Bathroom Remodeling / November 28, 2021

When planning your bathroom remodel, one of the fun aspects is choosing your fixture style. Bathroom fixtures come in such a wide range of styles, colors, and finishes that you may have trouble choosing your favorites. Depending upon the fixtures and styles you select, you can enhance the overall character with the look and feel of your bathroom remodel. As experienced bathroom remodeling contractors in VA, we’d like to share our best advice for choosing the ideal bathroom fixtures from faucet finishes to shower head style.

Bathroom Fixture Options for Your Remodel

Popular faucet finishes for bathroom remodeling:
The humble bathroom faucet is a great place to start fixture selection for your new bathroom renovation. Once you select your faucet style and finish, you can plan the other bathroom details around it.

  • Nickel (brushed) faucets: Select nickel if you prefer a subtle but sophisticated bathroom design. Brushed nickel faucets, with their easy-care finish that doesn’t show smudges, require less upkeep than polished metal faucets.
  • Chrome (polished) faucets: Chrome is a well-liked faucet finish that is frequently chosen due to its affordability and versatility. It looks wonderful with almost any style of bathroom. The polished finish is somewhat prone to water spotting, fingerprints, etc.
  • Brass (polished) faucets: High-gloss brass faucets and fixtures are a little unexpected in a world where classic chrome dominates. This makes them eye-catching and stylish. The warm finish is at home in a variety of bathroom designs. Fingerprints and liquid drips will show up on a polished surface, but there are cleaning tips to help them stay pristine.
  • Bronze faucets: Bronze faucets range from very dark to bright and light in color. Partly due to the variety of hues, bronze fixtures look lovely whether you prefer a modern bathroom remodel or a more traditional style.

The latest shower head options for a spa-like bathroom remodel:
Each of these popular shower head styles offer a unique water flow and form factor. Depending upon your preference, each can provide an energy boosting, refreshing morning shower and/or a relaxing evening shower experience. If you find you can’t decide between styles, you can create the ultimate luxury bath experience by installing a combination of some or all.

  • Rainfall shower heads: If you enjoy a shower that feels like stepping out into the rain, this could be the perfect option for your newly remodeled bathroom. You can choose from a variety of shapes, such as circular, square, rectangular, oval, and more.
  • Wall-mounted shower heads: A traditional option, this style is seen in many bathrooms due to its practicality and the variety of spray patterns, sizes, and shapes.
  • Hand-operated shower heads: A hand-held shower head is very convenient, so, its popularity is no surprise. You also have the option of leaving the shower head in its wall-mounted holder.
