How Your Choice of Bathroom Finish Can Completely Change the Feel of Your Space

Close up of bathroom vanity with two white basins, brushed gunmetal taps, a loewe hand soap, and a vase with olive leaves.

The right finish does much more than serve a mere function in a bathroom — it sets the tone for the entire space. A serene retreat, a room rich with materiality, a bold and energising escape; it’s the finishing touch that brings it all together.

So, while most people turn their attention to larger details such as the tiles, vanity, mirror, and layout, it’s equally worthwhile to consider your choice of finish and what it says about your space (and personal taste).

ABI Interiors' range of eight signature finishes, including a newly released Tumbled Aged Brass, gives you the power to curate a space that speaks to your own personal style. Founded in Australia back in 2016, the now globally recognised brand was built on the belief that by enriching spaces, you can enrich the lives of those who live in them, too.

From tapware to showers, hardware, and more, the brand’s extensive range is designed to last — not only in terms of durability, but style, too. And with up to 25 years’ warranty, you can confidently design a space knowing you’ll get to enjoy it for years to come.

Find your perfect bathroom finish in the six styles from ABI Interiors below.

Brushed Brass — Traditional Meets Modern Elegance

Warm, rich, and classically elegant, Brushed Brass blends heritage charm with contemporary style. It’s an ideal finish for layering into warm, neutral palettes, and while it certainly leans into traditional-style spaces — think classic tile patterns, warm honeyed timbers, and natural stone finishes — it still feels modern.

Brushed Copper — Cultural Influence & Bold Personality

For the more eclectic aesthete, Brushed Copper conjures a worldly sensibility, bringing warmth and vibrancy to a bathroom. It works best in a layered space — glossy tiles, raw terracotta finishes, and deep, jewel-toned palettes. It carries the personality of patina while still feeling sleek and sophisticated.

Brushed Gunmetal — Architectural & Understated

Moody, modern, and effortlessly sleek, Brushed Gunmetal feels architectural, contemporary, and almost industrial — yet subtle. It gives monochrome and minimalist spaces an edginess; a focal point that doesn’t need to shout, but still commands attention.

Matte Black — Sleek, Modern, & Industrial

Matte Black adds much-needed contrast — whether that’s standing out against surfaces like stone or terrazzo, or the fact that it’s matte against a predominantly glossy backdrop. It feels almost structural, confident, and contemporary, with its clean lines and balanced yet bold aesthetic ensuring it feels stylish.

White — Crisp & Colour-Friendly

Elegant, fresh, and utterly unexpected, White is the perfect complement to more vibrant and colourful spaces — statement tiles, graphic wallpapers, or sculptural vanities, but will equally layer beautifully into pared-back, coastal-inspired interiors with a light, bright, and airy aesthetic. Consider this your blank canvas.

Brushed Nickel — Timeless & Versatile

Effortlessly versatile, Brushed Nickel is almost neutral when it comes to bathroom finishes, though it still feels design-forward. Its cool undertones ensure a timeless aesthetic, while the soft sheen reads taste. Pair it with marble, timber, and neutral palettes for an enduring sense of style.



Whether there is one clear finish that unmistakably speaks to your personal style, or you’re interested in learning how to cohesively combine different finishes, the team at ABI Interiors is here to help.

You can shop ABI Interiors’ Colour Samples online to try them out in your own space first, or visit the London Showroom to explore the range in person.
