11 Awesome Gunmetal Faucet Finishes for Bathrooms and Kitchens

Gone are the days of a standard brass faucet hovering over a generic hardware store sink. Today’s designs blend styles, textures, colors, shapes and patterns to create personality in bathroom and kitchen designs, and style meets convenience with Watermark Designs’ bathroom faucets.

One place where personality can really show through is in the choice of faucet finish. Whether you go bold and choose a solid color like white or red, stay traditional with chrome or nickel or make a subtle sophisticated statement with gunmetal — the finish that you choose can make or break a bathroom or kitchen design.

Luckily, we’ve rounded up 11 ways to incorporate faucets with a gunmetal finish to show you how easy it is to add a little edge to any design. Inspired by rifle barrels with a sheen that’s not quite matte and not quite shiny, gunmetal bathroom and kitchen faucets add an interesting touch to any design.

1. Stately and Stunning

One of the best decisions when it comes to choosing a kitchen faucet is choosing one that has enough height. Is there a bigger hassle than jamming a pot under a faucet that’s just too short and then spilling water everywhere once it’s full? We don’t think so.

A tall and stately gunmetal kitchen faucet reaches the perfect height to make food prep and taking care of dishes easy while its stripped-down look creates a beautiful yet minimal look to the space.

2. A Perfect Complement to Copper

Wondering what faucet would complement the look of a copper sink basin? Look no further than a faucet with a gunmetal finish. This kitchen design goes all out in color and texture, and the dappled copper sink looks amazing under the touchless kitchen faucet in gunmetal.

3. Earthy and Relaxed

The earthy calm of this shower is grounded in the soft brown tiles and gunmetal bathroom faucet. Earth tones have the power to connect us to nature and create a peaceful space that encourages us to wind down and relax. The layer of nickel that is under the upper surface of the gunmetal finish adds a subtle warmth that enhances the overall feel of this incredible shower space.

4. Monochrome Magic
