture (matte or glossy) to unify the set.
- Distribute the finishes evenly: don't concentrate them all in one area.
For example: chrome faucets (main), black accessories (secondary) and a gold lamp (accent).
Conclusion
The ideal finish depends on the style and personality you want to reflect in your bathroom. Black is modern, gold is elegant, and chrome is versatile; combining them thoughtfully is key to achieving a harmonious space.
